Norah's 6 month stats at her appointment on December 16th:
Weight= 17 lbs
Length= 26 in.
She is hitting her milestones beautifully. She can sit unassisted, has two little bottom teeth, enjoys carrots and green beans. During the week of her appointment, we discovered that she can stand holding on to a table. Such a big girl!
Christmas was spent in the usual form- splitting time between the Hallemeiers in St. Louis and the McIntyres (Brad's mom's family) in Paducah, Ky.
The journey began on Tues. We left Atlanta around lunch time and drove to Paducah. We met our friends Janine and Josh for a quick dinner so they could see Miss Norah. Little did we know they had some exciting news of their own- they are expecting a baby in July! We are so excited for them!
The journey continued to St. Louis, where we stayed thorough Christmas night. If you remember in my entry from last year at this time, I was so excited to experience Christmas with a renewed sense of joy. While she is still too young to know what is going on, she had a blast with the tissue and wrapping papers.
We were pleasantly surprised by the SNOW we received in Christmas morning- I could not have asked for a more fitting way to spend the day- cozy by the tree with my family.
Arriving in Paducah late Friday night, we enjoyed a night of sleep, followed by McIntyre family Christmas on Saturday. Norah was able to meed many great aunts, uncles and cousins, some of whom for the first time.
We left to return to Atlanta on Sunday. All in all, it was a great, albeit short, trip. Norah was happy to be back in her own bed, as were mom and dad.

Merry Christmas and Happy 2010, McDonalds! The pictures of Norah are just adorable and I can't believe how big she's getting!
We're heading back across the pond on Friday for an undisclosed amount of time, but we hope you guys are doing well and I can't wait to meet Miss Norah sometime soon. In the meantime, I'll keep an eye on your blog.
Hey Julie -
I don't know if you'll remember me. It's been quite some time. Allow me to jog your memory - you and I shared a traumatic few minutes in your vehicle with an extremely large beatle on the way from Hickman to Murray once. Ha! Anyhow - Janine has kept me up to date on Norah and I hear she is a wonderful baby. She is precious! Happy New Year!
YAY! SNOW on Christmas morn! :) I love love love that we are on your way to St. Louis...I wish you were on our way to Texas! We'd see each other so much more often!
