Cora's 6th Birthday

This beauty is 6 years old now!  as of 10:07 this morning, she's 6.  I still remember her arriving, and those first few months with her.  It was the best thing ever...  such sweet sounds from her, so cuddly.  I just can't believe she's 6!!!

Cora May challenges us every day, still to this day.  To be honest, she's really pushed my buttons over the past couple weeks.  Like bad!  She's had a terrible mouth on her (talking back basically), and just hasn't been all that 'fun'.  (I'm just being honest!)  :)  But she can look at me and give me a hug, and all is better in the world.  She has the biggest heart and such a caring little mind.  Along with her being fiesty, she wants the last word, she likes to say "no", she thinks lying is ok, but she's a little girl.  We have to pick our battles with her... and when we do, things go much smoother.  :)

We had a great day tho.  She wrapped up a couple hours with her friends at daycare.  K and I picked her up, went for lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings (her choice), then picked up Beckett and Easton and went to Glazed Expressions to paint!  She LOVED it.  I was a little hesitant once we got there, but she dove right in, and knew exactly what she wanted to do, and concentrated the whole time.  We then just played at the house a little... and she opened her gifts from us. 
She had a great day!  

Love you so much Cora May.

Basic info:

• Clothes - The little girl still has a super long torso!  Crazy!  She's wearing 6x for sure, and some brands, she can go to the 7/8 (but sometimes those are pretty wide on her)  
• Shoes - her feet have grown!  We are now in 13s!
• Diapers - size 7 (bedtime).  Yes, she still does diapers at night (pull-ups are too expensive!)...  so we do diapers.  She's like her brother - SOAKS it at bedtime, sleeps hard.  It's on our list to get this handled (with the alarm system), but not going to lie - I hate the thought of her waking up in the middle of the night!  ha.  #lazymomma
• iPad lover.  Yep, she uses "her" iPad now, and runs that thing like she's the boss. She watches YouTube videos of dolls, LOLs, dancing and many other little girl things. 
• She's still a singer - except now, she likes to lip-sing and watch herself in the mirror.  So funny.  She's a good little dancer... and I'm anxious to see how she does in true dance (which starts soon!)
• She's still attached to her 'softie' and blanket - needs them when she's tired/bedtime.  
• Eating is that of a little girl.  or a little Taylor girl!  She still eats the same stuff...  isn't fond of trying new things, but she's growing.  So I guess we are ok.  With school starting, I'm very curious how she will do eating hot lunch at school everyday.  Say a prayer for her!  ha.  
• Bed - she's a great sleeper, always has been.  And now that daycare took away naps (in about May of this year), she falls asleep within MINUTES!  It's the best thing ever!! 
• She's loud.  Just loud.  And she's a talker.  There are many times we have to tell her to just 'be quiet'.  I'm sure others around us don't appreciate that, but she's loud and she interrupts a lot too.  Lots of growing up to do!!! 
• She loves her brother.  Whether she'll contest to that or not.  She LOVES Kayson.
