14 Months Old!

Norah was 14 months old on April 5th! At 14 months Norah weighs 20 lbs 5 oz (I don't know her height, and only know her weight because I took her to the doctor for a fever and a rash she had, which turned out to just be Roseola). This girl is a walking machine! Norah now walks everywhere and it is very rare that you see her crawling any more! A few more teeth came through for Miss this past month, the two side ones on the bottom and then the other side one on the top! She now has all eight of her front teeth! Now we're just waiting for those nice molars to come in... :) Norah's climbing abilities truly came out this past month as she discovered she can now climb onto out dining room chairs and then onto the table!! Talk about being a bit frustrating! :) If anything is on the table, she is usually seen pulling out the chair, climbing the chair and then is up on the table to take a look at whatever is there. And don't be fooled if you think you are going to just whisk her off and have her be on her merry way...no no, she is usually right back up there about 30 seconds later... :) Norah's personality is coming out more and more. She is a very persistent and determined little girl (as noted by the climbing the table example). She wants to do anything and everything that her big brother is going and gets VERY mad if you try to tell her otherwise. She also loves to destroy anything Kyler is working on. She does love her big brother very much though and especially loves to get him up in the morning and from his nap. She runs to his room, flings open the door and runs right over and tries to climb up on his bed. Another thing Norah is really into right now is wearing things. She loves to put on beads or any sort of necklace (like Erik's lanyard for church) and walk around the house. She also likes to put on glasses or different hats as you can see in the pictures below. Norah has also discovered the sandbox this month as we have had some nice days outside. She really enjoys digging with the shovel and running the sand through her hands-can't wait to take her to the lake this summer!! Here are some pictures of Miss Norah from the past month!
