Here is my munchkin on her 1 year birthday...
At 1 year....
Cora is a sweetheart! I have probably written that in many of these monthly updates but it continues to be true! She is such a little cuddlebug. When she is held, she likes to cuddle in and rest on your shoulder.
She is a quiet little girl. She keeps her voice to herself a lot but will also go on babble tangents. She says b words - baby, buh bye, and just babababa. She also says mama and dada. I think I have heard her say "up" but can't be certain if it wasn't just coincidence. She has also said hi. No baby sign yet, she just whines when she wants something!
Totally still a mama's girl. I love that we have a special bond but also wish she would go to others more freely at family events. If she is fussy or just got up from a nap, she needs me to hold her.
She loves to crawl and climb up on things. She crawls onto doll beds, the bumbo, her walker, the fireplace step, and right up the stairs if she ever notices a gate or door open.
She hasn't started walking independently and since I still think of her as a baby, I haven't given it much thought. With Elsie, I was always walking her around with her hands held and setting her up next to her walkers - things I should start to do with Cora. However, one of Cora's favorite things to do is push chairs around our kitchen and to stand near toys and push them around the basement, so she has kind of taken over with that on her own.
She is in the stage of exploring and likes to take everything out of its spot. She is very quick at finding little things and getting them in her mouth.
Her 4 top teeth have been pushing through over the last few weeks. That makes for some crabby days.
She is somewhat of a pickier eater - she loves bread, fruit, cheese, and noodles. She is not always good about eating veggies and meats which is what she needs more of according to her hemoglobin counts at the doctor. She still nurses in the morning and sometimes other random times too. She still has a bottle at night.
I can't find the stats from Cora's 1 year appointment! Matthew was just sorting through some papers and may have tossed it out. I think she was around 18 pounds at her appointment. I know she was in the 7th percentile for weight and the PA was slightly concerned about this because she was no longer following her growth curve. She is a peanut!
