My little Kewpie Doll
I've been told many times that Cora looks like a little Kewpie doll. What do you think?
Although I don't think Kewpie had such a scowl.

Blazers vs. Hornets
We have blazer game ticket connections so for my last two birthdays we have gone to a game.
This year my mom watched Cora so that Spence and I could have a fun time together.
It was seriously the most excited I've been to watch a basketball game since high school!
We had a tough third quarter but in the end.. With the help of a packed arena and enthusiastic crowd of fans... They pulled it together and won! Breaking 100 to get us all a free chalupa from taco bell.
It was such a great birthday!

Sleep
I love love love to sleep.... Obviously she inherited that love.
My sweet girl slumbers away for at least a solid 7 hours on any given night. Last night she went for 8 hours and I'm sure it would've been longer but I had to wake her to eat.
The lack of sleep was probably what I was dreading the most before her arrival. I'm happy to say that she has always been a great sleeper. Only getting up to eat in the night falling right back to sleep and at two months skipping a night feeding.. Or two.. To sleep all the way through!
I'm one lucky well-rested momma... For some reason I feel like it's going to come back and bite me in the future though.

His girl
Yesterday Spencer disappeared after putting Cora down for her nap. I wondered where he was and thought maybe he was in the office on the computer. I found him and Cora snuggled up in her room. He sure does love his girl!

So blessed
I feel so blessed and grateful to have these two in my life.
Spencer is a wonderful friend, husband, and daddy.
They both bring so much happiness into my life!

Thumb sucking
Cora is trying oh so hard to get that thumb in her mouth.
She has a tendency to tuck her thumb in between her pointer and middle finger so it's hard to find. She will try for it and then move on to each finger with no success.
I was a thumb sucker. For. A. Long. Time. It's not something I'm opposed to doing, I actually encourage it because that means she is more self reliant. She is not a big pacifier baby but she does like it when she is sleepy. She doesn't care if she falls asleep without and doesn't wake up needing it in the middle of the night. It would be nice if she could just use her thumb for a pacifier though so I didn't have to carry one with me at all times.
With that said I hope she doesn't become dependent on it like I did. It was my comfort thing for a long time. I guess either way, thumb or pacifier, one can become "addicted"

Two months
Cora had her two month wellness checkup and shots this past week.
She was less than thrilled to be pokes but it's all for the better, in my opinion.
At two months old Cora weighed in at 10lbs 12oz putting her in the 46th percentile for weight and is 23.25 in long putting her in the 81st percentile for length. Long and slender, certainly didn't get that from momma.
Cora loves to kick her feet while she plays on her mat or even a blanket. She has discovered her hands and lives to suck on them, it's trumps the pacifier any day which is fine with me. We're working on getting the thumbs untucked from her fist so that she doesn't get frustrated when she sticks half her hand in and gags. Going cross-eyed to look at them is another favorite.
She enjoys long conversations with mom and dad and occasionally will put in her two cents. With momma she prefers to snuggle horizontally across my body and with daddy she likes to snuggle on his chest.
Her head and neck control is great and we work on tummy time each day. She'd much refer her back.
Cora is sleeping great right now. She will fall asleep between 11 and midnight and will sleep until 5 or so. She is a good napper once she gets to sleep. Most times she needs to be snuggled to do so.
Right now she sleeps in a bassinet in our room at night. During the day I try and have her take naps in her crib that way she will be used to it when I'm ready to make the transition to having her sleep in it at night.
On this day she would not go to sleep unless I was snuggling her. She would be out while I was holding her but as soon as I put her down she would be wide awake. I was laying where the blue and purple pillows are. She lasted maybe ten minutes once I got up.
