Bzzzzz.....

We had fun with Cora this Halloween. It's my least favorite holiday but it's sure fun dressing Cora up! She was a Bumble Bee, thanks to my Aunt for sending me the costume. (Thanks Shelly!) Cora's little friend was a lady bug, they were so cute together. We didn't go door to door but we did go to the Tavares Main St. "Trunk or Treat" event. Cora walked up and down the blocks for a good hour. She was wearing us out! Only two people gave her candy, our Pastor and a friend of ours. But she did figure out how to unwrap a sucker and carried that around with her, usually with sucker head in hand (very sticky). Needless to say, we didn't let her have the sucker for every long. It was a fun evening! We were all tired by the end of the night.

Window view

I just love these photos! She is getting so fun! She is almost 15 months old too! She's walking and talking tons. Her vocabulary isn't too large yet but her intellect is! She may not be able to verbalize what she wants, but she knows exactly what you've said. If we tell her to go get her shoes, she walks into her room and comes out with a matching pair of shoes, everytime! She's amazing! She's also at the age where she knows she is not suppose to do or touch something but she still will out of defiance (or curiosity). We're still learning how to discipline and teach right from wrong. We are also finding that she is a born climber. Oh, it's fun and a little nerve-racking all at the same time. What should we expect though, mom and dad both climb and daddy's a pilot. Of course there's a little dare-devil in her. Just more to look forward too.

Well overdue...

Oh the places I'll go... These are pictures from our trip to MN this July. Yes, I'm very overdue in posting these pictures. Sorry!

Cora got to play in Lake Bemidji and eat ribs in MN. She really enjoyed seeing family and friends. (So did Seth and I!)

Happy Birthday Cora!

Cora turned 1 year today! We had a party with our friends today at our house. Food, presents, and carrot cake....I think it was a great 1st birthday. Her new trick she learned for her birthday is crawling on top of the coffee table. She can get on top and down all by herself but she has taken a fall off the table too. New tricks mean new bumps and bruises.

Happy Birthday Cora! We love you!

Playing dress up

Grandma Susan gave Cora these colorful headbands. Most of the time Cora will not wear any one but on this day we had fun playing with them. She was a good sport! So Cute!

Exploring

Cora has started to explore the house more. She loves peaking out the windows and yelling at the passing cars or birds or blowing trees. Actually, I think she just like to yell. She has definitely found her voice. We've started to do more table foods and exploring the world of textures. She has 6 teeth now and gnawing on a cold organic carrot was one of her favorite teething toys. She also likes mango.... if you couldn't tell from the picture. 

Party Time!

Seth turned 30 this year and we had a party at our house Easter weekend before his parent's went back to MN. By Seth's request we had grilled chicken wings with the famous Hardley Hot Sauce! And of course carrot cake. The party was fun and we all enjoyed some  great food!
