moor, please: 10 Months

Cora is 10 Months Old. We celebrated by going to the beach with Mike, Mary and Madelyn.

Cora has put on some pounds since her 9 Month appointment (which was at 9 1/2 months!). So in just 2 weeks she is visibly bigger. She doesn't refuse any food and I switched her over to formula. She isn't really eating any more than she was 2 weeks before but she sure is bigger! She is cruising on pretty much everything and stood alone several times. She had spinach/feta pizza this week and cheesy chicken and rice. She will let me feed her with a spoon as long as I pay attention to her the entire time and don't stop shoveling food. She honestly prefers to feed herself, but she hasn't gotten the concept of small portions at a time. Plus, some of the food she loves is super messy. So, she gets a combo.

She is definitely saying dada now. She cracked us up chatting to Maddie all weekend. She is in a size 2 diaper but I'm only buying size 3 after this box is gone. Who knew she would hit such a growth spurt? She can wear anything from 6-12 months in clothes. Oh and she and her big brother slept in the same room (for the first time) this weekend. It was a super success!! Connor was actually excited about it. He said "It will be like Ben and Nick" (our friends from Baltimore that share a room). He wanted her to sleep in his room at home too. Bless him! Such a sweet brother. This is good news for us and our upcoming trips to Baltimore and MB.

So about the beach! What a fun trip! I know this sounds completely crazy but this was the most relaxing beach vacation we have taken since Connor was born. I think there are a couple of reasons this was the case. 1. Colin came with us and didn't work the entire time and 2. Cora loves the sand!
