8 Months... The Gates are up!

Tuesday Cora turned 8 months old! Time is still flying by! and Cora is still happy as ever! we have really lucked out with this little girl! As of today Cora has 6 teeth! And this morning Cora had pancakes with her breakfast! Finger foods here we come! Her hair is growing slowly.. it's still pretty short everywhere except for the tuft on the top of her head which is about 2" long, and the only way it lies is straight up! She's our little peacock! Her dimples are becoming more prominent as she gets older.

Happy all the time is an understatement! She never cries.. if she starts getting a bit cranky we know it is time for a nap. If she does cry we rush to her quickly because we know something is wrong! Usually it is because Cole is sitting on her or poking her. He's in for some trouble once she's big enough to fight back!

Cora loves to play peek-a-boo! She plays with us with her bibs! or any clothes lying around on the floor! She'll lift it over her eyes and then put it down with a big smile and a laugh! She also absolutely loves her brothers, she laughs and laughs even when they are doing something we'd rather them not. Trying to tell them it's not okay while their little sister is laughing hysterically at them doesn't help drive the message home!

Cora is making strides towards crawling! She began by pulling herself around with her arms a week and a half ago, she's now graduated to pushing off with her legs as well.. tonight even she sort of started keeping both knees up and her belly off the floor! We'll see if she continues tomorrow. The first of three gates is up.. at the top of the stairs. she's not quite mobile enough to need the others yet.

Enjoy the video of her early stage crawling... I'll update when we have officially reached the big milestone! we'll be in big trouble then!
