Okay, I am determined not to let too much time go by without an update.
H. She is incredible, awesome, lovable, hugable and just adorable. She is 17, almost 18 months and what a fun age! They say this is when language really gets going. Every day she is learning new words. She does really well with signing and basic words and has started "asking" me (pointing with a question sound) what things are called. As of the last couple days, she is the queen of "no" - but in a comical way. She walks around saying "no no no no no no no" - but it sounds more like "nuh nuh nuh nooah!" She loves to tell Reilly "no" - regardless of what he is doing.
She is an expert body part pointer. Our favorite is "Elbow." Which sounds an awful lot like Elmo (whom, to prevent confusion, is called "mo"). She is also quite fond of "beelleeh" - the belly button....she is an expert belly button poker.
Here is a video clip of H recently, standing in a homemade "Learning Tower."
