Cora is the queen of fighting her naps. Really, I think she would be completely thrilled with the option to never take naps or go to bed at night. Today she fought her nap with all her might, so I brought her downstairs and finished making my cookies. I was in the kitchen for 10 minutes when I decided to check on her. This is what I found :)

Finally!
I have officially committed to start blogging again. I know it has been a very long time, and I have a lot to update. It very well may take me a week or 2 to get all my pics uploaded. Here are a few pictures in the meantime.

Hammy
Cora has decided that she loves the camera. She puts on a production whenever I turn it on. I just wanted to get some pics in her cute outfit the other day, but these are what she gave me. Such a ham! I couldn't believe how big she looks when I uploaded them to my computer...not a little bambino anymore. Oh...please disregard the giant bruise on her forehead - she had a collision with the cocktail table a few days ago.

Walking the dog
Cora has an obsession with Lily. She hears her eating and says "dau dau", hears her barking and says "dau dau", tries to throw the ball to her, pets her, hugs her and most recently, started trying to put her leash on her. We appeased her wishes the other day and this was the result. Poor Lily...bean just kept saying "dau dau" while walking to different parts of the room trying to "walk" her. Lily is such a good dog :)

Good Morning
This is how I get to start my day :) Cora loves her new chair. She comes downstairs every morning, and piles her babies, moo cow and bunny in the chair with her to watch a few minutes of sprout while mommy makes her coffee. I am constantly amazed at how fast she is turning into a "big" girl, as the baby traits fade away. Seriously, I know I am her mom, but how could you resist this face :)

Happy Birthday Cora Bean! (I know, I am way behind!)
I can't believe a whole year has gone by! April 11, 2008 enriched my life beyond words the moment the doctor announced we had a little girl. Cora Genevieve, Cora Gen, Cora Bean, sassy pants or peanutty - whatever you would like to call her, has rocked my world for the past year, and I look forward to watching her grow into a young lady. Yes, I know that between her daddy and big brothers she will have lots of rambunctious moments, but I can tell in the way she loves her babies and daintily picks up her food, she will be a sweet little girl. I had high hopes of doing all kinds of first birthday blogging, but our week was beyond crazy. So, I am nixing all the birth story and sentimental posts, and jumping right into the big day. Cora's party was absolutely fantastic! We are so grateful for such wonderful family and friends - near and far. She was blessed with so many thoughtful gifts, and will have plenty to keep her entertained for a very long time. I was shocked she did so well! No nap from 7a until 4p usually makes for a cranky Cora, but she must have known it was her day and turned the charm on the moment people walked in the door. Thank you to everyone who shared in Cora's special day, whether in person or spirit, we are grateful to have you in our life.

Easter 2009
I am still working on the birthday post, so I thought I would share a few Easter photos while you wait. Easter weekend was huge this year with Jason's Baptism, Cora's birthday and the actual Easter holiday. Since Jason was baptized at the Easter Vigil, we decided to have a very laid back Easter morning, followed by brunch at Cora's great aunt Laurie's and a late lunch at great grandma Bettie's house. My grandmother (whom Cora is named after) made me several smocked dresses when I was a baby, and we were so excited that sassy pants fit perfectly in my toddler Easter dress that she had made. Cora loved her Easter basket, which was pretty basic after all the spoiling on Saturday, and she lugs her new bunny everywhere. She even got to hunt for goldfish filled eggs at Laurie's house. All in all the Lord blessed us with a wonderful weekend with family and friends!
