Week 50 - Feb. 8-14

YAY for 50 weeks!

Nova's hair is finally long enough for me to put it in a small, adorable pony tail.  I love it!  I think it makes her look like a little girl instead of a baby.

 "What's that you say, Mommy?"....

...."Do I have a bunny on my back?"

"I do!  Perfect for snuggling!"

"Just walkin' with my buddies after a long, well-deserved nap."

It's been especially cold lately.  Additionally I (Briggs) got a snow day!  So I got to be with Nova for an extra day this week.

These two are so cute together!  Here they are, playing the role of "feet" in Katie's piano performance. 

 No caption needed.  This is the BEST photo.

50 weeks!

Nova STATS:
We think that Nova went through a developmental stage last week, because she is much more aware and responsive.  She is especially more aware of how hilarious I am.  Up until this week, Nova's been a tough crowd.  She'd laugh maybe once or twice a week.  But now she giggles a few times a day.  Here are a few examples of things that made Nova crack up:

1.  We have a wooden box with toys along the side.  These toys can be pulled along a track.  Once at the top of the track, you can push them and they fall down to the bottom again.  I grab a stuffed animal and use it to bring them to the top of the track.  When she goes to push them down, I say "NOO!!!!" in a silly voice and use the stuffed animal to thwart her.  She laughed for minutes!

2. Playing peek-a-boo with hair in my face.  She couldn't stop laughing.

3. Shaking my head in such a way that my ears almost touched my shoulders.  Again, pure hilarity.
