moor, please: 14 Months/ 18 weeks

Cora is 14 months old.

She is finally drinking out of a sippy cup or straw cup that isn't leaking everywhere. They still leak a little bit but we are so happy that she has mastered the no spill cups. She has 9 teeth. 4 on top and 4 on bottom plus one molar (more arriving soon)!

Cora is wearing a size 3 diaper - size 4 overnight. She is in 12-18 month clothes. Her newest favorite food of the month is squash. She seriously ate 2 entire squash at one meal. She is a hungry monkey. She is walking pretty much 100% of the time. She is actually a good walker. She loves her some shoes (sometimes loves taking them off) but the shoe itself she loves. She is talking and also babbling all the time. Someone asked me how many words she says. I would guess about 10-15. The ones I can remember at the moment: Uh Oh!, Whoa!, Dada, MaMa, All Done, Diaper (sounds like Biper), Night Night, Thank you, Shoes, Yeah, yeah, yeah. She understands words like Milk, Eat & Hungry, Outside, Inside and Bath. At the mention of these words Cora starts heading toward the correct location (fridge, her eat seat, stairs, or Connor's room - her favorite way to get to the bathtub). She also knows what all fruit snack packages look like and will beg for at least 3 packages if she sees 1. Cora is climbing the stairs (by crawling) and can scoot/slide down on her stomach too. Of course our stairs are too hard and slick to do that. She wants to walk up and down the stairs after watching Madelyn, Jenna and Josh.

We recently returned from a week long trip to Baltimore. We had a great week and learned something new about Cora. She loves Carpet - real carpet. We have some carpet in our house but it isn't plush. Cora loved the carpet at her grandparent's house.

Cora is also riding her riding toys instead of just being able to climb on and sit. She is on the move and really loves going in circles around the house. She has also found a new use for the toys. Climbing on the couch. Just a little dangerous and by the photo you can tell she is quick.
