five months old :)

this is cora fayne's five month post...

one day late.

i'm getting better. :)

you are now babbling...a lot!

you don't really cry, per se, when your hungry...

it's more of an, 

"AYAYAYA"

it's the cutest. thing. ever.

you like to gnaw on your fingers...

and you love to laugh and smile...

you especially love your brothers and they can make you laugh like no one can.

and that makes my heart so happy!

plus you really like to jump in your jump hang. :)

cora fayne,

you are amazing.

you are growing so fast 

and i love you more and more everyday.

i can't wait to see how much you grow in the next month.

i will say months one to four were not too different,

but month four to five was intense!

you had a huge growth spurt and started sitting up, babbling, trying solids, and standing up really strong.

i love you so much, cora fayne.

"A Song You Can Play on an Instrument"

so i can definitely play this song on guitar,

and had high hopes to learn more, but dang!

playing guitar hurts your fingers like crazy!

so i learned this song and took "a break",

but haven't picked it up since.

whoops. :)

plus this song is like four chords total,

 one of which is an open chord. 

which is why i picked it...

great for beginners. 

Taylor Swift - Untouchable

(yes, she covered this song. it was originally done by luna halo)

sepTUNESber, day twenty-five

it's obviously too hard to decide on just one...

day twenty-five

"A Song that Makes You Laugh"

Andy Samberg is a genius.

most of the stuff he does on SNL is fantastic.

some can be a little too weird or far fetched, but for the most part, he's just plain hilarious.

here are some of my fave SNL digital shorts.

(Blogger won't let me post so many videos for some reason so the last three will just be links. sorry!)

Andy Samberg ft. Michael Bolton

 - Captain Jack Sparrow

who doesn't love Michael Bolton? Who?!

Andy Samberg ft. Nicki Minaj - The Creep

the hubs and i think it would be hilarious to dress up the whole fam as creeps, 

even cora fayne. :)

Andy Samberg ft. T-Pain - I'm On a Boat

you gotta love this one, right?!

Andy Samberg - Great Day

i don't know why, but i just love this song ;)

hope these gave you a good laugh!

sepTUNESber, day twenty-four

sorry i haven't posted in forever...

life has been totes cray cray.

(i say that with the utmost sarcasm by the way...

if you were to actually say "totes cray cray" in real life,

 i will make fun of you. just sayin'.)

day twenty-four

"A Song You Want to Play at Your Funeral"

i have no clue about this one.

seriously.

i have no.clue.

i guess i'll just pick this one for fun. :)

The Phantom of the Opera - 

The Point of No Return

haha, get it?

sepTUNESber, day twenty-three

well this is awkward...

day twenty-three

"A Song You Want to Play at Your Wedding"

...uhh...30 day song challenge...

i'm already married, thank you.

and if by this you are implying that i am too old to play this game

or too young to be married, 

well then you'd be wrong on both accounts. ;)

and since i am indeed married already, i will post two songs.

so take that challenge! ha!

this song was mine and the hubs first dance

Tim McGraw - My Best Friend

and now i'll pick a song that wasn't out yet, but kinda perfectly describes us.

and probably would have played at our wedding...

no i am not thirteen and a cheesy, starry-eyed fan girl.

and yes i know i've posted a lot of her songs.

whatevs. you'll get over it!

Taylor Swift - Love Story

(seriously though, if you know us at all, this song does actually describe us...just sayin')

have a great weekend, y'all! 

sepTUNESber, day twenty-two

well this theme of the day kinda suits my life right now...

day twenty-two

"A Song You Listen to When You're Sad"

not gonna lie...

this last week or so has been hard.

the boys have been relentless.

cora fayne's going through a growth spurt.

(all my nursing mama's know what that means!) 

and things aren't looking so good in the housing department.

there are just a lot of things i'm unsure about right now,

but as i always tell myself,

"this too shall pass".

these two songs are great.

they aren't necessarily songs you have to apply in the lyrical sense, but the overall feel to them are just plain ole depressing.

great for when you're feelin' blue. ;)

the first time i heard this song, it was off of the dixie chicks album...

i love that version.

of course the original by fleetwood mac is fantastic as well.

but i really love this cover by glee cast members

naya rivera, heather morris and gwenyth paltrow.

Glee Cast - Landslide

this song was originally produced as an upbeat kind of angry song...but then when she re-released her fearless album she added this "upgraded" version. love it.

Taylor Swift - Forever & Always 

(piano version)

time to just keep on, keepin' on.

sepTUNESber, day twenty-one

happy happy, joy joy.

what was that from?

Lord knows i don't remember...

day twenty-one

"A Song You Listen to When You're Happy"

i have a tendency to listen to owl city when i'm happy.

or when i need to be happy.

he's just so dang cheery.

adam young

 (he's the only guy in owl city...just fyi) 

has a blog that i like to read and you really get 

some insight into him and his life.

and he seems to be an all around cool guy.

funny. smart. christian.

what's not to like?

all that to say, when you feel like you kind of know a person, 

hearing the music just makes it that much more emotional, if you ask me,

and since he happens to write happy sounding music i think it makes me extra happy.

does any of this make any sense...?

oh well, enjoy a few of my faves.

Owl City - Ocean Eyes - Fireflies

(the song everyone should know)

Owl City - All Things Bright & Beautiful - 

Honey & the Bee

(new album, ft. Breanne)

speaking of his blog...a while back he wrote a post about meeting taylor swift and then buying her album and realizing that this song was actually about him!

{side note: she writes out all her lyrics in lowercase letters except for few that make a secret word 

pertaining to the song...

this song's secret code was A D A M}

 so he "wrote" back to her....on valentine's day....

gracious sakes, it's so cute i can barely stand it!

if you check out the post you can also see the letter he wrote to her. so sweet.

(hint: so much better if you listen to her song first...even if you're not a taylor fan! 

i know who you are...)

Owl City - Enchanted

sweetness like that just makes me giddy...

and on that mushy note...have an happy thursday, y'all!
