Nora and Nora

Nora loves the zoo, and so do we. The zoo membership was a great investment. The four of us took her over the weekend and we had some really excellent views of the animals.

The much-beloved local polar bear name Nora even put on a good show for Nora. Another highlight was seeing the red panda actually awake and moving around for the first time ever.

Nora’s first bike ride

Nora rode on a bicycle for the first time recently!

At first she was sceptical of being on Mama’s bike like that but soon she fell in love with it. She held the handlebars and squealed with joy. Orion was reasonably content riding in my front luggage compartment.

Nora on a swing!

Nora absolutely loves the swings at our neighborhood park.

Nancy and I each took turns pushing her. She was cackling with glee absolutely the entire time. When we went to start heading home, she loudly voiced her disapproval, pulled me towards the swing, and said “more”. This is currently her favorite word.
