Cora went to nursery for the first time on Sunday! She did a great job! She had a lot of fun playing with the other little kids, and seemed happy whenever we peeked in the window. We were thrilled for her to have a better church experience-- better than struggling with her on our laps during lessons for 3 hours while slowly draining all the goldfish from the diaper bag. And we were thrilled to be able to listen to whole chunks of lessons in church for the first time in a long time. Kevin and I decided that it would even be worth it to bring two sets of scriptures now! (Before we just brought one set because really, only one of us could read or follow along at a time). Another big bonus-- she had a much easier time in Sacrament meeting because it wasn't the third hour of being shhssed and confined. She was pretty tired by the end of the day-- our church is now 11-2, but it was a great Sabbath. Bless the nursery teachers!
Cora also has four new teeth. Her eye-teeth have been working their way through and have all appeared now. That makes 16 teeth for our little girl. So grown-up!
Cora has fully mastered the stairs now. She probably has for a while now, but it helped our confidence a lot watching her go up and down easily at my parents' house at Christmas. We took our baby gate down and it's been nice! Cora now thinks the unfinished basement in her own new playground, so we did childproof the door at the bottom of the stairs, but she still likes to climb up and down and practise her skills. It's great not to have to hop over it to grab food from the storage room or when I go exercise-- especially when I'm not as good at hopping and balancing now!
I am still feeling really well, just starting to get tired again and dealing with aching hips at night. I've started the third trimester now, and am going to the doctor every 2 weeks. We are starting to think more about names for the new baby girl and where we are going to put her! Our basement won't be done by then, so I think it will be a bassinet in our room for a while.

I'm so glad Cora likes Nursery! It will be great to be free for a few months before the new baby comes!
Aah, the joy of nursery! I'm so glad she did well- it can be so hard if a little one just cries and cries!(For the kid as well as the parents, and the nursery leaders!) Way to go, Cora!
I can tell she has changed so much- doing the stairs already!? Wow. That's awesome!
I hope you feel good and have lots of energy. I think aching hips STINK! May it pass quickly for you!!
Nursery is such a gift :). And how nice that you get a little break at church before the new baby comes.
