On to the good stuff! Apparently our growth chart measuring is not accurate. According to the Dr's when Cora was 2 she was 36lbs and 36 inches. This visit she was 42lbs and 42 inches! Talk about being square! they were quite impressed. But also lets talk about growing SIX inches in one year! here I thought 4 was pretty amazing... 6?! Wow!
And onto Cora tidbits...
The reason why she is such a grower might be the fact that she is the best eater in the house! And she loves milk... if given free reign she'd probably drink a whole gallon each day.
Cora loves music.. particularly "Pop goes the weasel" and "The Nuthin' Song" (Zac Brown)
Cora loves to dance.. and not just at dance class.. she's always bopping around the house, showing us her spins and her "kips" (skips) she is very proud of her skips! Even when I sing her songs she's shrugging her shoulders to the beat.
Cora LOVES her babies.. I thought having the ridiculous amount of dolls that she owns at least half if not more would be abandoned.. nope! Every single doll has a place in this girls heart! She makes a point to play with them all.
Finally potty training is compete.. #1 was easy peasy at 2 years old.. #2 was annoyingly difficult!.. but we are in the clear now.. and she is even trained at night!! Must be a girl thing.. poor Cole might wear a pull-up forever!
Cora is great for your self confidence.. she tells me daily that I am the best Mommy ever! and that I am her best friend.. aww!! Thanks sweet girl! She is my best baby girl ever too!
Except... now that she is slowly entering the terrible threes.. twos were not nearly as much of a problem for our kids..but now that she is three, she has learned to screech when she is mad. and spit.. and throw things. So far ignoring and distraction have been the most effective ways to stop this new behaviour.
Cora has learned the art of dramatics... for example if someone else wins a game we are playing she immediately puts her head to the table and begins crying (fake tears of course).. she's playing us! The boys don't know what to make of it.. they scramble to make it so that she wins to make her stop!! She's got them wrapped around her finger!
Cora likes to hit.. especially Cole. She'll fall down in one room, walk into the other and hit Cole. then they get into a "but she/he started it" match.. oh boy.
Speaking of clumsy.. Cora is the definition! She falls off the kitchen table bench daily, she trip when walking.. I think I figure out why.. her feet are the same size as Cole's!!!
Cora loves Tinkerbell.. you can get her to do just about anything if you tell her Tinkerbell also does it.
She is currently obsessed with what day of the week it is.. she asks at least 5 times a day.. if she is not asking she is verifying that it is in fact 'X' day.
Apparently we've given her a big head.. when she gets dressed she now asks if she looks beautiful.
Cora loves books, particularly books about babies and/or princesses. She really loves "Ladybug Girl", the "Pinkalicious" books, and "Fancy Nancy" apparently Nancy is great for the three year olds vocabulary because yesterday she told me something was 'gorgeous'.
Cora has entered the fake smile stage.. it is tough to get a picture without that crazy fake smile!
I could go on and on.. but while I find all of this fascinating.. I'm probably becoming boring.. so now for a few photos we tried to take the other day.. since I am part of her dance class I can't really take pictures very well.. so we tried to take some at home a couple of weeks ago. We'll have to try again with real clothes soon.
Three years old going on thirteen! This girl makes us smile!
