So, the days just before our computer died were hot as Hades, over 100 degrees. We went to the beach and played in the pool to stay cool. Also, Cora had her first smoothie, which she really liked. She drank just about the whole thing over the course of an hour. She's getting good at drinking out of a straw now, and I've bought her two kiddie cups with flexible silicone straws instead of spouts. They look a lot more grownup, though she still uses her spout cups too.
For Christmas, Cora's Nanny got her an animal train. This is the little wagon the train pulls along. Cora has taken to using it as a walker toy, even though it's very low to the ground. She also likes to push around boxes of all sizes, our corner table and her high chair. All this practice will hopefully be paying off in a few weeks, when Cora has been asked to serve as flower girl in my cousin Elizabeth's wedding!
Cora continues to love playing with Somer. She likes to share her toys and books with the cat, showing them to her by hitting the cat on the head with whatever toy/book she is playing with. Yesterday I caught Cora tapping her animal cracker into Somer's head. In the above photo, she is emptying her small box of little toys onto Somer, and then picking the toys up and putting them back in the box, before returning them to the chair. This is what I found her doing when I realized the house was too quiet.
And in another instance when we found the house too quiet, Stace found Cora rearranging our pantry. She had managed to crawl in behind the trash can, and obviously doesn't seem too happy about being found.
Cora definitely has her own mind these days. She is not above throwing fits when we don't go along with what she wants to do. Over the weekend we went to visit our friends
David and Melanie, and Cora was playing with my cell phone. As I was awaiting a call from a realtor who was taking clients to look at our condo the next day, I took the phone away from her. Whoa!!! What a fit, her worst yet. Always nice to share those moments with your (as yet) childless friends! She also has been pinching my arms when I'm changing her diaper. Lovely! On the other hand, she also can be very affectionate, and likes to sit in my lap for stories. She brings books for me to read and then settles in. She gives hugs and kisses, and has recently been kissing the phone when she speaks to Nan and Nanny in England.

Wow! Yay for new computers, esp laptops! I have to add, Cora's hair is looking so cute! And I like her "ug, you found me" face, too. :)
