I had my checkup with my midwife on Wednesday last week, right before Cora and I drove to Boise. She also weighed Cora, who now is a whopping 10 pounds 3 ounces!
Cora is talking tons now, smiling lots, and beginning to bat at objects in front of her. She also starting grabbing, and she has a very tight hold! She got a couple of handfuls of Grandma Jan's hair in Boise, and if she's still awake at all, she grabs Kevin's shirt collar with a death hold when he's about to lay her down.
Last night she began discovering her ability to control her hands to get her fists in her mouth. She put them in several times (after we kept pulling them out to see if it was a coincidence) and loved licking and sucking on them.
We had a great time in Boise with Mom and Dad, Puppy, Shad and Jen, and their dogs London and Butterscotch. We played the ultimate Settlers game with both add-on sets-- Cities and Knights and Seafarers. Cora and I skipped out of waterskiing after a sleepless night, but the rest had a lot of fun out on the boat!
Cora didn't seem to mind the ride there much, but had a difficult ride back-- we think she was tired of her car seat because she was crying crying crying from Tremonton to Ogden, but smiled and played with us when we stopped for gas, and then tensed up and started crying some more when she had to go back into her car seat (and cried from Bountiful to home). I guess it's a lot to ask of a little girl to sit strapped in for so long!

It sounds like a really fun trip! I don't think I realized that shad and jen would be there too- that must have made it even better. But I have to admit that the double-expanded settlers game sounds a little long for me... we played enough settlers between boise and your house to last us until at least the family fun vacation next year!
