I know, what's left to tell, with all the updates? Well, some "fun facts" about Talia:
Favorite Food? Hard to tell, eats like there's no tomorrow. Four meat dumplings and about 1/2 cup of broth for dinner again tonight. Loves her steamed egg, too (We're bringing home a recipe). Maybe a new Olympic event--lunge for the spoon!
Favorite Activity? Those colorful stacking cups--they're great! Brief crisis this morning when they couldn't be found, luckily they were somewhere where no one put them!
Size? Best fit so far, 6-9 month outfit of Lydia's that Lydia didn't really get to wear.
Motor Development: Not yet walking, but can stand briefly if held, not yet crawling, can sit with pillow propped behind her, but not independently for long.
Language: Great at babbling! Mamamamama, bababababa, lalalalala--of course we know she means mama, baba and Lydia!
How to make her laugh? Gentle blowing on her face--cracks her up every time.
Preferred conveyance: Really lovin' that Ergo carrier, but likes to GO once we're in there. If we're going to sit, unbuckle me please. Not too crazy about the stroller we bought yet.
Favorite Beverage? Half apple juice, half water in the Pigeon bottle (special bottle for babies with cleft palate), though will take a Playtex bottle with the fast flow nipple. Haven't tried formula, as the orphanage said she drank milk. Doesn't seem too crazy about milk, but she may not want it because she's teething and congested.
Least Favorite Activity? Anything to do with bathing. Haven't found what she'll tolerate without crying yet. Tonight I tried standing in the shower stall with her held close to give her steam for her congestion--cried and cried pathetically. Wasn't happy until we were out of there and bundled into a towel.
Sleep: Great sleeper. A little quiet, a little dark, that apple juice/water combo, a few Chinese children's songs and she sleeps through the night. Wakes up happy and ready to go.
Problem Solving: Cup in one hand, cup in another and someone is trying to hand you another? Hmmm, put one down and grab the new one!
Number of teeth? 2 on top, 4 on the bottom, and it looks like she's working on a couple of molars in the back.
Question we're asked most often? Mei Mei or Didi (boy or girl)? I know her hair is short, it'll grow!
Overall? She's funny, charming, sweet and adaptable. We just love her :)
