17 lbs!!!

We had a great weekend - my Dad and brothers (and Kosar the dog) came for a visit, which was wonderful. Nora loved catching up with them. I think it's safe to say they're all smitten. :) I think it's also safe to say our Nora is working on some teeth. She chews (hard!) on anything she can get her hands on and is drooling more than normal. Watch out food!

On Monday Nora walked in her first St. Patrick's Day Parade downtown! She was wonderful and enjoyed seeing the marching bands and the big Newfoundland dogs that were walking by us. Pictures to come...

Today Nora and I went to the pediatrician's and she weighed in at a whopping 17 lbs (26 1/4 inches long)! She'll be 5 months old this weekend. I can't believe how fast she's growing. I really like her Dr. - we talked about nursing and sleeping and starting solid foods (Nora can't wait but I'm hoping to hold out until she's 6 months). She's (the Dr.) a really down to earth woman who is very supportive of the many "untraditional" parenting decisions we've made (homebirth, co-sleeping, postponing vaccinations, etc.). She agreed that our girl is healthy and as cute as ever!

Here are pics from the weekend:
