May 2020!!!

May has been an exciting month. Nora arrived at 1:21 pm on May 11th after being induced. Ben got to spend some time with some friends while we were in the hospital for Nora's delivery (THANK YOU JENNIFER AND IGOR!!!). He was very excited to meet Miss Nora - he and Craig picked us up from the hospital on May 12th, so he got to ride home beside her in the back seat (which he was very excited about :) ).

Ben has really enjoyed using our digital camera this month and sometimes takes some interesting pictures (see "car stack" below :). His hair got out of control (he kept having to push it out of his eyes), so I finally broke down and gave him a haircut. Although he looks displeased in his picture below, he actually really liked it and spent some time admiring himself in the mirror. Ben is adjusting to being a big brother really well, although he did ask one day if she could go back in my belly (NOPE, lol).

Nora has been a great baby so far - she's eating well and sleeping between 1-3 hours at a time. She was already trying to roll over in the hospital and is great at holding her head up for a few seconds at a time. She also seems to have really strong legs - she can scoot herself up Craig's chest during tummy time.
