Sick + Thursdays with Nora's (32 weeks)

I'm behind yet again. The last few weeks/weekends were busy. And we have all been sick again. This is Nora's fourth cold (I think) in her seven months. Nora started getting snotty Sunday. Then Maya, Derek and I quickly followed. It's not been too bad, other than Maya's breathing issues. She really scared me yesterday. I put her down for her nap and her breathing was fine. She woke up and was really upset and she couldn't stop coughing and gasping. I got her nebulizer, but it didn't seem to help. I called Derek and was about to load everyone up for urgent care when she finally calmed down and fell back asleep. When she woke up later she was still really upset and I was again close taking her in. After another dose of albuterol, she finally seemed to be doing better. It was scary for me and for her too I think. Usually she's what her pediatrician calls a happy wheezer. Not this time though. Nora seems to be handling her cold well, other than not wanting to nap at all or just wanting to nap on me.

Nora is 32 weeks (I think, if I can count correctly, but really I don't guarantee that these days)
Everyone is on the mend and happier today.

Nora is crawling everywhere, pulling up on everything and she really wants to walk. If the front or back door is left open she tries to escape. She also thinks the bathroom is the best room in the house. She started "clapping" on Sunday. I haven't been able to get it on video. In other exciting news, she also took a few bites of food, sweet potatoes over the weekend and then carrots on Monday. She opened her mouth, let me put the spoon with food on it in, and didn't gag (excessively at least). 

Notice Nora's teeth

Maya, let me take your picture. Ok, first let me hold these leaves in front of my face so you can't see me

Ooh. Let me see
