6 months!

Cora has had a big month! She started rolling from back to tummy and does it every time you put her on her back to play. She also does it in her crib, getting stuck on her tummy and crying. She hasn't decided that she can sleep on her tummy yet. She sits pretty well now and we tried solid food for the first time. Her first food was banana, and she's also had avocado, sweet potato, mango, asparagus, pear and carrot. She's still not crazy about food, but eating more and more every meal. She continues to wake up at least once a night to nurse. She LOVES her daddy and will stare at Matt whenever he's in the room. She's also discovered Allie and Lucy and tries to pet/grab them when they come near.

Eating avocado for the first time

We surprised my mom for her birthday with a weekend trip to the Oregon Coast. She was VERY happy to see Cora! We hiked a bunch through the dunes and Cora rode in the hiking backpack for the first time. She loved it for about 5 minutes before she fell asleep :)

5 months old in February

Cora changed a lot in her 5th month - she is much more aware and curious about everything. She nurses more often (every 2 hours), but only for 5-10 minutes at a time. She took her first plane trip to go see Matt's family in California. She did great on the flight - charming everyone with that smile, but went on a nap strike once we got there and stopped sleeping through the night as well. She's sleeping 7pm to 7am with one or two wake ups to nurse. She's discovered her voice and loves to squeal/scream for fun. She chews everything, but no sign of teeth yet. We started solids around 5.5 months - more on that in her 6 month update.
