Life with Cora June

We sure love our little Cora. She sure has shook things up over here. She loves to be held. She is so wiggly all the time. When she lays on your chest she will wiggle and dig until her face is on your skin. Her little smile is so adorable. Or as Parker would say "acorable." Her chubby cheeks and squishy fat rolls have us all heart eyed. She is a little firecracker. She loves to be held and lets us know when she is upset. She is super strong and already holds her head up for long stretches. She is super alert and loves to watch her crazy big brother. Little rebel is already breaking rules and sleeps on her belly.

Cora June you keep us on our toes and we love you more everyday.  You are exactly what our family needed. You have wild hair and curious eyes. You look grumpy when you first wake up and you smile super big when we talk to you. I love it… I love every little thing about you. 

Better Late Than Never… Halloween 2015

The day before Halloween Parker's office had desk to desk trick or treating. Jack went as a minion and Cora went as Parker. She looks so much like her dad she just needed a beard! Jack loved running around with all of the other kids in costume. And we got to eat lunch with dad which was pretty awesome! 

I loved having Halloween be on a Saturday! That morning we painted and carved pumpkins. 

For trick or treating Jack was Daxter. We found a Scooby Doo costume, but Jack just thought he was Dax. It was incredibly cute watching him play with Daxter in his costume. I tried to get pictures but they were all blurry go figure. It was kind of chilly out so we put Cora in warm puppy pajamas and threw some puppy ears on her headband. Next year we will get her a real costume! 

Holidays are better with kids, especially Halloween. 

Rawr means I love you in Dinosaur

For three weeks Jack has pretty much ignored Cora. There have been small moments, when he thought no one was watching, where he has shown slight interest. He would touch her toes, or gently pat her head. But..... yesterday out of nowhere he wanted to play with her. He even shared one of his favorite dinosaurs with her. Which is a huge deal. He doesn't like to share his dinosaurs with anyone. I might be getting ahead of myself but here is to hoping he plays with her more and more! Because seeing my two kids together melts my mama heart.
These pictures capture how life is right now pretty perfectly. We wear pajamas for most of the day and play on the floor making a mess of toys, crayons, baby stuff and m&ms.

 

3 Weeks In

And I love being her mama.

I absolutely love having a daughter. My night owl, my sunshine sleeper. She has us wrapped around her long fingers. Her wild hair is growing so fast. You would not believe the funny grunts that come from her pretty little lips and tiny little nose. She loves to be outside. She thinks she needs to be held at all times. She adores watching her big brother. 

We have never been so happy, or so tired. It has been a wonderful three weeks.

So much Cora

Happy Due Date to my baby girl! 

I have taken about a million pictures of Cora already. I can't help myself. She is so gorgeous and I am pretty sure she gets better looking everyday. Her little lips. Her crazy hair that sticks straight up no matter what we do. Her little toes and little nose. I am so smitten. Here are some of  my favorites…..

This is her game face, and maybe the best picture ever.
