First labs and Doctor's appointment

Kora had her first medical tests and appointments last week.  First, she had to go have blood drawn for her labs.  The worst part wasn't the poke with the needle, but holding her still and keeping her right arm pinned down.  But she recovered pretty quickly afterwards.  All her labs were normal, so that's good.  The doctor's appointment was tougher for her.  Kora was okay with the doctor and nurse at first, but by the end she was over her limit of tolerating strangers touching her and trying to do things with her.  She also had to have 5 vaccinations and a hearing test.  She didn't make it through the hearing exam so we'll have to try that again another day.  Kora is okay with strangers as long as they keep their distance.

Kora is getting more teeth, so he has been more irritable at times.  But she still sleeps pretty well.  She's getting better with tolerating baths.  She is okay with her body, arms, and legs getting wet for a little bit, but she absolutely hates her head wet. 

She continues to crawl all over the place and pulls herself up to kneeling against furniture.  She'll stand for short periods if you stand her up against furniture or hold her hands.
