Almost 18 Months Old

Cora will be 1.5 in one week! Her 18 month check up was today. Despite the fact that she is recovering from pneumonia, the doctor said that she looks great. That's right- pneumonia! We went to the doctor last week because of a cough and fever. She told us it was bronchitis but noted in Cora's chart that it was indeed pneumonia in her left lung. We think that she didn't want to cause unnecessary panic. Smart doc. She will take a couple of more weeks to recover from the cough but her lungs sound good already.

The Stats-

Weight: 25 lbs, 5.5 oz (75%)

Head Circumference: 47 3/4 cm (88%)

LENGTH: drum roll, please- 34.5 inches ("off the charts") height of an average 28 month old!

I figure that this is a good time to post some of the wonderful things that our sweetie is doing now. Of course, I can't list them all but here are a few of the cutest.

holding her hands together during the blessing and nighttime prayers and saying, "May-men" at the end
saying "no" a lot
counting to two, leaving out the one... :)
hiding things for us to find
saying "he-wow" every time the phone rings
playing in her kitchen and feeding us and the dogs gourment meals
renaming our dogs Sissy (Daisy) and Co Co (Chloe)
singing "Oh Shoes" over and over and over and over... She made this song up herself.
being OBSESSED with her "bank-ets"
pee peeing in the potty occasionally
saying ouch and requiring a kiss every time she says it
also kissing us when we say ouch
being so sweet to her baby dolls

Cora has a huge vocabulary. Here are some of our favorite words:
Mama
Daddy
bus
spicy
Papa
sit- I promise she is saying "sit" and not another word that has an h between the s and i, especially when we go by the row of couches at Sams...
banket (blanket)
paci

She is doing and saying so much now. There is no way to post it all! I'll be back with more pictures at her real half birthday!
