Point - Five

On Wednesday of this week Cora hit her six month mark. I had been visiting my brother Tom & family in DC, and so Cora and I were riding the train home. The conductor was very chatty with Cora when we boarded, and I told him it was her half- birthday. For the rest of the day any time he would walk by he would say "Hey, Point-Five!" or "What's up, Point-Five?" It was really cute, and Cora has perfected the flirtatious smile, so he loved greeting her. Thus, the nick-name of the week is Point-Five.

I also panicked when I realized Cora's infancy is half over. What happened? Suddenly I feel this strange sensation people have been warning me about-- the realization that I don't have a newborn anymore, and that this child is going to have teeth and begin walking in the not so distant future!!!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!


Suddenly I hope she will wake up extra
in the night, just so I can see her.
Um, no, actually, I am HAPPY to wait
until morning, but I am LESS disgruntled when she does wake me up because she really is such an angel, and it feels like time is flying by.

Our friend Katie was kind enough to take some family pictures last night. We had a great time getting the pictures taken, and then enjoyed some burgers and shakes at Colonel Kustard's. It was a beautiful evening, and we really appreciated Katie taking the time out from her busy days to help us get some wonderful pictures.
