Oh, Baby :)

+Welcome to the best part of my day.

+Silly Sleeper

Nova is hilarious when she's sleeping. She likes to stretch out, ROLL onto her belly (this is a very routine thing now), burrow burrow burrow into a shoulder or an arm, and talk in her sleep.

(burrowed)

And a vid: 
(This is a multi-purpose video. Witness the wee babe chatting in her sleep - but also, her attempts to roll onto her tum while in her monkey seat.)
Monkey, you've been great to us, and Nova loved you. But it's official - she's outgrown you.

+Tech baby

Our little Nov is fascinated by any screen - TV, phone, IPad - and we do NOT plan to make tv a habit by any means. But it's pretty hilarious to see her watch it so intently. Every so often, we turn on a little Spongebob.

She also loves to look at the tigers, pandas, and elephants on our World Wildlife Foundation app.

What an amazing and beautiful app - we highly recommend it! 

+More Chitchat
GG Jean visited and had a very serious conversation with Nova.

+Notice a theme?

Here's a series of Nova photos - with a few tossed in to throw you off. What's happening here??

If you guessed that Nova is 
+Teething
you were correct.

Poor baby! She likes to chew on a cold wet washcloth. It's SO sad to see her hurting. The good news? It only seems to really bother her when she's tired. Luckily she can be easily distracted most of the time. :)

Love from Nova's world!

Psst! Here's a little sneak peek of things to come in the next few weeks:

+Nova's doc appt! New stats :)

+Nova's first wedding!

+Daddy Drew's week off!

+And more, more, more.
