16 Weeks Old

 This last week has been a busy one for us - mostly for Henry. He is taking two classes outside of preschool right now. He returned to his drama class and also to basketball. He seems to really like both but I asked him if he was interested in taking more drama and he said no. He also has already decided to do soccer once basketball has ended. So if he maintains that he doesn't want to do another round of drama maybe we'll do swimming instead. On Saturday night his school had their Winter Social which was styled like a carnival with a magic show. Lots of fun! We also celebrated my birthday on three separate evenings so that was also lots of fun!

Nora's personality is really starting to develop. She is so smiley and happy most of the time but the other night Henry startled her twice in a row and she let him have it! She did her usual babbling but with a stern, almost angry tone. I also feel like she's paying even closer attention to me and responding to more things I am saying to her. I think she is starting to discern more words. I'm pretty sure she recognizes her name and today when I said "tickle" to her she scrunched up her neck and started to giggle before I even touched her. I tried it again and got the same response. She seems close to rolling over, but unfortunately she doesn't get that much time on the floor to practice. We are on the go a lot and then when we are home the floor isn't exactly the safest spot for her to be. But I'm not worried about it; her muscles are definitely well developed and the skill will come when it comes.
