New Car Seat!

Norah is growing like a weed, and has outgrown her infant carrier car seat.  I can't believe she has grown so much and is already 9 months old now.  We had planned to get a new car seat after we returned from our MI/LA trip, and I guess that worked out for us since Delta broke our infant carrier on our flight from DTW to AEX.  Also, there was no changing table on that flight either!  Bad day for us and flying.  Anyway, we got the Britax Pavillion after much research and checking some seats out at Buy Buy Baby.  We've had the seat installed now for a week and are pretty happy with it.  One, it was super easy to install (rearfacing), and Norah seems comfortable in it.  It's much roomier than her infant seat.  The seat is huge though!!  See the pics below.

Meeting Lots of Family!

Our recent travels took us to Michigan and Louisiana where Norah got to meet several family members.  The first leg of our trip took us to Michigan for Abby and Adam's wedding.  Along with the wedding we visited Rick's old boarding school, Cranbrook Kingswood, and also visited with some friends in Ann Arbor.  Norah got to meet aunts, uncles, and cousins!  After the wedding weekend we flew down to Louisiana to visit Rick's family.  Auntie Janina also came down from Napa so we got to visit with her and Norah met her only Great-Grandma down in Louisiana too.  Here are some of the pics of Norah hanging with the fam!

September Pictures

Though this post is late, here are some pics from September of Norah.  This was when she was still trying to crawl so she was doing a lot of downward dog yoga.  She still had pretty spiky hair in September, but it is getting longer and flattening out now.
