Happy days and Happy nights

Last weekend we went to Rader Farms and Cora got to see and pet some of the animals. She loved watching all the people and the other kids. She also got to hang out with her friend Haddie. After the farm we went to Josh's cousin's baby shower and Cora got to spend time with her great great grandma, great grandma, grandma and many other family members.

So Cora has slept through the night for the past two nights! I think my mom was right...Cora was cold. The warm, soft jammies are working!

Tonight I made more homemade baby food for Cora. I love doing it because it's easy and I know exactly what she's eating (no preservatives). Tonight I made pears, sweet potatoes and bananas. Cora had bananas for the first time tonight and she loved them! I'm so glad that so far she is a good little eater.

5 Months Old

Cora playing in her exersaucer at grandma Frink's. She has so much fun in it!

Tryin' out juice in the sippy cup.
She did really well and actually knows to suck on it instead of chew.

New things...

Cora has tried and loves pears and sweet potatoes.

Cora used to sleep through the night but suddenly isn't. She now gets up every 2 -3 hours every night to eat. So tonight I dressed her in warmer jammies, read 3 books, gave her a massage, put her bumpers back in her crib and sprayed lavender on her sheet. For the past two nights I did something I didn't want to do...gave her a bottle with cereal before bed...it didn't work. I'm so glad because I don't want to get her in that habit. So we'll see if she sleeps better tonight. I'm also going to try to not run in and get her when she wakes up. I want her to learn to self sooth herself back to sleep. I'll keep you updated on her progress.
