18 months and growing

Cora is 18 months old! She is a little sponge, soaking up everything around her. Here are some details about Cora:
She tries so hard to mimic new words that she hears, sometimes getting close, often sounding like adorable gibberish!

She is into climbing ladders on things: ladders, couches, chairs, etc.

She hasn't quite figured out how to run yet, but it just may not be in her nature to want to. She never was a fast crawler, never seemed in a hurry and that hasn't changed now.

She is still a good eater and will eat almost anything we put in front of her, and a lot of it! She even ate chips and (medium) salsa with Brad and I the other day...not much but a few bites. The only thing she seems to really dislike is plain meat. If the meat is part of something else, like a casserole, she'll eat it all up.

She still really enjoys going for walks in the stroller and has come to like going for bike rides in the trailer.

She LOVES babies! Any picture of a baby excites her and she loves to nurture her baby doll. She feeds her, tries to clothe her, pats her back, and pushes her in the toy stroller around the house.

She can point to her nose, eyes, ears, mouth, hair/head, feet and belly button.
She's becoming a very brave swimmer, blowing bubbles with her mouth in the water and attempting to swim on her own. It definitely keeps us on our toes.

I think she's finally down to one nap a day, but it's still a little bit of a stretch for her to make it from waking up in the morning to nap time, and from nap time to bedtime, but two naps usually never happens so hopefully she'll adjust quickly to the new schedule.

I just wrote a bunch of other stuff on a recent post so I'll quit here. She sure is a joy! And what a blessing she is to Brad and me. Thank you, Lord, for our precious little girl!
