One more MONTH...

...until our sweet little girl is ONE YEAR old! That's right, next month we will have a one year old...where has the time gone? Cora has grown so much this past month. She is talking, talking, talking (well, really not talking but babbling a ton!). She still says mama, dada, nana and lots of words that she knows we just can't understand just yet. She can point to your ears, nose and mouth but little stinker has no interest in finding her own ears, nose and mouth. She is laughing with you and at you so much more...it just melts my heart. She loves to be chased around and laughs as she is crawling her little heart out! She has taken a step or two but really doesn't have much interest in walking alone.




 Cora loves playing outside. As soon as you say, lets go outside and get the mail, lets go outside and play, lets go for a walk, she knows exactly what you are saying and with her chubby cheeky smile we go outside and have a blast!
 Cora loves food - but it has to be on her own time. If she isn't hungry, then she just won't eat and will throw all her food off of her tray! She absolutely loves food with flavor! Spaghetti, mac n cheese, grilled cheese, pizza, chicken, all fruits and veggies and of course the Gerber crunchies - her FAVORITE!!
 This month we started swim lessons. We thought we would introduce Cora to water now since summer is hopefully right around the corner, but it is Michigan so who knows when summer is going to be here! At first she was a little shy and scared and now we can't pull her out of the pool. Cora has mastered the inchworm in the pool and it is adorable! I can already see Joel and I sitting on the sidelines of her high school swim meet.


 Aunt Megan, Aunt Jillian, Uncle Matt and Grandpa all participated in the Riverbank Run. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the greatest so Cora sported her team shirt indoors at the after party (aka: brunch with family).
 A lot of people have asked - can you really believe she is going to be ONE?? Yes I can, but am I having just a slight hard time that yes, she is going to be one...maybe just a little :) I can also say that we have been so truly blessed with this little lady and I'm really looking forward to seeing her personality continue to grow!!
