five months

At 5 glorious months old Cora you are...

• rolling over tummy to back and back to tummy.
• you reach for everything...and sometimes you out-smart us and knock over our drinks, salsa bowls, and put things in your mouth you probably shouldn't.
• you just learned to walk/jump/move in your baby walker.
• you love to hear your name and certain key words...like mama or dada or toes.
• you have learned how to hold the bottle on your own
• toes are your favorite, holding them at all times.
• sleeping is getting easier... mostly through the night, naps, and without a swaddle!
• dogs are hilarious to you...especially cora-sized ones (grandma's dog) and white ones (Colby our yellow lab)
• standing is your favorite activity- it really always has been. you take steps towards toys when we hold your little hands.
• sometimes when dad makes a whimpering/crying sound or sings a sad tune you start to frown and begin to cry...you are a sympathetic soul. good thing we are happy parents.
• you had your first cold and your first days at daycare.
• you are a happy baby, still high maintenance.... but willing to smile at us being silly and we love that.
• we can't wait for you to be able to sit up on your own and crawl. But right now we see a lot of blanket swimming- arms flailing, while you try to figure out how to get somewhere. But once you do... we know it's going to be fast!
