Brave Girl

In late April, just as we began thinking we would be carrying her everywhere for the rest of her life, Cora began to brave the world by stretching to get things. Here she has gotten stuck in the splits. She is a pretty good sport. The other day I was working and heard a little call from behind me. I looked over my shoulder to find her folded in half under the couch. The other kids were all at school, so she must have gotten there on her own. Her little bum was sticking out, but the rest of her was folded at the waist and smashed flat. Unfortunately, the mom instinct overcame the photo instinct. Next time I will go for the camera before the rescue. In the last several days she has started to roll over and go from her stomach to a sitting position. Though she does look at us and try to indicate that she would like to be transported before she does any work on her own.
