Norah loves the feeling of the wind on her face. She likes it when her hair blows in the breeze. For this reason, we often play a little game where mommy (or daddy) blows on Norah's face and she grins and laughs. This week she surprised me one morning,when I blew on her face...and she blew back. It was the first time I'd seen her blow. She liked it so much that she kept it up all day...and about half the time, her pucker was accompanied by a little whistle. Who'd have thought that an 8 month old could whistle? (not that it is controlled or intentional...but still, impressive!)She's also back into blowing raspberries--big time. She'd quit for a while, and to tell you the truth, I had kinda started to miss it. But they're back with a vengance. She especially likes to blow them at strangers when we're out in public--I dont think anyone has taken it personally, as of yet.
One other notable (at least in my opinion) story from our weekend took place at church tonight. Our good friend (and Nascar fanatic) Brooke Avery, gave Norah a little Nascar matchbox car to play with during Foree's sermon. She was being so good---sitting quietly, chewing on her little car, when suddenly, she dropped the car. Now this wouldn't have been a big deal, except the car landed wheels-down on the sloped, slick auditorium floor. It took off. It raced down SEVEN rows of pews before someone picked it up! I was so embaressed! (I dont know if the embaressment was more from disrupting church, or the realization that everyone might mistaken Jason and me for geeky Nascar fans...just kidding, Brooke!) The icing on the cake (and the source of a lot of blushing) was when the guy who stopped the car passed it to the guy behind him, who passed it to the guy behind him, and so on, for SEVEN ROWS, until it made it back to us. Jason laughed hysterically for a few minutes, while I tried to contain myself...but I'm pretty sure the back quarter of the auditorium was all on to us. Oh well...I'm sure it wont be the last time we have an embaressing Norah tale.

Very, very funny! I think that story is great...at least she didn't start to shriek when she realized her car was rolling down the pews.
How fun! I'm sure you will have many more stories like this to come.
The class Andy and I are doing is the Family Dynamics class based on the book His Needs Her Needs. It is a wonderful class and I would recomend anyone taking it. Thanks for asking. It has been a lot of fun for us and something that has allowed us to grow together. Thanks for asking. Have a great day!
Awesome car story! I can just picture it rolling down hill! She is beautiful!
