Cora's Second Month

In Cora's second month, she had some exciting firsts.  Having passed the 6-week mark without any incidents, we started to take Cora out more to introduce her to the exciting world she lives in. 

Just after she turned a month, she had her first public debut at her sip 'n see:

All dressed up and ready to be spoiled!

Some of the ladies in my church Sunday school class threw us a beautiful sip 'n see.  For those of you (like me) who don't know what a sip 'n see is, it's basically a baby shower that is held after the baby is born.  This way, you can sip your tea and see the baby.  Cora and I enjoyed being spoiled and showered with love and gifts.  It was an awesome party - definitely pinterest worthy.  Unfortunately, I didn't get as many pics as I planned since I was too busy enjoying the party!

We also took her on her first road trip:

My mom came to visit and we decided to take a girls' trip and drove up to Dallas to visit some friends and family.  On our way up, we just had to stop for a picture with the iconic Sam Houston statue.  Slik and I have driven past this statue many times over the years but have never bothered to stop.  I've always wanted to stop and get an up close look so my mom and I decided to stop and take a look.

On her trip, she had her first encounter with a dog (My in-law's bulldog, Beau):

I think they are on their way to being best buddies

Back home, she had her first playdate at the park:

Pretty much while one baby slept, the other was awake and vice versa.  The babies didn't get much interaction, but the mommies had a good time!

Later in the month, she went to her first concert (Uncle Joe's band, Hardproof Afrobeat) while on her second road trip:

   
Not surprisingly, she slept through Uncle Joe's concert.

However, I think my favorite first during her second month are these:

Her first real smiles!
