What a slacker Blogger i am!






Actually, i am not a slacker blogger but the last two blogs i wrote were somehow "lost" in the blogging system so i just got mad and didn't redo them. But my temper tantrum is over and here we go again.

Cori and i went to the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery last week. It was a blast. Cori and i went first to the tidal pool where after petting a purple starfish we were asked to leave the area. Apparently you aren't supposed to let your kids splash in the water of the tidal pool. I guess they are trying to raise sissy starfish because you KNOW the ocean is a lot more dangerous than a couple of splashes by Cori! :) Off we then went to see the animals of Ohio. Cori saw an opossum, a fox, some groundhogs, a bobcat and a raven. Which started me thinking that maybe Mom and Dad should start charging $7.50 a head to come out to their house. Ok, well maybe only $6.50 since i am pretty sure they haven't had a bobcat on the property anytime recently.

Cori dressed up like a fireman, bought asparagus in the kids general store, gave a lecture to an elderly man about stuffed animals, danced in the electro light room, and rode a petrified turtle. She will have even more fun when she is older but we had a great time!!

Vaccinations and well baby check:
Cori had her 15 month check up on Friday. (even though she will be 16 months in a few days) She is in the %25 for height and the %50 for weight. The doctor still wants me to fatten her up some as she has only gained a pound since her 1 year check. She has grown a half an inch since then as well. Verbally, she is off the charts. And her hand-eye coordination is also above average. Adam and i were also above average at this stage in our lives and you can see where that has gotten us, so we aren't calling Harvard and making a reservation just yet! She is a perfectly healthy, wonderful, smart little girl. (shameless brag) I just hope she makes enough money someday to support her parents in their old age.

Pool Party:
Sunday night the family went to the pool party that my curch sponsors every year. It was at the Dolphin Swim Club. They have a really nice baby pool. I was trying to convince Adam to construct one in our back yard just like it. Needless to say, he didn't go for it. (Although it would be way cool!) Cori and i had fun swimming and Daddy watched from the edge. Cori has no fear of swimming or water. She fell down in the baby pool about 4 times and went completely under each time. When i grabbed her up she was all smiles and sputters and wanted right back down in the water. "Down" is another new word for Cori, along with "Please", "Shoes", "Ocks" (for socks), "Eyes", "Nose" and "Ut" for up. The verbal explosion is just coming right along.

Sorry it took so long to update. I have pictures to post as well, just as soon as i get them back from Kroger.
