9 months home for Pei Pei

Here are a few of my favorite photos of Nyah from May... her ninth month in the S family!

Nyah May 2009

Nyah continues to be a very active little girl! She is picking up new words everyday though you really have to know the context to understand most of them. "Ice cream" is one of the most understandable ones; in fact, since she loves to eat most of her words are about food. Nyah also has come up with her own sign language for key words that she is refusing to say or try to say. Nyah really likes the pool... she plays very seriously in the baby pool and is starting to show curiosity about the big pool, though I am not encouraging it since it is still too cold for me to get in with her. Nyah even ventured into the lake at her cousins graduation party, in the arms of his girlfriend. She loves to play at the park (we spend a lot of time there during ball games), trying to do all the big kids do and succeeding 90% of the time... some of things she can climb up at her small size are amazing and the girl can hang from a bar longer than any child I know. Nyah continues to be a collector... notice how in the one picture she looks like a tourist ~ on the way out the door she picked up the hat, her cup, her music player, and her backpack (another word she says very clearly). Nyah loves music and dancing, often wearing her sisters ballet shoes to bed and around the house and taking her brother's guitar into the crib at naptime. Nyah also continues to love animals and shoes. We are headed to Disney this month which should be quite an adventure but probably not as much as the one we will undertake when we return... potty training. She is an entire year younger than any of my other kids were when we did it but she is clearly showing interest and no fear. Wish us luck!
