Hello from the Vitale Family of Four!

All is well in the Vitale household. We are settling in nicely and enjoying the new addition to our family. Nora is awesome. She is very content and a great sleeper…just like her Daddy! She seems immune to the noise level in the house with a toddler and sleeps through the Gavin storm on a regular basis. I guess she got use to Gavin noise while in utero. Either way, they are getting along fabulously! Gavin wasn't too sure about her at first but he seems to be pretty use to having her around now and wants to know what she is up to, where she is and is very concerned when she cries. I think that he is getting use to the idea that she can't talk yet.

Tickling is a form of affection in the Vitale household and my heart swelled with pride for my little guy that the first day home from the hospital, he made sure to tickle her belly. He makes a noise when he wants to be tickled, "Ticka, Ticka", and is now saying that while he tickles her belly. It is too cute. He is also playing the body parts ID game. He likes to point to her eyes, ears, nose, belly, and toes.

Gavin and Nora are also sharing a few items in the household. Nora brought Gavin a small monster truck when she came home from the hospital to give it to Gavin. He loved it of course but ever since has been sharing Grave Digger (aka Digger) with her on a regular basis. It is so cute when he sets the truck on her belly for her to play with it.

There are of course a ton of pictures of my daughter already! Surprise, surprise, right. Here are my 2 favorites!
