More fun with Cora Leigh

Cora Leigh is continuing to be more and more active and interactive. She has really started enjoying her jumperoo, although we still have to put a book underneath her. She can barely reach the floor with her tip toes now, so it probably won't be long until she's able to jump from the floor. She loves to spin the rattle thing on the front and grab the vegetables from their strings and knock them off. At the bottom of this blog entry is a video of Daddy acting silly with her while she was in her jumperoo. They were having a blast!

We also watch Joshua for Andy and Dana last weekend. I referred to him as Cora's boyfriend, but her daddy already doesn't appreciate that kind of talk very much. :) We had a really fun evening. Joshua just turned one year old, so he was walking around and seeing what he could get into! He was really interested in the cats until one of them started walking toward him. Poor guy must have thought that kitty was trying to attack! As the evening progressed, he warmed up more to the cats, but he and Hazel never really made friends. I think she was too big for him - their dog is much smaller. Joshua really made our babysitting experience easy. He was such a good boy!

Cora Leigh is still doing well. We're starting to actually settle into somewhat of a schedule!! Most days we have cut back to 5 feedings, so she's going between 3 and 3 1/2 hours between feedings. That has been a nice change - much more time to get things done before time to nurse again. We actually ran some errands and went shopping just the two of us yesterday. That's the first time we've gone shopping without some help other than the occasional short trip to the grocery store! Cora did so well. She was awake the whole time and never got fussy. She did talk a lot, rather loudly. She was attracting a lot of attention! :)

Here are some pictures from the last week.

Joshua was checking out Jeremy's book on UT Football - I promise he found it on his own and started trying to get it out! We thought this was pretty funny since he comes from a family of UK fans. ;)


Joshua playing with Cora's rattle. We don't have too many masculine toys...


Saying hello to Lucas! It was really funny, Joshua was playing with the surround sound remote control and laid it in the cat bed with Lucas. What a nice guy, sharing his toys!


Cora Leigh is still loving her feet!




She somehow managed to get her foot stuck in the toy. She has done it again since.


I think Cora is ready for her cake!!
