Nadia is growing up every day! She is chattering away saying all kinds of new words every day. She had her 15 month check up and weighed 22 1/2 lbs which is the 50th percentile. She was 31 inches long which is the 60th percentile. Her head circumference was 18 1/2 inches which is the 75th percentile. She got three more shots (which caused her to have a fever). She had another ear infection (which required another round of strong antibiotics). Then two days later she came down with symptoms of a stomach bug which was later labeled "Noro virus". After six long days of being miserable - just laying around and wanting to sleep and be held under a blanket, she got better. We are so glad she's back to her regular happy, feel good self.
Building with blocks... making a road for her cars to drive on.
Reading... She can "read" most of this book to us!
Aunt Al and Cassie came to visit. Nadia always loves playmates!
"Jor Jor" is among the most frequent things on her mind. She often calls his name throughout the week.
While Alison and Cassie were here, I met them in Atlanta for West Side Story at the Fox.
Last week, I planned a suprise trip for Andy to go skiing with Jordan and Pat at Snowshoe, WV. Although I sent a camera with him, he came home with not a single picture of the whole event. Beyond lots of male bonding in the long car ride, the weekend included a trip to the hospital for a shoulder injury but luckily, no broken bones. Nadia will dance with this bunny 50x's a day with this same amount of enthusiasm!
Today I was on a radio talk show about Adoptive Breastfeeding with one other adoptive mom and Lenore Garfolb who wrote the protocols for inducing lactation. You can listen to the show at
