6 Month C.G.

Today is Cora's 6 month birthday. Here are some shots from this morning that only got posted now! Life will NOT slow down! I have a full night ahead of me too (yet I blogged 3 times today? ha ha ha). I hope you enjoyed Cora's pictures. Here are some of her happenings:

Last week I weighed her for my sister in law who is making her blessing dress. She weighed 15 pounds from my calculations (which means it could be wrong. lol). I'm looking forward to see if she's moved up from 5% on height cause she seems to have burst in height.

loves her exersaucer

sucks on anything near her mouth

has been chewing on her hands and drooling like mad since 2 mo but there is no sign of teeth... yet.

ALWAYS happy!

loves to watch and laugh and giggle at Evan no matter what he does

now buries her head into her hands or burp cloth when she's tired, rubbing her eyes. cute!

barely cries

still so gushy everywhere, we love it

reaches for anything and everything.

has a smile for everyone

wants to see all that is going on

doesn't like to be cradled (she might miss something. wink)

loves tummy time but rolls over quickly

loves rattles and crinkly papers

I almost forgot! The other day I was throwing Evan in the bathtub after a dirty day in the backyard. I was rushing the time before getting him undressed (while the tub is filling) and plopping him in the water because he has a tenancy to uh... pee. Lo and behold I was too late, he'd pee'd a little on the floor... 3 inches from a big white toilet! I ALWAYS ask him if he needs to go poo poo or use the potty and he has started saying "no" or "don't want it" (meaning=no). lol. So.. when I saw his little accident, I said, "Nooo! Darn it (which he always repeats, it's hilarious)... Let's get on the potty and go pee pee." He said no but I made him sit on the toilet anyway. :) AND HE DID IT!!!! He finished peeing in the potty for the first time ever! WHOO HOO! Not only that but he used the regular toilet like a big boy. It was totally cute and I made a big big deal about it, even calling to Daddy to come see. We are excited about the possibility of Evan's potty success in the near future. Three cheers for E-V-A-N, Evan!
