Last night I went to an excellent concert at my church at 7pm. The group was called Re-Creation. They primarily minister in hospitals and homes for Veterans. One girl from our church is in the group. I went to the concert alone as Paul's not a big concert person plus Nadia went to bed early last night (6pm). The previous night she didn't sleep well, so she was rather tired yesterday. Normally she sleeps 11 hours at the most at night, but last night she slept 20 minutes shy of 12 hours. Today Paul gets to stay home because of the Memorial Day holiday. :-)This photo was taken in Antigua showing Nadia enjoying one of her "toys." I am still at a loss what to get Nadia for her first bday. My mom said we should probably wait on the play kitchen until she's a little older which is probably true. So far I have only one idea of what to get her - Leap Frog's Fridge Farm Magnetic Animal Set. I am open to any suggestions!
Nadia now says "mama!" She hasn't said it in a way that I am sure she is trying to say my name, but I have heard her say it when she's babbling away. I don't think we have an accurate idea of how large her receptive vocabulary is, but I've seen glimpses when I give her instructions. For example, she was holding my shoe (about to put it in her mouth), and I said "put down Mommy's shoe," and she did! If I ask her if she wants milk and she cries, I tell her "show me with your hand" and she'll then do the sign for milk with her left hand. If she's coming down "her" step in an unsafe manner and I say "use your hands," she immediately puts her hands down on the floor. I think she understands more words than we realize!

Brianne's favorite thing has been a baby stroller w/ a doll in it. I think we bought her toy stroller for $10 and she was barely over 1 years old. She instantly started playing with it and to this day races through the house with it.
I second the baby stroller. Also, does she have the ride on toy that has the handle so a parent can push it, too? Those are a lot of fun.
Does she have any type of walker wagon? My boys had a Red Flyer walker wagon (they push it) that they all simply adored up until about a week ago when we finally had to throw it out. :(
The floor of the wagon had been missing for sometime and both wheels in the front came off (again) and they were *still* pushing that thing around the yard. It's great quality but we left it outside and the boys got their abuse (I mean use) out of it. I miss it!
Most def the best toy (most use) they ever had aside from their plasma cars.
BTW, congrats on your recent developments, yowza!!! HH!
