Swiss Kiddo


It's amazing to think we have been here in Switzerland now exactly a year, today. Although the days sometimes are long, frustrating and hard and there are times I think "How in the world am I going to entertain this crying baby the entire day by myself before Nat get's home?" the days and weeks have quickly turned into months, and now, it's been a whole year since our move. It's been quite the crazy ride, that is for sure. I'm hoping this next year we will be able to get into our stride here, and fully enjoy this beautiful country. 

The past couple of weeks have been full of days going to the gym or into Bern on the train, reading books, playing and hiking outside as much as possible, doing art projects (she loves to draw on anything, especially her hands!) going to play groups, eating, growing and learning new words more and more every day! Cora is starting to really put together sentences now, which is pretty cool. I think these next few years of watching her development will be remarkable. 

Here are a few photos from the last two weeks.

First Sentence!

Before I forget - last week as I was changing to on a bike ride, Cora looked up and said her first full sentence to me which was, "Mommy go ride bike!" How cool! I was quite proud! Then we all went on a family bike together through the fields and forests surrounding our cute little town. We were pretty excited :)

Here are a few photos from the past week:






She is getting GREAT at eating with a spoon!


Our pretty backyard.



Cow Parade!



On the slide! She still wants to be on my lap :)



This is an old pic of the day we helped Lillian move. Just thought it was adorable and needed to be up here. We miss them!

Hiking over by Buell.
