Cora’s New Room

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

This past weekend Evan, Amy, and I worked hard to paint and get Cora’s room in order so she would have her own cute girl room. We went with a light yellow (see photos) and then added in some wall decals for some nice decorations. Cora seems to like her room but would still prefer to leave it after we put her down at night (we have to put up a baby gate to keep her in). She also loves having the fish tank in her room and looks forward to feeding them everyday.

Keep your clothes on!

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

Clothes would be okay if the diaper did not come off with it. Cora has decided she is more comfortable with her clothes off and her diaper as well. The one positive is it seems she always goes potty before the diaper comes off. Yesterday she took her pants and diaper off, we put it back on twice and then I decided to just bring the potty chair out into the living room and told her several times to sit and put her down on the chair several times. I went to put clean clothes away and came out and Cora was shapely getting out of the clothes backet….weird. I went to take a look and she had gone potty in the basket. I guess it is better than the couch or floor. There is always something crazy going on at the Muller-Zelazny household!

Cora’s Pigtails

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

On Friday I took Cora to get her hair cut and for the first 5 minutes she screamed at the top of her lungs and then all the sudden stopped and realized she was fine. She did great for the rest of the haircut and the hair stylist then put her hair in pig tails which I thought were super adorable and snapped this photo.

I’m Climbing Out

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

The other day the baby-sitter went in twins’ room to see why Cora was crying…and this is what she saw. She has not tried to climb out since (or at least has been successful) but I knew she would be out sooner than later.

Our Little Ballerina

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

Cora loves a few things: boots, and standing on the table. Regardless of how much we try, Cora (and Will) love to be on top of the dining room table. We have tried pushing chairs in and moving them out. Cora then went to her room, got a toy to climb on, and then climbed up on the table that way. Even though we cannot keep boots on either twin while in the car or in the stroller (they take them off), she enjoys wearing boots non-stop in the house.

Cora Visits Florida

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

When my mom told me she was coming out for Evan’s birthday party and knowing we would all be flying to Florida 5 days later – I threw out the idea that she could take one of the twins back with her if she wanted for the few days that we would still be here in Chicago. I figured they might enjoy having some one on one time with one of the kids (since Evan stays with them for a few days/week each summer) and that would also help us. She ended up choosing Cora this time around since Cora is easier to maneuver by herself on the plane. Will looks forward to some one on one time later this year!

The plane ride went well and everyone had a blast in Florida. Cora was quite social and enjoyed meeting new people and spending time with her grandparents and great grandparents.

Cora Lounging

Cora and will do great in stores while Amy and I shop, but Cora cracks me up with her seat positions. She is either lounging like you see here – or standing. There is no between.

Cora Love Shoes

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

Cora loves her shoes and anyone else’s that she can find. She especially loves to find her big brother’s shoes and put those on. Whenever things are a little quieter than expected – we can pretty much guarantee she is rounding up shoes to try on. Before she could walk she would even seek out shoes, put them on her hands, and crawl around with them. We really will be surprised if she does not have some huge shoe collection (as well as other accessories). I know what you are thinking…just like he mom Jen. Perhaps the shoe/accessory obsession just skipped a generation.

Cora and Her Shoes

Posted by: jzelazny | 2 Comments

Cora loves her shoes

There are not too many days that go by without Cora finding random shoes, putting them on her hands, and crawling around happy as can be. It does not matter who they belong to or if they match – she just likes putting them on her hands and scooting around with them.

She also tends to prefer them on opposite of the way you would put them on her feet. Regardless – if there are shoes around the house – there is a good chance Cora will find them and try and put them on…her hands. Early sign of a shoe fetish? We shall see…

Cora on Patrol

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

Monday I got a summons to go upstairs to look into the babys’ room by their babysitter. I walked in and saw Cora happily standing up looking around in her crib. She was super proud of herself for getting up in the bed and even took some side steps while holding onto the rail. Needless to say – the crib mattress has now been lowered so she cannot climb out…for a few more months.
