Valentine's Day = More Balloons!
Our sweet, forever valentine, Cora Presley Bailey! The perfect opportunity for more balloons and Cora received them from both Mommy and Daddy. Just in case you were wondering, there is no such thing as too many balloons in Cora's world. Cora is in the process of transitioning from pureed foods to most foods in their solid form, just softened. She still only has one tooth, but does an excellent job of chewing. The original plan was to eat as a family, but that hasn't worke
Bowling Baby
We are trying to capture as many firsts as possible with Cora and she had her first bowling experience, with her cousins Spencer and Anna. Cora was more of a cheerleader for Spencer and Anna, but she did get a chance to bowl a couple times for daddy. Mommy sat this one out, to keep Cora company, but we will keep coming back every so often and see if it something that Cora enjoys.

I was three days late in getting this picture, but
Music and Swimming
The camera I use does not take action shots very well and keeping sweet cheeks still is a challenge. Cell phone picture clarity is not as good as an actual camera, in my opinion, so I need to either figure this camera out or buy one that is good with action shots. So, our second full session of music has started up and Cora has started swimming lessons as well. Music is a favorite of mine and Cora loves it too! I am a bit disappointed to hear that schools no longer have se
Birthday Celebration - For Daddy
Cora has always loved balloons, when we are out shopping and sees them, but she got to experience one first hand thanks to Daddy. Matt celebrated his 33rd birthday on January 26th, so Cora and I picked up a balloon and went to school to eat a birthday lunch with him. It was fun to take a little "field trip" to visit Daddy and I hope it is a tradition that we can keep up for many years to come. Cora will definitely have at least one balloon at her first birthday and it will
