If I haven't mentioned it here yet, Cora can climb ladders. Really well. Better than a lot of 2.5-year-olds, even. She throws people off because she can do and say so many things that bigger kids do, yet she's only 18-months. And she can honestly pass for 12-15 months, since she's so short (and bald). We don't know whether it's her natural ability (this physical stuff, not the talking - we know that's a combo of many things, including genetics, her natural ability, having a big brother to talk to, the things she's learned at school/daycare, and our tendency to just simply talk to and with our kids from the start, like they're little people, not babies), or that we've just given her far more freedom than James had at this age (since we're no longer paranoid first time parents, we tend to let Cora attempt MANY more things than we ever did with James - it seems these days, once he figures something out, Cora is not far behind - monkey see, monkey do), but she's still impressing us and throwing us for a loop at every turn of the game. She's a problem solver. A critical thinker. An independent girl, for sure. She's 18-months going on 18...
I forgot to get a photo with Nicole the other day, so here we go! She is 15-weeks with baby #2 - a girl!
The kids decided to tackle Jay. And Jagger knew some wrestling moves...
It sure was a cute little toddler-friendly playground!
