~Cordelia at 8 Months~

Another month older.  Another month bigger and stronger.
Just as happy and friendly as ever!
Sitting like a champion these days, with little to no desire to crawl around.  Occasionally scooting backwards on her belly just makes her mad.  She's no longer tolerating silly things like hairbows.  I put it on, she takes it off.  It's such a fun game until I let her win... which is 99% of the time. 
Already so full of life and personality.
Dearest Cordelia,
I've said it before and I'll say it again.  You are such an amazing third baby!  Most of the time you are so laid back, just happy to be around people.  We think it's hilarious how your silly side is coming out.  You follow after your brother in many aspects, one of them being that you love to make silly faces and see peoples reactions.  

You babble at me all the time these days, frequently using your hands for emphasis where appropriate.  Lots of "dah dah dah dah!"  So far no sign of the "ma ma" sound, but it's okay.  Your daily neck nuzzles and open mouth cheek kisses let me know that I'm still the center of your world, and for now that is exactly how it should be. :-)  

You have a way of lighting up our days and bringing such peace and joy to all of our family.  Grumpy kid?  Put Cordy in front of them.  She is bound to make them smile or laugh.  Grumpy Mama?  Hand Cordy to her!  She's sure to appreciate the snuggles.  You're always so pleasant!  We all enjoy spending time with you, making you laugh, hearing your babbles, and watching you explore and discover the world.  

Thank you for coming to our family.  Not even Alec or Elyssa can imagine life without you.  I love you more than all the stars in the sky.
Love always,
Your Mommy

Maybe God send Cordy third so you would have a fourth. Tee hee. Or if you ask your kids, a fifth and sixth. You always wanted a party, right?

She is so sweet and adorable. I think she's going to look like Nichelle.

I love the picture with her hair bow in her hands....it's priceless. She's curing the bow. :) Simply perfect!
