Here's a post Cora will hate me for in years to come:

One of the few times you can put Cora down and reliably predict her destination is bath time. Cora loves bath time. Here's the ritual walk to the bathroom...

Independence Day!

We had an absolutely wonderful Independence Day weekend. Nana and Pop came to visit, as did Casey and Lawson. Cora played in the pool, enjoyed new toys, entertained everyone over enchiladas, and wowed the crowds at VMI. For the second year, she fell asleep during the fireworks... guess she didn't inherit the pyro gene from Mama and Dada!

Down with the English!

Making bread

Cora helped me make bread this afternoon. She loves to be up on the stool watching the action!

Fathers Day weekend 09

We made the trip to Charlotte for Father's Day weekend. It was great.

Pop and Cora checked out the crowds at the Friday night music at Blakeney.

Cora enjoyed the cake and ice cream... big surprise!

And helped Nana organize the laundry room!

Don't put me down!

Cora is talking a lot more, but still relies heavily on body language for communication. We think this maneuver means she doesn't want to be put down... hard to tell though!

The New Cora

Tony and I debated over which picture taken this weekend was the best. We decided on this one. It shows the (slightly) longer hair, the new and improved smile and the new teeth as well!

Camp Stephie

After arriving in Maryland on Sunday, Cora promptly began exploring everything and making repeat trips up and down the stairs. On Monday, her first full day at Camp Stephie was a doozy! A fall off the bed, another one down the stairs (only 2) and a smashed toe from the screen door... she recovered in good form, with only minor wailing. I think Steph and I were more traumatized than her! We are hoping she got all her bumps out of the way early!

The rest of the visit was much more smooth. We discovered the reason for some of the unpleasantness... a new tooth (her 10th)! We made a visit to the Calvert Marine Museum, spent some time playing in the river and Cora had a play date with both Claude and Steph in the toybox. We ended our visit with a great day on Wednesday. Thanks so much for everything!
