It's been a while!

A dance of apology:

Two non-contrasting pieces

There are advantages to one's mama working at a children's theater. Stage, costumes, space to try out new material...

45 Seconds with Nora, episode 4

The final episode in which we identify and honor the competition:

45 Seconds with Nora, episode 3

45 Seconds with Nora, episode 2

45 Seconds with Nora, episode 1

Ukelele madness: behind the music

Like Hall & Oats and Simon and Garfunkel, we started out as a plucky duo...


(complete with Abbey Road Side 1 ending!)

...but ultimately, Nora branched off into a red-hot solo career:

Mysteries of the Universe!*

What IS a packa??

And what DID Nora discover?!

 

This post is mainly to say that there are some choice 2nd birthday and Christmas items on their way to Uploadsville soon.

*And also to confirm the obvious fact that we've been watching a lot of Lost.

[delayed post from 1/7/10. Still worth the pix/vids, though, I think. And yes, we know we still owe you the birthday/Christmas photos...]

More Dancing

This is my best attempt so far...but of course she figured out what was going on when she turned around to ask "Mama dance, too?"

This kid likes to dance. In fact, when we were attempting to leave David and Jen's wedding--when every one else was out cutting a rug--Nora pulled away from the door and ran to the dance floor exclaiming "Nooooo! Shimmy, shimmy, shimmy!"

And here's why:



Technically, I should have gotten permission from "Awesome" to publish unreleased material, but...there you go.

When is a door not a door?*

Does that title have anything to do with this post? Who can say?

The following video was taken by David Nixon in the back of our building (during a lovely impromptu barbecue with the newlyweds) for Vital 5's Arbitrary Art Grant in Dance...which is why Nora's styling moves are accompanied by gunfire.



Hurry! Get your entry in by midnight tonight!

*When it's ajar.

Movie Tuesday!

I warn you, this video is pretty boring and you probably shouldn't watch it unless you like cute babies or have more important things to do first.

Want to see more boring videos of the baby? Well, it's your broadband, I suppose.

But trust me, they're pretty boring.
We're talking tie score in the 4th quarter of the Hum-Drum Nod-offs: Naptime in overtime.

Yup, nothing but a cute baby and silly commentary by me and uncle Ian (thanks to his trusty cameraphone, in certain cases).

Welcome to Yawntown. Population: Baby.

Boh.
Ring.

One week old!

To celebrate her first week of being a baby today, Nora shows off her diaper-kicking skills with a paparazzi beatdown that makes Sean Penn look like Rosie O'Donnell.
Or maybe Chris O'Donnell.
Chris Penn?
No, Sean Penn - there we go. It all comes back around like a roundhouse kick.
Baby booya!
