My little yogi

Do any of you do yoga? You know when you get in a particularly challenging pose, when you're stretched as far as you can go, and then you just relax into it and breathe into it, and all of the sudden you find yourself sinking further and further into it until you're way past where you thought was your limit?

That's the best way I can describe Cora's newest quirk.

She'll be sitting upright on my lap with her legs out in front of her and will begin to bend forward until she's in about a 45 degree angle and halts. Then slowly, slowly, she keeps bending further and further until her nose is nearly between her feet. She looks like she's folded in half.

And I still haven't figured out why she's doing this. Is she fascinated by her feet? She doesn't really grab them when she gets to them, but perhaps she's just trying to get a closer look? She's shoving everything in her mouth these days (and I mean shoving), so perhaps she thinks all those little piggies would be fun to gnaw on. Who knows?

Or maybe all that prenatal yoga got through to her early.

We're also getting really ready to see some family. My Aunt Mileta and Uncle Carter are coming up for a visit. They're flying into DC to see my cousin Jerrod, their son/my cousin, who is in grad school there, and his girlfriend Shana, and they are all coming down to spend a few days in the area, so they're going to get to meet Cora. Yay! Aunt Mileta has already said how excited she is that she won't have to share her with the rest of the family and can have her all to herself. Aunt Mileta was the person who acted most excited out of everyone when we told the family that we were having a baby last Christmas, so she's definitely due for some Cora time.

Then, next weekend, Sparkypants and I are flying to Texas to visit/meet the rest of the family. (For those of you shuddering right now, Sparkypants is the baby, not Coleman.) We're very excited and hope to see many of you very soon.
