HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Ok, so I tried to capture a video of Nora doing her backwards scoot thing but she wouldn't perform for the camera. Here she is doing what she does best-rolling around! She prefers the hardwood floor to carpet, I think she just likes the squeaky sounds her hands make on it :)
*Thanks to Jayme & Nancy for supplying the cute outfit she's wearing!
good read
Thanks to Harlow's Monkey for bringing this article to my attention-"Did I Steal My Daughter?" by Elizabeth Larsen
It is posted on Mother Jones and it brought a whole lot of emotions to the surface.....

2 months
Yesterday was our 2 monthiversary...I can't believe we have been home for 2 months!
It seems like Nora has been here forever but at the same time the past 2 months have totally flown by. Wasn't it just yesterday we were anxiously waiting for our phone to ring?
Nora has already grown & changed so much in the past 2 months.
It seems like every morning she is bigger and has learned some new trick overnight-it's totally wild! She is now 16 lbs and 26 inches tall!

Everybody's workin' for the weekend
Well, I've decided to start working part-time.
Ryan's new job calls for some overnight travel (sometimes for up to a week) and I need to be able to be more flexible with my schedule. I will probably end up working just a teensy-bit less than I am now but I won't feel like I am stuck on set days. I will still do Saturdays or Sundays and I will still do some holidays. It was a really hard decision to make-I will lose 3 weeks paid vacation and I will have to fund my own continuing education to maintain my license but really, the more I thought about it, none of that is important.
Spending more time with Nora is important.
Yeah, we'll probably be broke and I'll have to cut back on my Venti Chai intake from Starbucks and my shoe obsession will have to be curtailed but I think...no, I know it will all be worth it.
In other news, our new washing machine arrived and my house no longer stinks of dirty cloth diapers!

Ryan's Dad & Step mom finally made the trek up to visit Nora.....and to watch the Bears game!
We had a great time except that I was tired and frazzled (see photo below) because our washing machine broke and my house was a disaster. I felt better after we opened the bottle of wine:)

Ryan made a great meal and Nora ended up eating almost an entire sweet potato-I can't believe how much this girl eats!!
