Village Life

Still enjoying our holiday... Here are shots of Nan with Cora in the cafe, Dad with Cora on her first visit to a pub (The George), and Mom and Cora at the Pinnacle, a Martock landmark. The weather has stayed decent, but the forecasters are calling for rain, cold and wind for Sunday and Monday, which figures as Monday is a big national holiday here.
We haven't been up to much, but it's been very relaxing and fun to show Cora off. On Thursday afternoon we made it up to Ham Hill, which offers beautiful views of the surrounding countryside and villages.
Cora is doing great. Wednesday and Thursday nights, she went to sleep easily at night and slept through to 7:30, so she's sleeping nearly as well as she does at home. She has been making great baby noises a lot more often, including a new screeching sound yesterday morning. She's happy to pass out smiles to all the new people she's meeting. Still not much progress getting her to take bottles again, though Sue has bought some new nipples we're trying out. Everyone has been impressed with how well she's holding her head up - with her neck strength, she's much easier to carry around, and I'm just about able to carry her with one arm for lengthy periods of time.
