30 months........

Can you believe she is 2 1/2?!?  Some days it feels like an eternity ago that we were bringing her home from the hospital only to return 2 weeks later and stay for what seemed like an eternity withj RSV!  And to think at that time, I thought it was the absolute worst thing that could ever happen to me as a parent-- having both my kids in the hospital...pitiful.  Little did I know what the next few years had in store for us.  This little girl has brought so much joy into our lives and has made us cherish the small milestones that tend to get over looked in the second child.  We have learned not to take her or her capabilities for granted.  Because of that, we are beyond thrilled at the progress she has made recently.
Stats according to the Endo visit:  32.5" tall (since October she has grown 1"), 25 lbs (the girl can eat anything in front of her!!), still in size 3 diapers, and she went clothes shopping this weekend and bought 18month shorts :).  Her height still isn't on the growth chart but her weight was 3-5%.  This is a first for her ;)

Recent vocabulary:  yewow(yellow), pupa (purple), ruh (truck), eeee(ear)--imagine a very funny face exagerating a long E sound!, baball (baseball), and tuh(Chuck) he is the maintenance man at her school and the only name that she will say there!!
She is starting to put 2 words combinations together.  Yellow hat, papa's truck, etc.  But she floored me Saturday when she came in my bedroom with her pant leg soaking wet.  I asked her how it got wet and she looked at me and said "Pan, dog, eeee, wawa."  this translates into pants, dog, eat, water and meant she got her pants wet stepping in the dog's water bowl!!  And sure enough, she had spilled Addy's water bowl all over the kitchen floor and we sure couldn't be mad at her after that!

Speaking of her discipline, I met with her teachers this week who expressed a little concern about Cohen starting to test the boundaries with different people.  I told them that we were definitely lacking in the discipline department mainly because we felt guilty that she has been through so much and we tend to just let her be.  So we are starting to have to add a few timeouts here and there to give her some boundaries!

We love our little Coco soo much and even Kinson is starting to like her a tiny bit :)
