I'm doing a little experimenting with the pictures, trying to figure out how best to include them. These are from last week, Cora & Olivia playing in the backyard.
Olivia had her sixth month checkup today. She weighs 15 pounds 8 ounces and is 27 inches long. She also had two shots today, and big sister tried to help her feel better. I think Olivia took it pretty well, she needed to nurse for a little while and then she seemed her usual happy self. Olivia was ready to leave before Cora was, Cora found the toys and books at the doctor's office very fascinating.
A few days ago I bumped my knee on the kitchen table and Cora told me, "Don't worry, be happy." On Sunday we went down to Sacramento for Aunt Jenny's birthday party and on the return trip, at night, I was singing to Cora. She started singing as well, but then she started making up her own words, "I miss Daddy so much." She was eager to get home! When Cora is tired she will often twirl her fingers in her hair. Lately she has twirled it so well that she gets her finger stuck. She did this in the car on the trip home and was able to pull her finger out the first time. The second time she couldn't get it unstuck and she eventually fell asleep with her hand up against her head!
Yesterday morning Cora was watching cartoons when the character asked, "Do you have a best friend?" Cora's reply, "Olivia!"
