More Firsts! Caught on camera!

Cora's firsts!   I know we have covered some of these, but thought I'd cover them again ;)

Cora's first time holding her bottle

First 'team' confusion.  Poor girl!



If you have not heard Cora had a first her second week.   Sorry if tmi, but she was really tooting so daddy decided to put her on the potty and she had her first poop!
This wasn't a one time thing either.  She does this every or every other day now.   She hasn't gone in the diaper for over a month now!   WTG daddy!

First wedding!

First Halloween

And first thanksgiving!

First time being used as a table.


And first nap with daddy

First party!   

First trip to the river!

Found first love!


Or maybe this is first love?


And the other night Cora had her first experience with cereal!   

I had heard that this probably wouldn't go very well, so I was prepared; towels, bib, new outfit ready to go, but it actually went pretty well!  Here is her very first bite on video


Daddy got to do the honors while Mommy had the camera. 
  

The camera was pretty distracting though, so I had to stop after just a couple of pictures because the flash was just so interesting!   She did pretty well though!  Got a good 4 tbs down, we think.   AND that night, while she usually sleeps really well for us (like 9 P.M. until 6:45 A.M. most mornings), she actually slept until 8:00 A.M. and has kept doing so.

Not So Two Shea- A day in the life with Cora Rose

Ok, so I am going to start with the night before.  Somewhere between the times of 8:00 P.M. and 10:00 P.M. Cora Rose Shea goes down for the night.  


And...I would like to say I know how lucky we are, but I know we really don't.  Miss Cora sleeps all the way through the night 95% of the time!   Sometime between 6:30 A.M. and 7:30 A.M. she start talking.   Mornings are my favorite.  I walk in there and she is all smiles.

And she really is the most talkative at this time!  Love baby talk!  Every once in awhile she makes a sound that even surprises her.  

Cora has Acid Reflux, so she gets medicine.  What is hard is she has to wait a half-hour before she can eat.   She is a hungry girl, but is pretty patient.  I can't imagine how hungry she is though.  We change her diaper while she plays with her feet. The best toys around.  Sometimes during this time she gets a bath to occupy the time.  She loves her baths almost as much as her feet.  


Or she goes in her swing, baby gym, or walker.   As soon as the 30 minutes are up (or close to depending on how hungry she is), we eat!

Then after that Cora plays for awhile, until she gets tired or time for mommy to go to work.


Then it is off to Cora's favorite place!  Angie's!    



Where Cora gets to play, nap, play with kitties, play with the girls...great times!    




Then mom comes to pick her up to go back home.   We do lots of playing at home too!




Generally, Cora stays up for a couple of hours and then goes down for a nap that lasts usually from an hour to three hours.   She is such a good girl.

Daddy comes home around 5:00 P.M.   Loves her daddy!

Then, somewhere between 8:00 and 10 P.M. Cora is ready for bed and sleeps the night through.  :)
