Rah Rah for Words!

Kamryn is really trying to talk up a storm! It's wonderful to hear her sweet little voice. She will mimic us and try to repeat everything. Her vocabulary has included momma, dada, gege and hi for awhile now, but here is a list of her new words: bye bye, ball, duck, back pack (because she takes one to school), baby, no (which she says with attitude!) pop, eat and more.

After moms morning out today, Miss Laurie said that Kamryn will point to the kids' pictures (which she has up in their room) and she tries to say their names. She agrees with me that Kamryn is really trying to talk. I'm glad it's not my imagination;) Miss Laurie just laughs and says that Kamryn is alot of fun, that she is full of character.

We had our 12 month post placement visit with our home study agency on Tuesday. We brought Kamryn with us and she played while we were asked questions about her eating and sleeping habits, how she interacts with us, whether she has bonded, if she shows jealousy with her brothers, her health since we've brought her home, how she interacts with others, etc. It was only a half hour visit and we were done! Finally, we are done with the paperwork! We had to provide 6 pictures which they send to China with their report. Of course they were happy smiling pictures. Not this picture . . . this is how we brought Kamryn to the visit on Tuesday. Over the weekend, she slipped on my neighbor's wood floor and got a major boo boo, yes, on her face. This is the 3rd scrape/shiner she's had on her face. She's either clumsy or accident prone. I feel so bad for her. When she gets hurt, she doesn't really cry very loudly. It's more like a whimper. Poor girl. The only time she cries loudly is at 3 am when she's not tired. Good thing they will let us keep her, even after seeing her look this way:)
