When we got home Sunday, we played hard since she was stuck in the car seat all morning. Well playing hard can build up an appetite. I tried cereal again and she actually opened her mouth as the spoon approached. She did a little better, but still pushes half of it out with her tongue. She gets it everywhere, but it is cute...
She found her upper lip on Sunday evening. She was doing this all evening and they said she did it all day Monday at school. Pretty funny.
She did this on her own (rolled from back to tummy), but her right arm stopped her from rolling all the way over. I want her to roll so she can sleep on her belly safer!
She is sitting up better each day. The other night we put her in her bouncy seat and she sat forward in it. She didn't want to lean back. She does that when you hold her too - she doesn't want to lay back...she wants to see what's going on!
Uncle Dennis and Aunt Sheila fought over Cora. Here is where Sheila stole her from Dennis....it was quite entertaining.
Scott holding Cora...he didn't want to get stuck with her so he passed her off before she fell asleep on him.
Napping on Sheila...
Dennis and I didn't ever hold Cora much...she was passed back and forth all weekend.
Sitting pretty before church. It was pretty cold and nasty outside and Cora was already a little sick so we opted for the pants outfit with the cute hat.
Ok, so these were taken at 4:30 in the morning...she wasn't up for smiles just yet. I had to get my weekly picture taken though. We were leaving for Dallas and decided to go after she ate, so she would sleep most of the trip. It worked, she did great all the way up there.
Grandpa and three of his girls...
Sydney and Cora.
Thankful for Mommy...
Just wanted to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday. We have been so fortunate this year and have so much to be thankful for. It is hard to believe that last year at this time Dennis and I were getting so excited because we were finally going to tell everyone our little secret. Well I can't believe our little secret is going to be 5 months old next week. Now we are excited about all of Cora's firsts - it is making the holidays that much more special.
Cora plays peek-a-boo all by herself! Ok, so she doesn't really know it. She is really grabbing things a lot and she loves to hang on to her burp cloths. For some reason she likes to cover her face with it. I was messing with her yesterday while she was doing it in her swing. 
My little ham is 20 weeks old! My how time flies. We are having a girls weekend this weekend. Daddy's hunting. We shopped (see Daddy you shouldn't leave us alone!), then play date with my friend Kara and her youngest Peyton. They did so well. Okay, so as if they could be bad at this age. Cora loves little kids and babies, she had fun watching her three girls. I also got confirmation that my Cora is a chunk. Sweet little Peyton is 3 1/2 months older than Cora. Cora is a little bit bigger than Peyton. But in all fairness...Peyton was smaller at birth too. Peyton was sitting up so well...I can't wait until Cora can sit up! She is close...but just not there.
Cora has started to grab her feet. I was so excited when she first did it, that she waits for my reaction when she grabs them now. I love it. I am sure they will be in her mouth soon enough!
Daddy was helping out and gave her a bath. I thought this was a classic look on her face and I actually captured it! It was pretty funny. I can see her in about 5 years telling Daddy 'but that's not how Mommy does it...' I can't wait to see how he explains that is it okay for Mommy & Daddy to do things differently.
I cleaned out her closet last night and found a few dresses that were borderline fitting, so we played dress-up to see for sure. This one was too small, but since I got it on her I figured I would take a picture.
Ok, so we got it at the end of September...sharing Cora pictures is way more important than this! :-) It's nice and I like it. My favorite part is the remote start up...and the radio controls on the steering wheel. Here's a few more...
