Norah is 2!

Norah Bell

Norah is a Lover of dress ups, making her sisters laugh, changing her clothes, and snuggling. 

When you tell her to smile she closes her eyes and cheeses it as big as she can. I think she does it because she knows it makes us laugh. 

She changes her clothes 5 times a day and loves to put on her sisters dresses and shoes. (Usually her shoes don't match) She calls all dresses "Elsa's" (like the princess Elsa) 

Her Hair has stayed curly at the ends and it has grown like a weed in the last 6 months! 

Here she is drinking out of two cups at the same time at dinner to make her sisters laugh.

We all think she looks more and more like me every day. 

Things to remember:

Norah LOVES sausage and hot dogs. She calls EVERY kind of meet we are eating "gok gogs" 

She loves to block the door way with her arms out and ask "What's the password?" when you're trying to leave or enter a room. 

Every time we get her out of the car she pretends she is asleep. After a 10-15 seconds she'll open her eyes and Laugh "I'm just tidding!" 

She points to pictures of Jesus and the temple  and  calls them "Jesus Christ Amen"

She love to go to nursery. Each week when she walks in she hold out her dress and walks in very slowly for all to admire her. Her teachers are so sweet to always tell her how beautiful she looks as she walks in and she eats it up!

Adaliah is 6!

One Monday evening, Adaliah told us she wanted to give the Family Night Lesson that she had prepared. Her lesson went something like this:

"Choosing the Right s is like pumping on the swings. Sometimes you get really tired, and it's really hard. But when you keep pumping you get to go so high and it's so fun- so it's always worth it." Then she had us all take a turn telling what things we are going to do to keep our swing going high. 

This stories pretty much sums up Adaliah at age 6. She's a deep thinker, wise beyond her years, loves to teach, and such a sweet little heart. 

Adaliah loves to play with  my phone and take selfies , record herself singing self composed songs, and make tutorial videos.

She had lost 6 teeth by her 6th birthday.  4 of them were lost in a 6 week period.

Adaliah loves to lead. She is usually directing her sisters around-  teaching them a dance, a song, school... ext. She wanted to start a dance class for Elizabeth and all of her friends. She made and delivered invitations.   She made up a dance to teach, and helped me make cookies to serve for a treat after it was over. She had about 9 kids show  up  to her dance class. I was worried how she would do under pressure but she LOVED it and did a great job. When it was all over I asked her if she had fun and she said "Yes! It went even better then I hoped!"

Adaliah loves drawing pictures and  making cards. I'm talking.... 5-10 a day. We go though paper like you wouldn't believe.

For her birthday this year we had to keep it low key because i was 8+ months pregnant. We took the girls plus her two best friends Gracie and Sienna to Kangaroo Zoo

Pete took the two birthday girls out for lunch and icream.

And then we had a combined birthday party for her and Norah with some family. Adaliah wanted to have a valentines birthday- so we had a heart cake and played some valentines games.
