Dear Cora,
I don't know if I can call you my most precocious baby, but you are definitely in the running for the title. You are advanced in so many ways. You really seem to "get" what is going on around you. You are able to follow directions that I wouldn't expect you to understand.
You are constantly surprising me with your cleverness. You love puzzles, and exclaim "I did it!" proudly, and give yourself a little clap when you get a piece in place. When you get stuck on a piece and frustrated, you call "Mom, help!". It is absolutely adorable to watch you learn, and to be able to speak what you are feeling!
You have been climbing since before you could walk. Your balance and agility is amazing. To watch you counter-balance as you lean to grab something out of the pool, or stand on the therapy swing and jump up and down...these are skills way beyond your age.
You are so sweet to your siblings, your cat, and your parents. Always giving hugs and kisses. You get sad when others are sad or fighting. As long as mommy is near, you are brave when you hear loud noises or things happen that make you nervous. You are always exploring, and pushing your boundaries. Your favorite place to play is on top of the dining room table, even though you know you aren't supposed to climb up there. You also enjoy trying to join in your big sisters imaginative play sessions, and amazingly seem to understand a lot of what is going on there as well.
You are a beautiful little girl inside and out. Your big brown sparkly eyes, cute little pouty lips, and your petite little body that is constantly in motion, combined with your sweet disposition and clever toddler mind are truly a blessing to our family. We are so lucky to have you, so lucky to know you, and so so lucky to get to watch and help you grow into an ever more beautiful young lady.
Love,
Your Mommy
