she's a relatively tall one for her age- in the 82nd percentile for height (at 30.25inches); but rather thin as she's only in the 38th percentile for weight (20lbs).
i promise we're not starving her. she's just a picky eater. cheerios and oatmeal are the two things she doesn't reject on a regular basis.
however, if i fed her cake for breakfast, lunch and dinner i could probably guarantee we'd have an obese child in no time- she's a champ at eating sweets (just like her mother).
her new skills include:
- walking! although after a pretty rough tumble on the concrete she's pretty cautious about just toddling around on her own. she prefers a helping hand for security purposes. but when she does venture out on her own, it's usually accompanied by her shouting "go! go! go! go!" until she loses her balance and falls on her bum.
- knowing the word "dog", and applying the term not only to dogs, but to frogs, ducks, pigs, and horses.
- knowing where her tummy, eyes, and nose are. she also knows how to say "eye".
- nodding her head in the affirmative.
- knowing the hand signs to patty-cake and the itsy-bitsy spider.
- singing. it's cute.
- smiling to show off her two new front teeth! (that makes four of them. i'm proud of my little late bloomer!)

nora's also becoming a little social butterfly- she loves waving and saying "hi" to all of the children she sees at the store. we're also trying to get her used to newborns... but she doesn't seem as interested in them as she does older kids (she might be in for a rude awakening here in a couple weeks... we'll see!)
