Dear Nora,
Dear, sweet, late-night child. This month saw a lot of changes for you.
Class of 2011 at Zach Zakhari's 1st Bday |
You learned to focus on our faces, and you watch us as we walk around the living room from your little bouncy chair.
Thanks for the leg warmers Auntie Mish! |
1st time visiting The Knutzens |
At EJ's with Uncle Mike |
You smile at us and even laugh on occasion. You make the sweetest sounds that melt out hearts--particularly little words like, "hahrhaar."
We think you might have said your first word. You let out a sweet, "khaarrll" and we asked... Nora, who is Carl? Since you didn't elaborate, we gave the name to your stuffed animal bunny as an interim measure, until we learn more.

Notice the band-aids on poor Nora's legs |
You had fun celebrating your 2 month old birthday at your buddy Azariah's house, and you even got to ride the tram to Roosevelt Island.

You also made a quick visit to Bloomingdale's, and Sotheby's.
You are soothed and enchanted by your butterfly moblie that hovers over your crib.
You favor your left side and we suspect you might be left-handed.
You have difficulty going to sleep at night and Daddy still has to bounce you and sing, "Amazing Grace" to calm you down, but once asleep you have been sleeping for stretches of 4-6 hours more often.
In West Village for Auntie Sylvia's Bday |
We have decided that we like this two month stage, even if it is a sleep challenge. Your personality is starting to emerge and we love that you want to join to sing or chat with us.
Thanks for the polka dot onesie Auntie Emma! |
We look forward to growing with you, Little Bear.
We're going to sleep now.
Love,
Daddy and Mama
