The Little Whiles: Here comes trouble... and some of This & That

My sweet baby boy has turned to mischief much too early...

Wishing I would have had my other lens on so these wouldn't be so dark & grainy :(

I had 10 "set me down and I will stay put" months with Norah, but this little guy was only willing to put up with that for 8 short months.

Just in the past few weeks he's begun crawling, pulling up on everything he shouldn't be, attempting to cruise, clapping, semi-waving and he even sprouted a tiny tooth!

In other happenings, his big sister Norah has got mom & dad busting a gut lately. The other night Nona had brought over a delicious Greek dinner of spanakopita (spinach pies) and a barley salad. Norah sat down and looked over her plate, searching for something she likes...

Norah (with a slanted brow and a look of disgust): "This is poop!"
Me: "It is spinach honey, it's not poop. It's delicious! Try it and you might like it."
Norah (waving her hand over the entire plate): "This is alllll poop."
Colin: "Norah, do you really think we would serve you poop? We would never do that."
Norah: "Yes. Yes you would."

We couldn't help it, we both broke out into laughter as Norah continued to sit there seriously disappointed in her dinner and Clark stuffed his face with Mum-mums.

This girl is growing up way too fast. We went on her very first field trip to the Zoo last week! It is so fun to hang out with her in her own setting. I usually only get to daydream about what she is like at preschool. Is she shy? Is she happy? Is she a trouble maker or a teacher's pet? Turns out she is a fun little cuddle-bug, with a touch of bossy :) Isaac was Norah's partner at the Zoo and at times he would have to fend off her forceful hand-holding, head-patting and belly nuzzles. As if she was talking to a puppy - head tilted with a tiny sweet voice - she would say "Come on Isaac. Hold my hand and come with my Mom now. Come on!"
