Here's the latest news about Coral!
January 16,2001: Coral's first DOUBLE ear infection. The doctor has informed her that two at once is the limit.
January 4, 2001: Coral upgrades shoes! Her little feet are growing, and she now wears a size six. Stride Rite is making a mint off of us.
January 1, 2001: Coral wakes up in Big Bear and watches the Rose Parade (with an occasional channel change to bowl games). Later she took her parents up an 8,500 foot pass, and down to a play area by the road.
December 16, 2000: Christmas is coming, so it's picture day. Coral and parents visited the vast grassy expanse of Westchester Park to take a photo for their Holiday Cards. Somehow, Coral managed to wear her cute Christmas dress, pose with a tuba, look towards the Sun, and stay still long enough to get some cute photos taken. What a trooper!
November 15, 2000: Coral's first UCLA Basketball game of the season! She really enjoyed seeing the Bruins whip the California All-Stars.
October 31, 2000: Halloween! Coral dressed up as a lady bug and visited the neighbors. She got lots of treats she's too young to eat. :-)
October 29, 2000: Coral's First Birthday party! Sure, it was the only day all Fall that it rained, but that didn't put a damper on the party girl. She was able to have her cake and eat it too!
September 11, 2000: Coral gets her first BIG GIRL shoes. They're a pair of cute little tennis shoes with ankle support in size 4 wide. It took her about a day to re-learn how to walk in them, but now she happily toddles everywhere!
September 9, 2000: Coral attended her first UCLA football game today. She had a nice time pre-partying under the oaks outside the Rose Bowl, and really got a kick out of the game itself. She did her best to check out each of the 40,000 people in attendance while rooting the Bruins on to victory over Fresno St.
August 28, 2000: Coral takes her first steps!!!
August 25, 2000: Coral went on her first camping trip, to McGrath State Beach in Ventura County. She really liked crawling through the campground, and thought the beach was full of yummy sand!
June and July 2000: Coral makes an East Coast tour, including Boston, Maine, Quebec, Montreal, Cape Cod, and Ben & Jerry's factory in Vermont! Plus, she saw a moose in the wild, and got to put her feet into the Atlantic Ocean.
June 15, 2000: Coral now has 6 teeth; four on top, and two on the bottom. they make for a lovely smile!
June 1, 2000: Coral is now crawling. Life will never be the same for our poor cats...
May 30, 2000: Coral went to her second baseball game, and wore her little Dodger outfit. The best part is that she was spotted by the roving Dodger video crew, and got her picture up on Diamond Vision in the second inning!
May 20, 2000: Coral has started to buzz her lips together the way a brass player would. This is *highly* exciting for me as it is a clear omen that Coral will embrace the "Low Brass Lifestyle" later in her life. Heather and I have dubbed her buzzing "PTV", or "Proto-Tuba Vibrations". She makes this sound at random intervals, including while feeding (which gets a little messy).
May 16, 2000: Coral gets her first tooth! It's in front on the bottom. So far, she's cool with it...
May 14, 2000: Mother's Day! Coral joins her parents, grandparents, aunt and cousin in a picnic at Will Rogers State Park. Photos coming soon!
May 10, 2000: Coral's first ear infection. Fortunately, she seems to be able to handle Amoxicillin, so this should be gone soon.
