"Pump!" Nadia

Nadia with her "pump". She says "pump" every time she sees a pumpkin - usually very quietly in her sweet soft voice. We have three small pumpkins on our mantle and she will point up to them and say, "pump" whenever she looks that direction.

Happy Fall!

Look! I can carry this one all by myself!

Let me try this one.... "huhhhh"....it's too heavy...

Yeah! Little pumpkins!

Nadia continues to make us laugh every day! Today she pulled Glowie all around the house in the Bilibo. Then she took Andy by the hand and led him around and around. Finally she took the turtle on the string for a 30 minute walk all over the house. It was precious!

Nadia now knows and uses 36 words! She can identify her eyes, ears, nose, mouth, hair, teeth, toes and hands. She is much more steady on her feet and picks up the pace to a "run" from time to time. She has lately really enjoyed taking things out of one container, moving them to another and back. She will sign "please" anytime she needs our help with something. She likes "grocery shopping" with her food. We put the food all around the living room and she goes around and chooses things to put in her grocery cart. The sweetest thing is the unsolicited hugs and kisses she will give us all the time. She still loves books, is still not consistently sleeping through the night, would be a "fruitatarian" if we'd let her, and is a happy happy girl!
