The past month has been a whirl win of milestones! Cori started fruit/veggie puree, grew two bottom teeth, and turned a half a year old!
For Cori’s half birthday we went to the Zoo to celebrate! Cori and Daddy got to pet a shark and Mommy and Cori got up close and personal with a momma elephant! We also visited the butterfly gardens at the zoo where the butterflies are free to fly around. Corinne reached out for a few but they were just fast enough to get away. The grasp of a six month old can be surprisingly firm!
Cori’s favorite food right now is peaches and pears. We tried strawberries but almost instantly got a hive over her eye. Cantaloupe is another favorite; she gets some food in a mesh teether that she gums down. (Thanks Jen!) All of the flavor none of the choking hazard.
A few weeks ago Corinne sprouted her first teeth! Both bottom teeth came through within 4 days of each other. And boy does she love to use them to gnaw on whatever she can get in her mouth!
Just after her teeth came through she was having trouble sleeping so mommy reluctantly put her to bed in her own room for the first night and she slept so well. I guess she was just uncomfortable in her cramped pack n play.
This week she started sitting up on her own and she is trying to crawl she gets into position and gets so mad that her arms and legs just wont go! Soon enough I suppose! We recently discovered the swings at the park in our neighborhood and Corinne loves to be pushed in the baby swings! Another favorite part of the park is the big(er) kids playing on the jungle gym and running around. Any where we go Cori has to watch what everyone is doing, kids are her favorite to watch, maybe because they are the loudest!
Corinne also sits in the grocery carts like a big girl, she appreciates the new view! While we are strolling around the store she talks and jabbers away to anyone that will listen. We get compliments all the time about how sweet and beautiful she is. We know we are blessed to have such a little angel.
