Sweetie

Daddy was taking pictures of Cora making faces. We took too many pictures...these get me through Sunday before Christmas! I'll try to post the rest later today. Have a wonderful weekend!

Cora and Uncle David

Babies...Babies...Babies

Here are the three new babies in the family for 2007. Cora is the oldest.
Cora with Nanno and Papa.
Cora with Uncle Kevin and Aunt Brenda.

Sitting Pretty

Some pictures of Cora in one of her gazillion Christmas dresses.
Cora was fascinated with one of her cousins, Gracie
Leave it to Cora to be the only one cooperating...I have trained her well!

Presents

Here are some pictures of her with her presents from Sunday before Christmas (Round 1)...



Kathy got a table and chairs for her house for both the grandkids...Cora loved it! Yes, Daddy was right beside her to catch her if she fell out of the chair, but she sat up great in it!Playing her new drums!

Hugging her new bear...

25 Weeks Old

Ok, so we really quit doing the weekly pictures...but did this one anyway. I have a lot to catch up on, so I am posting what I can...

Sweet Cora

Just a couple of pictures of my sweet girl. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Feet

She is getting more functional with her feet everyday. She will kick the swing tray up when she is ready to get out of it. We didn't used to snap it down, but now we have to...but she will pop it up when she wants.

She has been grabbing her feet for awhile now...she finally got it in her mouth! She has to concentrate pretty hard, but she gets it!

Rocking Rover

I got this singing dog from a white elephant gift exchange with friends. Cora loves her Rocking Rover. He barks Jingle Bells while rocking on his sled. She hasn't totally figured out how to turn him on by herself, but she accidentally does every now and then.

Sitting Up

She is getting so big!! She sits up on her own now and rarely falls over...usually when she is tired. She has been doing it for a few weeks now and just gets better and better each day. Still no rolling...but I have given up on pushing her on that. She will when she is ready, I guess.

Here's some pictures of her sitting in her bed...

She is just so cute!

Ok, so she does fall down...thank goodness for bumperpads!

Catching Up

Wow - I am already getting behind. I have lots to post...she is doing so much every day.

We went to visit The Mayfields and take their family pictures. Gavin is getting excited about his new little sister coming in May, so he shows a lot of interest in Cora. He's great with her.

Ok, so cereal wasn't going very well with her, so I thought I would try a veggie - Squash. She ate more of this than she ever did with cereal!

She is figuring out the exersaucer more and more...and gets pretty animated.

Santa Again...

We tried Santa again and she did better this time. She was in a better mood and we got there when they opened so Santa was fresh...I think part of her problem last time was that Santa was rather stinky! It was about 80 degrees the last time we went and he was outside.
Cora is doing really well. She is sitting up by herself and is falling over less and less. Still isn't rolling much, but I guess she doesn't feel the need to be mobile. We ceased all cereal for now. It was reeking havoc on her tummy or something. It was doing the exact opposite of what everyone says it does...she was waking up all through the night. We stopped the cereal and she is back to sleeping through for the most part.
She still is smiling like crazy all the time. She loves getting kisses from Mommy and Daddy. She is now learning to pull her socks off, too. That's about all I can think of this early in the morning...

Smiley Girl

I was playing with my new camera and she was smiling away for me! Hope everyone has a wonderful week.

Ho Ho Ho

We were getting into the Christmas spirit a little today!
Then she started making funny faces at me...


She instantly was in a good mood. She was smiling like crazy. Have a wonderful weekend!

Visit with Santa

Cora was less than thrilled with her visit with Santa Claus. She didn't cry, but she had one of those looks she gets from her Mommy that says 'What the hell?'. So, I will try again another day.

Sorry I haven't posted much this week - everytime I am actually online I am shopping! Have a great rest of the week.

5 Months Old

Can you believe it? Cora turned 5 months on Thursday. She is getting so active now - it is so much fun. She is laughing a lot now...she is easily amused. She is splashing more in the bathtub too.
Here's a picture of Daddy and Cora...
She has started to scoot in her bed. The other morning I found her wedged in the corner.
She is grabbing everything and putting it in her mouth! She loves this little toy and has learned how to spin it. It's really cute until she smacks herself in the face with it!
Have a wonderful weekend!
