Then later that night was the reception in Columbia at the Tiger Hotel. It was lots of fun and lots of dancing! Everyone immediately took their shoes off, including all the kids...they all had a blast!!
That weekend sure was fun as it had been a while since everyone had gotten together. Here we all are at Andrew and Sarah's house playing woofle ball together. Thanks to Andrew and Sarah for letting us bombard their house the whole weekend! It was great fun...the whole weekend!
Here are the pictures of the blessing day. Everything went well. Kayley loved being able to be a big girl and hold Preston, of course with a little help from me! It was a fun weekend with everyone there!
Here are some bath time fun pictures of the girls. They love to take baths together and will play in there for hours on end...no matter what the temperature is. Oftentimes they play for so long that they are shivering but still having lots of fun together!
Here's my little green thumbed Kayley. My visiting teacher brought over some flowers and Kayley loved planting them and watching them outside. I did have to do most of the dirty work as she still is not a big fan of getting dirty. Hopefully that will change this summer as we are almost ready to plant our garden and she loves to help me!! She loves to go outside and play, so hopefully she'll put that enthusiasm into the garden with me this summer!
Cora loves her Preston...anytime she is near him, she can't get enough of him! We have now come to learn that she is this way with any baby, real or pretend. That grunting noise she likes to make for animals, she makes for babies too. We gave her a baby at Andrew and Sarah's this weekend and she couldn't get enough of her either...but don't worry Preston, I think you still have her heart!! :)
Our sweet little Cora is only 1 week shy of turning 9 months. I can hardly believe that my little girl is growing up so fast! She is so easy going about anything as you can tell by these pictures. Both of these times she was just playing at my feet while I did some computer stuff and before I knew it she was asleep at my feet. As you can see, it looks like she can sleep anywhere! She does love her sleep as she still gives me a full night's sleep almost every night and has ever since she's been about 2 months old. Thanks to whoever came up with the way to swaddle babies...she's a swaddler, which I think is the trick! We sure do love her!
We went to the park in Liberty with the Walkers and had lots of fun. They took their dog Henna to get some exercise and Cora thought it was something else, look at the bottom right picture. Henna is a very sweet and calm chocolate lab, she wouldn't hurt a fly. However, Cora would think otherwise...she couldn't keep her eyes off of Henna. She had to follow her wherever she went, even if that meant almost breaking her neck to see her. Now, with any animals, she can't get enough of them. She does this cute little grunting noise until she gets close to them, then she loves to pet them and give them kisses. Her favorite thing to watch on tv is anything to do with animals. She just goes crazy for them. In fact, the other day, we watched the movie Alvin and the Chipmunks and she just loved watching the little chipmunks. She kept grunting and trying to wiggle her way over to the tv to touch them. She sure is cute!!
