Mama: What do babies do?
Nora: Cry (she says this with an adorable little cocked head and sad face)
M: What do they want when they cry?
N: Mumps...hold...mama papa hold...happy
M: So, when babies have mums and mama and papa hold them, babies are happy?
N: Yes. Mama papa hold baby Nora...happy.
It was by far her longest sentence yet and SO cute. I think she's going to be an amazing big sister. Speaking of which, little b has been kicking and flipping away in there lately. S/he especially likes to move around when I'm putting Nora to bed. I take this to mean either a) s/he likes my singing voice, b) s/he is trying to escape my singing, c) s/he is already trying to kick his/her sister, or d) it's the only time of the day that I sit still for long enough to feel the kicks consistently. Whatever the reason, it's cute and I can't wait to see Nora's reaction the first time she feels a kick to her side while nursing!
And, just because I can't post w/out any pictures, here are a few of Nora modeling our friend Sarah's hat at their apt in Cambridge:
This one looks so much like a little Chris! I'll have a find a comparison pic and scan it in.
And a video of Nora and her pal Jamie playing their favorite game (keep your ear out for Nora counting "one, two, three!" before running around the island to find Jamie):
