Cora's Room

Dear Cora, in case we never make you a baby book...

Dear Cora,

There is a strong chance I might never make you a baby book. Your Nana might, and some years from now my mind might get fuzzy and I might accidentally tell you that I made the book, unless she used a font I didn't like, in which case I definitely won't take the credit.

Nonetheless, this blog might be all you ever get.

That's why I'm posting this overly grainy iPhone pic I took tonight. We had just finished your bath— you love taking baths and when I ask you if you want a bath, you pound your fists horizontally together, the sign for more—and I told you that we were going to tell Daddy you're all clean now.

We always do this after you're done with a bath, but usually he's in the house. Tonight, we held up the iPhone to take the pic and instead of grabbing for it like you always do, you started jabbering away, as if you were talking to him. And you smiled, willingly and quickly, as if you knew he might be on the other end of the phone - 5,477 miles away.

You're beautiful, Cora.

And you had a good day today, which you usually do. 9.5 times out of 10.

I love you,

Mommy the mush ball.

Good Morning, Everyone!

I hope everybody is doing good out there.  Here's a picture my Nana Susan took of me.  I'll blog more soon, I promise!

Check Out My New Hoodie, Yo

I like my new hoodie.  It makes it look like I'm wearing headphones, but I'm not.  Most headphones are way too big for me.  Mommy or Daddy play me music most days, but I'm not sure what i like yet.  Check out the music that was playing when I was born , provided by Daddy, Auntie Heather and Auntie Susan.

Bye.

'Probably Coincidence'

My Daddy has a book that says any smiling I do at this point is 'probably coincidence', or maybe gas.  My Daddy would like to point out that those books are full of malarkey, and that this smile is 100% authentic.

I love sleeping on Mommy or Daddy's chest.  it's my favorite place to be in the whole world.  See how happy I am?  My 'campaign' promise for 2009 is more smiles for all my fans here on CoraCaldwell.com.

Bye.

iPhone Close Up

Here's a pic Mommy took of me with her phone.  She loves that iPhone, I tell you what.  I don't remember what I was doing here, but I was probably day dreaming of Mommy's oh-so-sweet milk.

Speaking of milk, where's Mommy?  Oh, there she is......Bye!

Reading is Fun

I can't read yet, so Daddy took it unto himself to read to me last night.  The story was about a boy who was having a bad day.  I can't really relate to that, as I have bad moments, like when I'm hungry, or I made some magic in my diaper for Mommy or Daddy, but I can't say that I've had a bad day yet  This is only my 18th day, so the sample size is small.  I'm sure I'll have a bad day some day, but for now....feed me, and change me, and I'm happy.

Bye.
