Dancing Queen and 18 month check up

Today I went to the doctor for my 18 month check up. I weighed 22.11 lbs and was 33inches tall. I had to get 2 shots in my arms! But now I'm done with my shots (except flu shots) until I am 4 years old!!! Here are some pictures of what I have been up to lately:


Mommy and Daddy thought I looked too cute sleeping


Somehow I managed to squeese INSIDE the drum!

And finally what you've all been waiting for - my dancing debut:

What a mess!

Yesterday while Mommy was cutting up some fruit, I went into the pantry and got the box of rice krispies. I was eating them out of the box for a little while then realized there was something much more fun to do with rice krispies - dump them on the floor. Then I could kick around in them stomp on them and make a huge mess! It was lots of fun (well maybe not for mom who had to clean them up)!

What does a cow say?

Here are a couple of videos of Nora talking. Sorry they are a little dark...





In this one she is saying "I like it"

Painted Toast

Mommy has decided to try to come up with an activity for us to do everyday so we don't just sit around and watch Noggin. Today we made painted toast. It was fun and I got to eat it - yay! It came from the book - The Toddler's Busy Book if anyone is interested.

First you mix a little milk with a few drops of food coloring:


Then using a paintbrush you draw designs on bread. After you draw you just put in the toaster, butter and eat it. Mommy drew me a kitty and helped me make the dots on another piece of bread:


Here I am eating the kitty painted toast (I already started eating before mom got the camera so there is no picture):

Little Princess

Mommy and I went shopping today and she got me this awesome tiara. I wore it all evening. The pictures aren't really that good because I was watching my favorite show - Yo Gabba Gabba (anyone else watch this?). I'm generally not willing to be still to have my picture taken so that is why I'm not able to post that often. Mommy says we will try to be better!

Swimming Lessons

I have now had 2 swimming lessons and have hated both of them. They made Mommy dunk me under the water and it scared me so bad I wouldn't stop crying for the whole lesson. I didn't even like playing in the kiddie pool! The lessons are everyday for 2 weeks so hopefully I get better by the end! Here are a couple of pictures of me in one of my bathing suits:





And just for fun here a video of the dog and cat wrestling. Surprisingly they do this all the time and the cat seems to like it!

Happy July 4th!

I still have a little bit of a black eye, but it is slowly getting better. Yesterday Mommy and I made Rice Krispie Treats in the shape of stars. Mommy let me decorate them with mini m&ms and sprinkles - it was fun (and yummy)! Today we grilled steaks and just hung out at the house. Mommy put me in my super cute sailor dress:
