The Honeymoon ended abruptly

So this is how the majority of the past several days have been.  Man, if we didn't have a sense of humor, I don't know what we would do.  
I think we got spoiled our first 2 weeks, everything was fairly smooth, sweet and simple.  Yea, well, that's over.  No more waking once a night, now it's once every hour or two if we're lucky.  She must be going through a growth spurt.





Oops, I cut off Ralph's head.  You get the picture though.  Nora is vigorously trying to feed on Ralph's forearm.  She gave herself a hickey on her own arm the other day sucking on it.  I swear people, I do feed her. 














This was in the middle of the night last night.  With the advice of our friends Marty and Kristen we starting using my exercise ball to bounce her on.  She loves it.  You've got to bounce like you mean it though, she doesn't stand for any whimpy little, gentle bounces.  Usually she'll get quiet right away, then she'll get wide eyed like she's really paying attention, then she'll drop off to sleep, wha la!!  It is tiring for the bouncee.  Ralph's got better endurance for it than me right now.  I'll have to start training more.
