8 month Cora Grace

We cannot even stand it that you are 8 months old today! I know it's crazy to say... again... but where DOES the time go? You are still so cute and beautiful but you are now getting fun as well. I don't have a doctors report on your size but we can tell you have grown with your heaviness (it's all in the cheeks and rolls on your legs, he he). Some of your tricks are getting more refined like jumping in the doorway bouncer, Man, you better watch out when you're in that think,  a person could get hurt! ;) You army crawl and roll to everything you want when we let you down on the ground. Letting you on the ground can be dangerous cause of Evans constant jumping and running everywhere but lately we've decided to take the chance so you can stretch your chubby legs. :) This past week we played pat-a-cake with you for the first time and guess what, you loved it so much, you started clapping, not only that but on command! You are very cute because you hold one hand still but open fingers and bring the other hand to the stationary hand to clap. It's adorable and mommy will take a video of it soon but you just started so give me time. You laugh a lot at your brothers antics and love your Mommy and Daddy too. We are STILL anxiously waiting to hear your California paperwork is on it's way to Tennessee so we can finally finalize your adoption and have you sealed to us. We cannot wait for that day and plan to have a big celebration with friends and family when that day finally comes. We are so grateful for the joy you constantly bring to our family. We really should pinch ourselves, we feel so lucky to have you.
I will post your height and weight whenever your next appointment is. lol. Sadly I have no idea when it is but guess next week? We'll see. (typical mom).

{this is an example of the fact we cannot expect you to lay sweetly while changing your diaper anymore. it is a struggle with you trying to flip around. now, you've decided to try to crawl off your changing table. you are a drool mess but we love you}
