Moving right along.....

Ever since Cora learned to crawl, there is no stopping her!  She has been "pushing" herself up to a standing position and yesterday she even did a couple of shuffles along the stairs.  Her favorite place to practice her new skills is the bathtub, which is a little scary!

She loves to play with her big sisters!  They love playing with her too, but they have learned they need to go to higher ground whenever they don't want to be disturbed. 

Cora is no longer nursing.  With a little prompting from me, she eats solid foods at every meal and snack time and drinks milk from a sippy cup.  She wasn't a big fan of the bottle, so we just skipped it!

Cora also loves to dance (rock) to music, especially the musical farmhouse on the fridge.  She is learning to fall asleep on her own after drinking a sippy cup.  She still wakes up once at night (usually around 3 am.)  Her two bottom teeth just broke through on February 10.

Eden

Back before I had kids, I had big plans about how I was going to parent.  I was pretty sure that my girls would be dressed cute with stylish hair every day.  Well, Eden totally disagrees with that ideal!  She insists on wearing dress up every day.   And, well, I just don't care enough to fight her on it.  So, Eden wears her pink taleda (leotard) or Minnie Mouse Costume everywhere we go.  The other day, Mrs. Wrhel, Eden's preschool teacher told me she was glad to see that Eden has a distinct little personality.  Me too.  I sure love this little character!

 Oh, and for the hair, Eden usually wants a Jetta (ponytail- named after Jetta on Clifford who wears a ponytail, obviously.)

At the end of January, Eden's preschool did a program about Snowflakes.  Eden bravely went on stage, then stood there without singing a single word.  It was so cute!

Eden's first time writing her name!

 

 Last week, Eden and I went on a date to the Slade School Carnival.  She used her tickets to play a couple of games, buy pop at the food court, and get a bunny face on her cheek!  It was a great time with this little lady!

During the day, these two little girls get to hang out.  Eden is still a little strong with Cora (i.e. lays her full body on top of Cora who of course can't move.)  Eden really loves Cora and they have some fun times.  

P.S. Eden is wearing jeans in this picture, but of course her "taleda" is on underneath so she could still be pretty!
