8 months old and Christmas!

As you can tell we were very busy that month, Cora started pulling up on everything, was talking up a storm and made us laugh everyday. Cora was "dadadadada'-ing all the time and she started to seem to recognize Matt as Dada and repeat it over and over when she saw him. She was a major copy cat, especially with Matt. She would mock him clicking his tongue, growling and her little way that she would scrunch up her nose and breath in and out (hard to explain but pretty cute to see her and Matt do it). Cora also started to figure out how all of her toys worked and was hitting the buttons and turning her favorites off and on. It was so sweet to watch her little mind work and figure things out. She was very proud of herself!

Lunch with family after church the Sunday before Christmas
Christmas morning! Mommy worked and I waited until she got home to see what Santa brought me!
Checking out my loot from Santa!
Sweet baby girl at Mimi and Fluffy's on Christmas morning! It was pretty icy on Christmas morning. We even had a White Christmas! It took us awhile to get to Mimi and Fluffy's that morning and then we all drove out to Grand Saline to see the rest of the family. A very busy day and one tired Momma!
The next morning we headed out to Oklahoma to see the Stogner's and celebrate Christmas with them!! We had a great time with everyone.

For some reason, I really can't remember why, we started giving Cora her baths in the sink again! We've actually kept it up. It's a lot easier and she really seems to like it.
By the end of her 8th month she was a pro at pulling herself up and standing. She has become very "helpful" to Mommy when it's time to load or unload the dishwasher!
My little fashionista!
Playing with one of her favorite toys. Notice the hands are moving a lot faster than the camera can!
