Day 207 - Snicker Snack

If laughter is the best medicine, can babies really choke if you make them laugh while eating? Has your brain just been blown?

Day 206 - Chomp On the Ol' Block

While the grownups popped some edamame, Cora had a wee nibble on some monster blocks.

Day 205 - The Imp and the Gimp

When I envision Cora's POV these days, I see Ents striding overhead, with spindly appendages allowing them to pendulum above the halflings.

Day 204 - Water Works

From sobbin' and cryin' to splishing and splashing in 30 seconds flat.

Day 203 - Pull and Play

Step one: Clear all storage areas of their contents. Step two: Perform oral density check on items. Step three: Disperse items with prejudice.

Day 202 - Eyes Spy

Her reaction time has dropped so much that the time between target acquisition and motion towards the target is near instant.

Day 201 - Spoon: The Destroyer of Dinner

Her technique is flawless. She can knock the bell off a cat at 20 yards, and that's with hummus. We're dialing down on blueberries for now.

Day 200 - Eight Months and Runnin'

Cora's eighth month coinciding with the 200th blog post is a tidy coincidence. She sure has made a lot of progress.

Day 199 - Socksicle

Frozen berries in a sock: an in-the-pool sort of treat.

Day 198 - Chipper Sipper

Most of the water ends up being spouted out, but it makes her smile which is what it's all about.

Day 197 - Lake Sprout

Usually, that pristine skin would be beckoning mosquitoes from miles around. Fortunately she sneaked into a rare window of bite free bliss.

Day 196 - The Three Amigitos

Three babies, one pool, and craziness galore.

Day 195 - Tot Light

Don't they look guilty? I'm not even sure they were up to anything, but just look at them.

Day 194 - Testing the Waters

We tried to explain that this wasn't like the aquarium where you pat the surface and the critters come give you a nuzzle.

Day 193 - Sittin' and Sippin'

And chewin' and droolin' and laughin' and smilin'.

Day 192 - Wingin' It

When I mow down on some bat, I go for the center meaty bit, not those leathery, fur-laden wafer flaps. She'll figure it out eventually.

Day 191 - Peer Review

Look at the baby. Smiling, judging, watching.

Day 190 - Fake It Till You Make It

It's all about appearances, right?

Day 189 - Munchkin and Music

The music is free, so I guess it's only right that the food is so overpriced. Not that Cora minds. Give her a hat and hug and she's good to go.

Day 188 - The Lizards of Awws

Pay no attention to the babies behind the curtain. They are just bonking their domes against the glass door while soaking up the sun and watching the cars go by.

Day 187 - Baby Came Back

The last time she was in Happy Camp, there was snow on the ground and she was stationary. Same crazy hair though.
