Neither Josh or I were prepared for how dramatically our lives would change when Cora came along. One of the biggest adjustments for me is that I can't simply *go* places anymore, without a lot of advanced planning and forethought. This is largely due to the threat of the ever-looming MELTDOWN. Cora and I do get out with the Cora-mobile quite a bit, but with a few exceptions (Lincoln Woods; the airport), she has only ventured within walking/strolling distance of our apartment.
Along these lines, today marked a big day for us in that Cora and I were able to spontaneously drive to a store and pick up a few items. Sure, the store was Babies R Us (with this nice weather, I suddenly decided we NEEDED a sun hat for Miss Baby). And, the distance was just a little over 10 miles. Nevertheless, it was a big accomplishment for us. An accomplishment -- I hope -- that forecasts many more momma/baby "adventures."
As you can see, Cora (mostly) behaved like a champ.
We bought a great sun hat! Although apparently, these only come in bigger sizes... so, she'll need to grow into it.
After a jaunt in her stroller, Cora decided she was VERY sleepy. Check out the sweet legwarmers in this photo, courtesy of the Star-Powers family. I also could not resist buying this adorable cherry jumper.
Just a few more because she's so cute...
One thing I especially like about the jumper is that it buttons down the front. SO much more practical than having to pull it over her big baby head, a la traditional onesies.
Argh! Stop taking pictures of me, momma.
