Sunshine!

We thrive off the few sunshiny days we get here in Oregon. My soul delights in the warm rays and my body is energized!

Today we went to my good friend Tasha and Sara's for a birthday treat. Tasha captured this moment between my sweet Cora and I.













Cora is so good at sitting up now! I'm a proud momma!






Even on the rainy days she is my sunshine!

Tasha and her family are getting ready to move to California for a year ling residency program. The kids were playing in the pod this afternoon.



Oh how I will miss Tasha and her family.

Stuck

Cora is in the moving stage... And she gets stuck often now.

I took these yesterday. I'm a mean mom I know but I had to capture the moment. She wasn't happy that I was standing there and not assisting her.




Her bumper is now back on that side :)





This one was my fault because I didn't buckle her in. How she got into the position, I'm not sure.

What a...

Mess!

Before I was a mom I never thought I would let my child do what I'm about to show you. Now that I am a mom, I embrace it. I realize that she is learning and growing with every mess and her clothes can wash or be replaced.

She might be even cuter with food all over her!

Sara

Sit up

Cora has learned to sit up with no support for more than a few seconds at a time.


















She is growing up way too fast for her momma but I love to see her learn new things! It is so much fun!

Sara

How do you sleep?

At 6 months Cora has decided to sleep on her tummy. I am a tummy sleeper through and through. The only thing I couldn't wait to do once I had her was sleep on my stomach! Oh I love it!





She also has found comfort in sleeping on her side.






For the most part she is still a back sleeper though.






Sara

A morning trip to the park!

Today was beautiful! We ventured out for a morning walk and stopped at the park to play. Cora loves to swing and this time we tried out the teeter totter as well. She is so fun and loves being outside so we relish in the days we get sun here in Oregon!

Sara

First solids!

Cora had her first solids today! Dr. Rachel said we could start them and if she liked them we could continue and if not we didn't need to push it until 6 months.

Well she liked it a lot once she got the hang of it!

Nana gave her a little bit of her lemon meringue yogurt and she loved that. No pictures unfortunately.

Then we gave her some squash. I couldn't get it into her mouth fast enough.



















Yum yum yum!

I look forward to the days of messy faces and stained bibs!

Giggly girl

The last week or so Cora has started giggling more and more! It is the cutest and provides us with lots of laughter!
