Outside

Cora LOVES being outside! She loves picking up rocks, bark, touching flowers, and running up and down the berms. If we go on a walk without her stroller, I know it's going to be a very long walk with all the exploring she does. Cora will stand by the patio door, look and the window, and make it clear she would rather be outside, even if it's raining! Here's some of our pics from after our walk to the park this afternoon.

You can see our finally finished summer project: a new fence! All nice and stained now too.

Cora's Agenda

So, this morning I put Cora's socks on her when I got her dressed. Promptly afterwards, she grabbed her shoes and made it clear she wanted me to put them on. Finally I did, and then she ran to the laundry room and was upset when I tried to shoo her out and shut the door. I realized she was pointing to my shoes! She was much happier after I put my shoes on. Then she pulled me to the door and reached up as high as she could to try to open it (she's still lacking about 6 inches). She was very happy when she finally got me outside and she could run around in the backyard for a little while. I guess she's got the routine down!

Cora's Current Vocabulary

Daddy, up, dog, duck, quack, peekaboo, ut-oh, hi, bye, cheese, dip, two, oh no, button -- and there might be a few more to that I'm not remembering right now!

Cora can also point to her hair, nose, eyes, ears, and her very favorite, belly button.
