Cora turned 6 months old on Thursday - I can hardly believe it as it feels like just a few days ago we brought her home from the hospital. Her growth is undeniable as she is now so alert and busy. Some of her current favorite things are having staring contests with Daddy, playing in her bouncer and playing with Della. Della will sit in front of Cora while Cora is in the bouncer and Cora will "do" Della's hair. She loves to grab onto hair and Della will sit there while Cora tugs and let her play. It's very sweet and at the same time a little amazing as if I comb Della's hair with any tangles at all, she cries and cries. We've been adding solids to Cora's diet and she has been loving everything so far. She gets a little upset when the food is gone and she'll look around with her mouth wide open just in case we have any extra hiding. Cora is a very loving and sweet baby. She loves to cuddle and play. She has been exercising her vocal capabilities and will squeal in delight when she finds something she really likes such as Della, her teething toys, or food on the table. She is pretty sure she is ready to eat what we eat as she always opens her mouth to be fed when we eat in front of her. Della has been loving being a big sister and tells Cora regularly that she loves her and gives her lots of hugs and kisses. She moves our two playmats together so they can do tummy time or sit up and play side by side. Recently, she has started putting blankets over the top to make a tent. The other day, Derek had a mustang for his business rental and Della was very excited. The rental place dropped it off before Derek was home and Della asked if she could go for a ride in it. I told her she would have to ask Daddy. She then proceeded to have an out loud conversation with Derek and concluded that He said yes :) her imagination has been greatly blossoming and she loves to play pretend. Here are some pictures from the past couple of weeks.
