We've been busy the last couple of weeks, playing in a huge indoor kid play gym last weekend (which Cora LOVED), exploring the beautiful Gruyeres Castle this weekend and taking a train ride to Fribourg on my birthday on Thursday to see our Irish friends for a little celebrating.
We also discovered a new English speaking play group on Wednesdays at a cute little church in downtown Bern, which we will continue to attend. Cora is one of the smallest there, but also one of the cutest :) At the end of the play group they sing songs and Cora went out in to the middle and just twirled around and danced while everyone sang. Pretty cute stuff.
Cora had her follow-up appointment with her surgeon last week and all looked great! Phew, what a huge, huge relief. Now we just wait until she is two when the doctors will determine if she needs speech therapy, or any additional ear or palate work done. But for now, I can finally take a deep breath! Such a relief! Also, she had her 15 month shots and the doc says she seems healthy and strong. He didn't weigh her though, so who knows what she weighs at the moment. I'm guessing 20 lbs or so (but after hauling her up and down our damn 78 stairs over and over all day long she feels more like 50 pounds!).
Cora is still busy, busy, busy all day long. She loves to dance, stick her hands in Tanner's water bowl, hide our things, pretend to cook with her legos, pull out the dirt from our plants, climb up and down on the couch, read, and throw things in the bath tub. No matter what she is doing though, she has a serious agenda and is never still! She's also walking a lot more and can almost make it the entire way home from the grocery store (although it takes a long, long, long time).
The last couple of weeks we have been trying to find a new place to live for the next year or so, and are keeping pretty busy looking around. Hopefully a perfect, or close to perfect, place will find us. As long as there aren't 78 stairs to climb everyday though, I think we will be doing pretty well :)
