It's hard to believe Corabelle is already 15 months! She's still not walking, but she makes up for that in crawling fast and climbing everything she can.

Cora loves to talk and smile. She's our cuddler, and smiles at just about everyone that she meets. She has a pretty decent handful of words, but she babbles like there is something very important she needs to tell us. Sentences, stories even. She's very observant, and will start barking when she hears dogs barking outside, and meow when we walk by cats in the street. She finds most things funny, and loves anything music related so that she can sing along or dance. She loves books, and I often find her in your room, just paging through all her books (as she throws them all over the floor). She loves to give hugs and kisses before bed and really anytime she can sneak in a slobbery kiss, gives high fives, and knows a few body parts (tummy, mouth). Everything seems to be mouth? She must really love her mouth, ha!


Although Cora's not walking yet, she is sure keeping us on our toes! This girl is a stubborn one, but in different ways than her sister. She likes to do what she wants, when she wants, and she makes her wants known. She's been known to throw tantrums that result in her laying on the floor crying for up to 5 minutes simply because we told her she couldn't do something dangerous (like climb the step stool). I'm convinced that when she starts to walk, it will be a full out run because I'm quite sure she knows how to walk, she just doesn't want to. She has technically taken her first few steps on her own, but only a few times and only to Emmeline. Otherwise, she can't be bothered to walk, unless she's holding on to one of our hands.


We got a lot of teeth over the past couple of months, including the molars (3 at once). As usual, she's pretty grumpy and sleepy with the teething, not wanting to eat. Once she's back to eating though, she loves it. She eats as much as I do at breakfast, and loves most things we offer her. Except vegetables. The only ones she'll even touch now are broccoli and corn, oh boy! I've had to get creative mixing them into things for her to eat, like muffins and meatballs.


Still on 2 naps, but it's about time to switch over. Since about 13 months, I've had to limit the morning nap otherwise she won't go down for the afternoon one until way too late in the afternoon. She probably could have switched to 1 by now, but it's nice to have the flexibility to be out and about in the morning with a cat nap instead of rushing home for a lunch time nap!

It's been a fun few months watching Cora's personality develop and learn every day. She loves to copy everything Emmeline does, and hopefully by our next update she'll be walking and chasing Emmeline around!
