Dear Cora - 1 Month


Dear Cora, 

How to sum up the last month In words would probably take a book. Since you have been in our lives we have felt incredible joy. There is not a day that goes by that your dad and I don't look at each other and comment on how much we love you.

You are such a good baby. You eat every three hours and most nights will go a 4 hour stretch. Right now you are sleeping in your bassinet in your car seat. However you have taken many a naps in your crib and bouncy seat. Mama is already getting sad thinking about loving you to your crib at night. 


You absolutely love your baths and have fallen asleep in your bath tub with the shower running on your body a few times. I just knew you were going to be a water baby. I mean we spent the last eight weeks of my pregnancy submerged in a pool :)

You have the prettiest eyes And from the minute you were born were super alert. You have changed so much and just keep getting prettier every day. 

You love to read books. Our favorite book right now is The Little Blue Truck. Thanks Aunt Laura ) You have been to two swim meets already and the girls have loved to see you both times. At three weeks old you made a trip to Peoria to meet the rest of the Sherman and Donahue family. All your grandmas, aunts and uncles just adore you. 

You hate t be cold, I mean who can blame you and so your favorite thing is to be all swaddles up in a snuggly aiden and anais blanket. When you were first born the hospital double swaddled you ad we did that for about a week. You thought that was just heaven. 

This month has flown by and I cherish each and every day with you  my Cora girl. You are one special baby and I can not imagine life with out you.  I do not wish one second to go any faster I want time to stand still so I can enjoy even more time with you.  

I will love you forever to the moon and back. 


Love, 

Your Mama
