Henry Reunion

Last weekend was the Henry family reunion in Steubenville, Ohio. Norah met lots of new family members and enjoyed time with her godmothers and grandparents. She especially enjoyed all of the food-- embracing her heritage and stuffing herself with pierogis and Di Carlo's pizza...

New Lid

Norah fell in love with Uncle David's dog hat last month in Mississippi. Friday, Norah got her very own magic barking dog hat in the mail! Wait till you see how good it looks on her...

Antietam

We took a little outing today to the Antietam Battlefield National Park. It was a great day...just a little stick collecting...


and hiking...


and watermelon as the reward...aaaahhhh.

Blocks and Slides

Here is a quick video (with the new camera!) of Norah getting creative with her blocks:

And, for those who haven't yet seen Norah's network television debut:

Doing the Deep South

Last week, we headed South to visit Nana in Birmingham before Cousin David's wedding in Oxford, Mississippi. Here is Norah in Nana's kitchen, eating her first graham cracker.

This week's highlights

Pool Party! Chilling with Arlo and Sophia in the backyard.


On our visit to the zoo this morning, we caught a rare glimpse of one of the orangutangs crossing above us on the ropes!



Who is more excited?

Summer travels, so far...

Here is Norah on the 4th of July. She had just woken up from a nap and realized that she can say Stella's name. Here she is calling "Lella!"
Woobie on the Bay.

In Florida at the end of June, checking out the baby tortoise we found.

I never thought I was overprotective until I saw my child in this outfit.

Happy Father's Day! Patrick gave Norah her first taste of ice cream.
