Hurry Up and Dance

These are just a couple other pictures I snapped of Norah yesterday. She had found one of my bandannas and decided that since her bow fell out at nap time, she needed some other type of head ornament, so she slipped it on. It didn't exactly match her outfit, but she still managed to pull it off rather nicely, I thought. Of course, I am horribly partial.

Last week, she started answering "Whaaa?" (in a sing-song voice) if we call her name from the other side of the house (as she's saying "whaa?" she's also in-route to find whoever called for her). Of course, eventually we hope to work our way up to "Yes, sir" or "Yes Ma'am", but for now, it's just nice to hear her reply so that we know she's ok, and can track her down a little faster than searching room-by-room.



This second picture is of her playing with one of her favorites--a toy laptop that Grandpa Gilmore gave her for Christmas. The reason I took this picture was because Norah was doing my new favorite dance move (note the two fingers pointed up to the sky--now picture them moving alternately up and down, always pointing "up"). The laptop was playing "Old MacDonald" at the time, so she was cutting a rug. Another newly honed dance skill is the "spin around". Not sure where she picked this move up, but it's so funny to watch (she gets dizzy pretty fast).

One other funny thing that happened today--I called Norah to come eat lunch. She was very caught up in playing with her toys at the moment, so she was dragging her feet. I told her, "Hurry, hurry!" and she replied, "Hurry, hurry, hurry!" as her little legs just about took off without the rest of her body she was hurrying so fast. I guess she's got that word down.
