Nora's Newest Developments

Since her half birthday, Nora has really improved her ability to sit up unassisted.  She still wobbles around a bit, but she manages to stay upright for longer periods every day.  She can even hold her toys while sitting now and no longer has to steady herself with her arms like a tightrope walker.



I can't believe how much more of a "kid" she seems like now that she can sit.  I thought the mobility milestones like rolling, crawling, and walking would be the ones that made me feel like she was really growing up, but this one definitely seems like the biggest stride so far.  It doesn't feel like too long ago that she couldn't even lift her chin off her chest, so it's remarkable to me that she can hold her whole body upright.

She also cut her first tooth this past week!  We've been able to see her bottom front teeth making their way up for a while now, but Billy noticed on Wednesday that the left one had finally pushed through.  It sure is sharp!  The right one looks like it's only a few days away, and her top teeth don't seem to be far behind, either.
