Five months today! Cora’s talking has really ramped up, and so has her volume - especially in quiet places such as the Young Single Adult Ward’s Relief Society meeting. I warn everyone that sits near us of her pterodactyl squeals. Her grabbing has really improved: she can grab at all the toys hanging from her activity mat, bring toys to her mouth, and pass them from one hand to the other. I almost can’t remember what it was like when she couldn’t grab stuff. She rolled over for the first time this month! From her tummy to her back. She did it alone five separate times on the day she did it, but since then she’s needed a little help each time. She’s getting closer to rolling from her back to her tummy thanks to the back-arching technique that she’s mastered. She is already an international traveler as she went to Mexico with us and Mike’s family this month! She did a little better on the plane than we expected. And she did okay in Mexico - there were just so many exciting things to see and hear, that by the end of the day she was way overstimulated and overtired and cried all through our fancy dinners at the resort. We just discovered that she will laugh without restraint when we bounce her in the jumper (the kind that attaches to the door frame) and chant “bouncy, bouncy, bouncy” to her. Stats: 24 inches long. 13 pounds, 4 ounces (according to our backpacking scale). *About her outfit: I’m not in the habit of dressing her in short-sleeves in the winter. She had a blowout at church and it got on her long-sleeve undershirt. All I had to replace it was a short-sleeve onesie.
