Boom.

Nora has learned to give The Rock (specifically, The Exploding Rock). This is one of her Daddy's proudest accomplishments.

The other day, Rich and I were discussing how advanced Nora seems to be in comparison with what the baby books say to expect. (Yes, we're proud parents. But our kid really is gifted.) I said, "Nora, you blow other babies out of the water." Nora waited for a count of three, lifted her fist into the air, and whispered "Boom" as she exploded the rock. She knows. Oh, she knows.
