Nora

Leonora is four days old now, and has been home since Tuesday afternoon. So far, she's been a pretty easy newborn, and Benjamin and Peter have been adjusting better than expected.
We've been debating what her nickname should be. We named her Leonora (pronounced "Leah-Nora") with the intention of shortening it, since it is a mouthful. We love the name, mostly because the person she's named after is part of both of our family histories though not a blood relative of either of us. Anyways, it's an interesting intersect between our lines and a name that we've both come to love. And having gotten to know our own little Leonora over the past few days, we've decided that she makes a great "Nora."
Three-day-old Nora in her bouncer. I'll try to do fairly regular age progression shots in this to track her growth.
I'm certainly not used to having such a tiny baby! All of her features are a lot more delicate than either of my boys were. Today at the pediatrician, she weighed in at 6 lbs. 15 oz., about 6 oz. lighter than she was at birth. Here Benjamin is showing me how "long" he is next to his baby sister.
A couple of shots of her with her eyes open.
Nora seems to be a good mix. She doesn't look strongly like one side or the other.

I took this the other morning. The boys were both fawning over her, and I just thought it was a sweet moment.
