Cora Azalea: Worm Loving Jaber-Wokie

Late last week, I picked Cora up from the day care center at my gym and right when I walked in she looked up at me from playing with cars and loudly shouted, "Momma!" and ran over to give me a hug. It was pretty cool.

Later that evening on our way to look at yet another apartment (finding a permanent place is becoming quite the grueling feat in this land of no discrimination laws) Nat came around to take her out of her car seat she waved and said, "Daddy!" We are so stoked and can't wait to hear more and more of her adorable little words.

This past week we have been slowly getting back into our groove after an exciting week in Italy. It was Cora's first visit to the ocean, and although it was chilly, she loved watching the waves and playing in the sand. She also had fun playing with her little Irish buddy, Aran, and hanging out with mom or dad while the other went for a mountain bike ride. Honestly though, I think her very favorite thing about Italy was throwing pebbles in a little drain outside of our little cabin. She was fascinated with the sound it made and did that for hours.

In between hunting for houses with us, Cora has been having so much fun exploring everything and her new favorite things are worms! She even has a sign language sign for them which is wiggling her finger around on the palm of her other hand! So cute.

She also now knows where her nose, ears, eyes, hair, toes and belly button are! Such a little smarty.

We go on hikes in the woods almost everyday with Tanner and she is fascinated by the texture of trees and bushes, the sounds of all the birds, the colors of all the pretty Swiss flowers and she loves to watch bugs and bees fly all around. She's also still a fantastic cook and will pretend to cook away the afternoon while I also cook and do chores before Nat comes home. Yep, I'm enjoying this '50s Haus Frau dynamic for the time being :)
