15 weeks, 2 years, 3 years, 8 years...just rolling along

Weird title, I know.  Once you read more, you will understand.

So Cora is 15 weeks old as of Thursday, February 9th.  She is growing like crazy and has developed quite an interesting personality.  She loves when people talk to her.  She will smile, laugh, and then talk back to you.  The lion hanging from her carseat gets an earful everyday lol.  She is so much fun!

She had her 3 month check up and weighed 13 lbs 6 oz (75th percentile) and was 25 inches long (95 percentile).  She is perfect in every way (no really her pediatrician said so :) ).  Cora was showing off and showed Dr. Howell how she likes to stand and pull herself up.  Dr. Howell said that Cora is doing things that a 6 month old does.  Also, Dr. Howell did confirm that Cora is teething.  As I hear, that's when the fun really begins lol.

As for the 2 years, the 8th was my 2 year anniversary at work.  I love my job and have the most amazing boss.  He apparently loves me too, because he gave me a raise!  For those of you who don't know, he lets me set my own schedule as long as get all my work done, he doesn't care.  Which is great since traffic is horrendous with the bridge closure.  He encourages me to spend as much time with Cora as possible and always asks about her.

3 years ago on February 7th, I finally roped Paul into marrying me.   So in August of this year we will have been together a total of 8 years.  If you know us, Paul is kind of quiet (well until you get to know him) and I'm the big mouth (and yes, I'm proud of that). 

Finally, "just rolling along"...Cora has started rolling over!  Right now she only realizes that she can go to the right but that doesn't stop her.  She just keeps rolling along. 

For some reason it won't let me post the video...I'll keep trying though. 

Sloppy kisses from Cora!

3 months

On January 27th, my baby girl turned 3 months old! Wow, it's hard to believe that Baby Cora is already 3 months.   So mommy decided to hit up a local photographer that her coworker had been telling her about.  She was awesome!!  We had so much fun and the pictures turned out amazing!  So, I won't keep you waiting.  The following are a few of the ones that I love!  There are tons to choose from and I had a hard time narrowing it down.  Enjoy! 

Ribbons, Glitter, and Bling....oh lord

Most of you reading this reading know that I'm a tomboy...always have been...so that title is scary!  I mean I was the one to go play in the mud after mom puts a dress on me at 2, I played every sport I could (or that school had), and I only wore a dress on a very very special occasion. 

So here I sit at my crafting table, surrounded by hot pink, lime green, a variety of ribbons, a hot glue gun at the ready, puffy paint, hair bow clips and numerous instruction manuals!  Look out!!

Needless to say, if you don't hear from me for awhile.......... come rescue me!

On to other news...

Cora is 12 weeks 1 day old!  She's growing like a weed, loves to giggle, loves to be spoken too, loves to cuddle, has found her tongue so she slobbers like crazy, and likes to move like crazy.  She loves bath time and will kick her feet a mile a minute in the tub.  I can't wait until summer so she can swim in the pool! 

She loves her play mats (Thanks Papaw Lee and Audra!)  She has just started playing her jumper toys (thanks Karlie and Grandma Sandy).  She gets so close to rolling over but then stops.  She goes nonstop.  Legs are always kicking, hands are always flying lol. 

It's hilarious how she acts when she is hungry.  She snorts, and pulls both hands in together, then up to her mouth....you'd have to see it lol.  Too cute!

11 weeks

Boy time sure does fly when you are having fun!

So to get you caught up, Cora is growing like crazy.  Her favorite thing (other than food) is to stick her tongue out, open mouth smiles, and giggles.  At her two month check up she was 11 lbs. 12 ozs. and 23 1/2 inches long. 

She currently goes to a new babysitter and we love her!  Heather watches Lily and Macy, so Cora gets lots of loving and Heather gets lot of help lol :).  I still work at the same law firm but only work part time now.  Paul loves his new job as a Clark County Probation Officer.  I love having a "normal" family life lol.  Paul actually gets to be home in the evenings so we can all sit down to dinner together, we can go places on the weekend, and he gets holidays off without burning leave time.  It's been great! 

You want to know where the pictures are, right?  Mom and Dad bought us a new awesome camera for Christmas, so enjoy lol!

There are also a ton on my facebook page and my phone.

First day back and Christmas Photos

So yesterday was my first day back to work.  I wasn't nervous about leaving Cora because my Mom was watching her for the day.  So Cora had Grammy time and I had a break, if you can call it that.  I was so busy at work setting up my new computer and desk area that the day really flew past.  I work 2 1/2 days a week or 20 hours. 

So I go back on Wednesday and Grandpa Dennis is watching here until Christmas while I work.  Then after that who knows lol. 

One Month Check up and picture fun

Cora had her one month check up on the 29th. She weighs 9 lbs 3 ozs. and is 22 inches long.  Her head is 14.5 inches which is perfect.  The doctor said she looks perfect, has great skin, and her coloring is awesome!  So happy for good news!  Then she got her 2nd hep b shot. She screamed, I didn't have time to cry but I was close.  They told me at her 2 month she will get two shots and some syrup stuff in her mouth...I think I'll need some alcohol for that visit lol. 

Cora and I were goofing off the other day and took some pictures here at home...I will warn you there is nudity involved! :) As far as our Christmas/family/Cora's one month photos, I'll post those later!

If you look close enough, you can see Huck's paws.  He wanted to be in the picture too!

Full belly!

A month...

Wow as of November 27th, Cora is a month old.  We have started a shedule but every day, she changes it lol.  It's great to finally get in the swing of things. 

Thanksgiving was fun. We had 4.  We went to Grandma Lenfert's in Clarksville which Cora slept through.  Then to Aunt Donna and Uncle Scott's in Borden where she got to meet her cousins Kelsey and Mercedes (and numerous others) whom she will be chasing around next year lol.  Then we went to Kathy and Dennis' in Sellersburg and she got to meet so many people. 

Today is Cora's one month check up.  I'll check back in later and share some more pictures!!
