Daily Life

Cora is over two months old, and I'm finally getting into a routine/daily life alone with the girls. I was blessed to have so much help... between both sets of grandparents, moving, Steven's paternity leave, etc.... we are now finally just living everyday life with Steven at work and me at home.

And... so far, it has not been as bad or stressful as I thought! I just have really good girls... I was so scared, but it is amazing how you just adapt and life goes on. Going out with both is still completely crazy... but that will hopefully get easier when Cora doesn't have to eat so often.

 Here is what we have been up to:

My sister came to visit for a couple of days. Aubrey loved playing with her cousin. This was sadly our best attempt at getting a photo of all three of the cousins. A 2 year old, 1 year old, and new baby do not photograph well together.

 Cousin bubble bath fun.

 Come back soon! Aubrey is still asking for "Tole... aka Nicole."

 

 We have been loving having a backyard. Aubrey got a new bike. She wouldn't be a Foote without a bike! Cora and I enjoy sitting in the sun watching Aubrey run wild.

The girls are officially sharing a bedroom, and it has been fine so far. Cora gets up once or twice a night (usually once) and Aubrey has slept through it all. I miss having Cora right beside me, but I think we are all sleeping better now.

 Aubrey continues not to nap. A couple days ago, I found this after I got her out of "naptime." I asked her why she didn't take a nap. She told me that she read her babies scriptures and they took a nap instead. Sigh. At least she is learning something good, right?

 My little monkey is taking a gymnastics class. She LOVES it. Her face here says it all. She is a wild one for sure, so gymnastics is perfect for her.

Cora continues to be a joy. She loves to smile, coo, stand on my lap, sleep, eat, and do tummy time. She hates to be left alone, her carseat, and when her sister screams too loud.

She is growing up WAY too fast... it seems like it is going even faster than with Aubrey. I'm trying to enjoy every minute, because I will definitely miss these baby days.

I thought Aubrey was a pretty good baby... but I didn't really know what a good baby was until I had Cora. She is my chunky, sweet, loving little girl.

 And.... that is life right now! Steven and I are here too. I guess we should get some pictures with us in them!
