Three-year doctor's visit

Cora and I went to her three-year well-check appointment today, and she is well.

She now weighs 28.4 pounds, putting her in the 20 percentile. She's gained five pounds since her appointment a year ago, when she weighed only in the 10th percentile!

She was 35 1/2 inches tall, putting her in the 28th percentile. A year ago, she was 33 inches tall, also in the 28th percentile.

For the first time, the nurse took Cora's blood pressure, with a friendly lizard monitor. Her BP was a very healthy 84 over 62.

Dr. Brockett said Cora seemed very healthy and articulate. She also said that the lingering wet cough she has had for a week or so might last for many more weeks. It's just going around and tough to get rid of.

Thankfully, she added that Cora is not contagious, even though she sounds pretty awful.

Lastly, Cora had to have one vaccine, and she handled it bravely. She cried during the shot, but calmed down pretty quickly and regained a pleasant attitude.

One cute Coraism: the other day, Cora had on a new-to-her pair of jeans from a big bag of clothes I found while looking through our baby stuff.
Stace: "Cora, I like your trousers. Where did you get those?"
Cora: "Starbucks."
Stace: "Starbucks? Really?"
Cora: "No. CVS."
(CVS is a drug store we frequent.)
