Two months home

 We've been home over two months now. Medhanit now says about 25 words in English, about 5 in Amharic and just said her first 2-word sentence to her dolly: "Hi Baby".

I am back at work, but this week Medhanit has to come to my office as she developed Chicken Pox from the vaccine. She is utterly bored and mad to be stuck in my little office all day.
She is walking all over the place and learning to walk up stairs. I am amazed at the speed of her progress, but mostly proud



 

6 weeks home and Medhanit is doing great

Medhanit is on superspeed learning. She now says about 12 words in English and signs six. She understands most things I ask her or tell her about (I think). She walks between 2 - 10 steps, depending on her mood. She loves bananas, bread in any form, fruits and some vegetables, and yogurt. She sleeps 2 naps and almost always sleeps through the night for 9-10 hours. She is still working on trusting me and doesn't let too many people hold her. For now, she wants me within her eyesight or at least around the corner. She's very cuddly, loves being rocked, and holds good eye contact. We are definately attaching well. I have two more weeks before I go back to work and I'm not looking forward to it. I really wish I had at least 6 months at home with her. Here's a few photos since we returned.
