California Christmas

This year we went out to have Christmas with the Bergs out in CA. Once we got there (7 hours later than planned because of weather in the Midwest) we had a lot of fun visiting with everyone, not to mention the weather wasn't bad either. The whole family loved seeing and playing with Norah. It was so nice to see them on Christmas this year. We are definitely looking forward to our next visit.





Getting an early gift from her Godmother, Aunt Rachel.




Cute ice skate booties from Grandma and Grandpa.










Grandpa says he can now die a happy man because of these pictures.






Bloomer Christmas

Because we were going to be traveling to CA for Christmas, we had our own family's Christmas the weekend before we left. It was fun to watch Norah "unwrap" her presents. She actually did a pretty good job. We just had to get her started. She liked all of her gifts and we had fun getting them for her. Seeing her this Christmas gets us excited for ones to come.

The Jaeger Family is Growing

No I'm not pregnant. But we did add a new member to our family today. We got a puppy. His name is Cash, after Johnny Cash not money. He is a pure bred chocloate lab and he is 10.5 weeks old. We always knew we would get a puppy someday it just happened sooner than expected.

I'm going to post pictures from Christmas a little later.

Thanks Granny and Grandpa

Earlier this week Norah got to open a Christmas present from Great Granny and Great Grandpa Loucks (with a little help from Dad). She got a beautiful ornament. I must say the wrapping paper and ribbon were very fun. Norah played with it for a good half an hour after she opened her gift. Thank you Great Granny and Great Grandpa!!







Norah isn't crawling yet but we're getting closer. When she's in the kitchen on the smooth floor she pushes or slides herself backwards. She not very fast, but all of a sudden you realize "How did she get in the corner?"


I captured Norah doing her newest favorite thing to do. When you're talking or just looking at her, she tilts her head to the left and gives you a sweet look or just smiles at you. Sometimes she'll even do it over and over copying you when you do it. It's very fun to see.

A Good Day

You know it's a good Sunday afternoon when a dad can take a snuggle nap with his little girl on the couch.

7 Months Old

On the 10th Norah was officially 7 months old. She is growing and learning quickly. She's eating all sorts of solid foods, some mashed up and some not. She is sitting up by herself like a pro, but isn't quite scooting or crawling around. Seth and I are having lots of fun playing and snuggling with her.
