Newborn Photos!

We finally got our newborn photos back and we think they turned out pretty great!  Norah was 12 days old when we went to visit Photography by Karensa in their studio in Everett.  We were happy to use these wonderful shots in our birth announcements that you all should have received last week.  Here are the full size versions.  These have also been added to smugmug for print ordering if you're interested.

Visits

Peanut finally went to sleep today so this will be my quick blog catch-up post.  We have spent the last several weeks enjoying lots of time with family.  Norah has really liked visiting with everyone and is pretty amenable to being out and about and loves to be held by pretty much anybody.  She didn't even scream when Auntie Katie got her turn. ;-)  Good job, Norah! 

Here is the stats update - Peanut weighed in at 9lbs 6oz at our last visit and is growing fast!  She is currently up to about the 50th percentile for her age which is the highest she has been to date.  She is starting to outgrow the newborn clothes and we are finally getting a chance to use some of the wonderful outfits we got from Cousin Annika!  We are still working through our feeding issues and Mama is determined not to give up until all avenues have been explored.  We have many appointments this week that should help get us some more answers.  Norah has granted us lots of smiles and even one or two laughs.  She is starting to reach directly for things and grab them, albeit a little uncoordinated in her efforts.  She rolled over once on the scale at the Breastfeeding Center appointment and the nurse was a bit surprised.  We've seen her roll to one side but not make it all the way over just yet.     

Below are some shots of our holiday and other adventures since Mid-June.
