Hello, Mia! Happy Valentine's Day, Grand Poobah!

This one is a little blurry, but it captures my dad's fascination with Cora all weekend. As Cora has started laughing at Grand Poobah's antics, it is as if she stuck out her little finger and he curled up around it...

A new hat for summertime (Cora is monogrammed across the top)

Mia has been wrapped around Cora's finger since birth! We think that we taught her to say "shoes" this weekend :)

Cora Stands (for a few seconds, and maybe her backside was resting against my chest)

 

Cora's 5 monthday

 Dear self: A couple of months ago I showed you your feet four your monthday. This month, I introduce you to your toes... and boy do they taste GOOD!

 Nummanumnumnum

 My big toe works very much like a pacifier.

 When my mom saw this, she said, "Well she's asking if we can skype Mia & Poopaw Jim!

 Good morning world! Cora Jane is here!

 Cora's first sippy cup of water. No doubt, most of the water ended up on her belly...

 Like father, like daughter.

A little this, a little that

 Landon teases that I am obsessed with the mail. On days when I work from home (and this was especially true before Cora was born) I walk out to get the mail as soon as the mailman drops it off. It cracked Landon up that Cora was lunging for the mail as I walked in with her from the mailbox.

 We gave her a little oatmeal one night, and she liked it. She didn't act like it was the best thing she had ever had (Mommy still wins!), but she was pleased. Then, she refused to nurse for the next 24 hours (Cora tried to win...), so we had to postpone oatmeal until next month (Mommy wins again!!).

 She gets so much love at the CofC basketbal games. This particular game was a white-out (notice that Cora was stylishly whited-out thanks to a package from Vicky Crow), and Cora got passed halfway down our row in the faculty section.
