You've had a birthday, shout hurray!

Cora had her first birthday! It was a busy day, but a fun one. We had an unexpected visit from Grandpa and Grandma, cupcakes, and fun with cousins. Here's our pictures!

Our patio party.

Cora loves frosting!

.... We even had to hose her chair to get all the purple frosting off!
So many fun presents from everyone-- Thankyou!Cora in her rocking chair from Kissie and Pata. She couldn't rock too much on the grass, but once we brought it in, she got the hang of it very quickly, and can even climb in and out of it too!

Stansbury cousins-- Brinley, Cora, Lincoln, Anna, and Addy.




I'm not sure Cora knew what to think of all the birthday happenings...



...But she sure liked playing with all the wrapping and tissue paper!

Cora has just taken one or two steps at a time.... until the 25th! She was up to about 10 steps this evening. We were so delighted with it, we kept making her do it again and again. I think she was pretty delighted with it too though.

Doctor Visit

Here are Cora's latest stats:

Height: 29 inches, 50th percentile
Weight: 18.5 pounds, 10th percentile

So she's stayed pretty consistent along her growth lines all year long!

The doctor also said that her little rash was from the virus she's had, not the amoxicillan, so it was good to know she's not allergic to it. It should go away in a few days. The doctor said Cora's ears are nice and clear now!
