Oops!

Okay, didn't I say I got my Happy Baby Back? Holy cow - she is all over the place! I love it though. She is doing wonderful. She is crawling everywhere...pulling up on what she can...waving bye bye...and the list goes on! We went camping last weekend at Bastrop and I suck - I didn't take one picture! I don't know what happened. Everyone else took pictures, so maybe someone will send me some and I can post them. Cora did pretty well. She took great naps, but didn't sleep as well at night. New place, not her bed... It got pretty cold, but we stayed warm and I am glad I threw in some long sleeve clothes and a jacket for her at the last minute. She had fun and it was great getting back into the camping groove again.

These are some pictures I snapped tonight while playing. This dress really brought out the blue in her eyes. You can really see it in the pictures.

Well we are letting her cry it out some at night. She is doing really well...and so are we. I have been able to stay in bed for most of the night and it is great. Daddy is still getting up with her some, but she is staying in the bed and that is a huge improvement for us! I am also trying to cut back on the use of the pacifier. I started it on a whim on Monday evening, so I haven't been with her for an entire day yet, so I am sure I will cave tomorrow - especially since we will be at a big family function all day. Her doctor told us at her 6 month check up that we needed to be rid of it by a year, so I figure I better start now. We are going to try to just have it at nap time and nighttime. She has done great every evening this week with only a couple meltdowns and we survived without giving in! The morning teacher at school gives it to her a lot, so they will have lots of adjusting...but the afternoon teacher couldn't find it, so maybe there won't be a problem after all! :-)

Sorry it has taken me so long to update...we are just trying to do our best to keep up with Cora. It is wearing us all out! My sister and her family (Laura & Daniel) are coming to town the end of next week. I am so excited to see the kids and for her to see Cora. Cora may learn some things from Daniel while he is here (he is about 7 months older).

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
