Lounging

Chilling as she always does. Cora is a great baby and we love her dearly.  She is almost 3 months, is sleeping through the night from 9 pm - 7 am (I thought that was normal until I spoke to some of my friends with newborns).  She is smiling lots, will talk when you talk with her, she loves attention, and will stop crying if you just look at her and say something.  She eats like a champ and can spit up like a champ too (every once in a while). She loves to be swaddled and warm and sleeps best that way.  I feel like my heart is so much stronger after having her.  You think your heart is full until you meet another one of your children. Feeling very blessed these days!

Dinogasm

We went to the museum to see the dinosaurs with my mom, Dave, Ellen, the kids, and Mr. & Mrs. Gardner. When we went over a year ago in Pittsburgh, Colton was a bit afraid of the large dinosaur displays...but not this time. He loved every second of every bone he saw. This boy loves his dinosaurs.

Cupcake Decorating

We visited Jessa, Alexa, and Addison and played with all their toys.  We later made cupcakes and enjoyed the icing.

Music Fun

We spent many days with my best friend Jessie and her twins.  We played at their house, we went to story time at the library, and we had a music class at my parents' house.  My mom played the piano and we all played instruments.

Cousin Love

Colton, Cora, Val & I went in to Pittsburgh for 10 days to take advantage of the time I had off and get to see friends and family. One of the highlights was getting to hang out with the cousins. Colton had a blast with Alana, Gavin, Alexa, Addison, & Norah.  And they all had fun meeting Cora for the first time too.

Keira & Colton

Jean, Tom & Keira came over for dinner and fun with the kids. Keira & Colton had a blast together as always.

Assenmacher Visit

Greg, Deb, Sydney and Nate visited and the kids had fun playing and we had a great time catching up with Greg & Deb.

Passionate Dinosaur Lover

I love how in love Colton is with his dinosaurs. He is very particular as to which ones get to snuggle with him each night. It changes daily.

Devon's Baby Shower

Katie (Claire), Kelli, Kimmie, Devon, Jada, Me (Cora)

We celebrated Devon's baby shower at Normandy Farms a few weekends ago.  Kimmie and Jada came in from Baltimore/DC. To think...Katie and I were secretly acknowledging our early pregnancy back in April of last year at Devon's bridal shower. Now we have babies in hand and Devon and Kelli are next. Always fun to be with the Kappa girls.
