The Teen Mom OG alum held his arm high and pointed the camera at himself and his baby mama, Taylor Selfridge, 28.
Taylor – who had a face mask on – carried Maya in her arm and moved her wrist back and forth.
The MTV stars appeared in good spirits as they danced with their little one before heading “on our way home.”
Behind the face mask, Cory appeared unshaven, and his hair seemed disheveled.

In the following Story, the reality star revealed: “Maya had her procedure done Tuesday and then got diagnosed with RSV (Respiratory syncytial virus).
“So it’s been a lot for us, to say the least.”
‘A HELPLESS FEELING’
The Teen Mom stars have been through an emotional roller-coaster ride as they recently rushed Maya to the hospital.
The Challenge star revealed: “She wasn’t getting enough oxygen and was struggling to breathe.

“Watching your child struggle for air is such a helpless feeling. Never again, I pray.”
Cory shared a photo of Maya wearing an oxygen mask during her ambulance and at the hospital.
He wrote: “Got the little oxygen mask going to the hospital we had surgery at.
“This little girl has been through so much already, but you can see she’s calm and stable.
Cory closed: “Just praying it doesn’t get worse. I feel bad you can see it in her eyes. She’s scared.”
Taylor also shared a video of Maya with an oxygen tube in her nose and other machines hooked up to her.
She said: “Doing better. Still have to be on a little oxygen because she’s dropping a little below her point when she’s sleeping. Maya’s normal oxygen is between 75-85% for her heart condition.
“It mainly affects her lungs because that is the part of her heart that is missing. “
MAYA’S BIRTH DEFECT
Back in June, Maya Grace Wharton was born with a form of congenital heart disease.
Maya was diagnosed with Tricuspid Atresia, a birth defect of the heart where the valve controls the blood flow, according to the CDC.
Cory explained that the “heart’s tricuspid valve” played a part “in the heart’s essential function, which is to pump blood between the lungs and body.”
‘IT’S SCARY’
In a short video, the MTV couple also revealed what was in store for the little girl after her “scary” health diagnosis.
Taylor mentioned: “The first one [surgery] would be the first week of her life. The second would be around six months, and the third would be around two years old.
“And these are all open-heart surgeries, like, these are all very significant.”
Cory confessed: “It’s scary.”
