Cora says (part 2)

Cora has been KILLING ME with her quotes lately. Again.
She calls swimsuits "swim-swoots". So cute!
We have been discussing potty training lately, and one day she picked up her Moana doll, lifted up its skirt and said "Moana with the butt goes poop in the potty". What???
She has been really into people's rear ends (shockingly). She likes to try to pull down people's pants or lift up my skirt. Hopefully she is only doing that to her parents and not anyone else.
Her new thing is "I'm so happy to see you!" Even when I'm super mad at her, it is so cute.
She also says "Mom, you're my best friend." Cue the heart eyes.
When James smiles at her, she says "Ohhhh, he likes you!" (since that is what we usually say)
When I ask her what I just said, she will always say "I love you!" She's too cute.
She also says "No I won't!"
If she gets frustrated trying to do something she will say "I'm trying so hard!"
Instead of repeating what you say when she agrees with you, she is finally starting to say "Yeah". It's from the cutest little voice.
In the last week, she has picked up "Hold on Mom". I have nobody else to blame but myself for that one.
She's learning that trick every child does, where the largest of something is "Daddy _____", the next largest is "Mommy _______", the third largest is "Cora ______" and the next one is "James ____" or "baby ______".


She is so cute, even when she tests our patience!

Random September 2017 Happenings.

Just a giant photo dump of the things we did in September.
 James got to experience his first story time at the library. He liked the scarves.
Then of course he had a blowout and had to leave without any clothes on.
 James and Clive! Such cute little buddies.
 Learning to do tummy time!
 I love this swaddle. He looks so cute.

 James put himself to sleep at Music Makers. Such an angel baby.
 We went to Cafe Rio one day, and Cora tried horchata. It was a hit!
 Again, sleepy buddy boy.


 Selfies!

 James is just learning how much fun his sister is.
 Of course she never took a pacifier until her brother did.

We had a Minnie Mouse party for Cora's friend Clara. It is so darling that Cora has so many cute girls around her age that she can play with!


 (Typical Cora. Always ready for the next party.)
 Brandon blew a raspberry on James' stomach. It didn't go well.

 He is so fair and tender and sweet. I love him. 
 Story time with everyone.
 In order to get a break from Veggietales and Moana, we introduced Cora to some of the traditional Disney movies. Here she and James are loving Pocahontas.
 Mother's lounge lyfe!
 Even at 2.5 months old, he's getting so steady!
 We love "the Office", so this outfit was perfect!

 We got pumpkins and Cora lined them all up to watch her eat lunch.
 Oh Jamers, we love you!
 Cora is obsessed with riding on the back of the Target cart, and it always ends in her falling off the back of the cart.
 Finally cool enough for long sleeves and pants! Kind of.

 This is basically how church goes. He's grumpy in class then a total hoot in the mother's lounge.

 Super dad. That's close to 50 pounds of kid/car seat to carry.
 Superdad part 2!
 Wrap crew.
Our friends Tiffany and Emerson came back into town, it was so fun to see them!


 Sassafras. 


 Gosh I love him so much!

 Bye Emerson! We'll see you again soon!
 I mean seriously, look at how sweet his face is watching Cora. I love them so much!
