We're Back

Happy New Year! We are home. It's great to be back, but we miss everyone terribly. A few things of note:

1. Norah has a terrible cold. She is full of snot and it is soooooo gross.

2. She totally crawled this morning! She teased us the entire time we were in Austin and then this afternoon BVZ and I were lowering the mattress in her crib and she made a move for a toy on the floor. We are very quickly realizing that nice new house in Austin is great for baby to get her groove on (nice plush carpeting, plenty of room to roam around), but older bay area house isn't so great. Hardwood floors (even those with area rugs), are really hard. Plus, it only takes looking away for a few seconds to find her on the other side of the room from where we've left her. We haven't been home more than about 4 hours and Norah has already conked her head a handful of times on the floor, the coffee table, and the side of her crib.

3. We took public transportation home from the airport today and apparently Norah stared at some lady the whole time. Said lady made a point of commenting to us that Norah had been staring at her for like 15 minutes straight. We couldn't tell if she was impressed at her focus or afraid she was possessed.
