I’ll admit, as excited as I was to welcome a new baby into our home, there was a lingering sense of apprehension about how Dakota would adapt to the transition. (She’s never been much for sharing her time with mama!)

It’s certainly been a transitional time for our family but Dakota is adjusting like a champ. She adores her new little Nora (or “Nora Noory” as she has so affectionately nicknamed her) and is often eager to help with the new baby. All those doting kisses and sweet cuddles are completely heart melting.
