Bounce House!

To get away from the chilly wind today we headed to a wonderful, indoor bounce-house place in the local mall.

For $6.50 your kid (10 and under) can bounce around for an hour (Noelle made it 40 min before she wanted a snack). Only $1 more gets you another hour. Frankly, I'm surprised this place wasn't packed. $6.50 for peace from the energy of a cooped-up toddler sounds like a deal to me!

They have a toddler bounce house and three larger bounce houses. We started in the toddler area.

Really, this is it?

If you know Noelle, you'll already have guessed that she lasted about 2 minutes in the toddler area. Then, it was on to the fun stuff!

On top of the world!

Weeee (Clearly, iPhone needs a faster shutter speed)

Cora, for her part, has been extremely busy. She seems to have really entered the 'baby' stage and is definitely no longer an 'infant'. She's making cute babbling noises, rolling all over the place, and seems interested in everything. Of particular interest is a play station she got for Christmas. She spends 15-20 minutes at a time perfectly happy in there. 

Serious business, this playing

Finally, I'll leave you with a little clip of the sisters together =)

Noelle loves taking care of Cora

First Tooth and New Couch

Cora cut her first tooth yesterday. We were pretty surprised she is teething already; not because it's earlier then normal for babies, but because Noelle didn't get her first tooth for almost two more months! Here is a cute clip of Cora alleviating her sore gums. I have found yet another use for the wonderful frozen grape =)

Ah, that's better

Yesterday our rental couches were picked up so the couches that we ordered could be delivered today. Noelle took advantage of the one night of big, open space in our living room!

Toddler play!

Finally, the couches arrived today! That was another fun-filled activity for Noelle; pillows everywhere! Now, we have lovely new furniture to relax on =)

That's a big couch for a little girl!
