Sydney has made HUGE strides in the short soon-to-be 2 months she's been with us. Take this picture, for instance. There was absolutely no coaxing to get a smile. She smiled voluntarily. She and Evan dressed up as butterflies. She even tried to say 'butterfly'. She is starting to repeat what we say more and more. She repeated the alphabet just today! She will say 'hey', 'mom', 'mama', 'bye bye' and 'night night' with no coaxing. She is working on 'eyes', 'nose' and 'mouth'. She know them but will not always say them. 'Mouth' is the funniest because she either has a lisp or is quite tongue-tied from the little bit of Cantonese she learned.
For several weeks we've had issues with daycare. She would cry and throw tantrums when we'd leave her. Little by little she's been getting more and more comfortable as she's learned to dance with the other children and play in the McDonald's-like play area. This past Thursday she gave me a kiss and practically pushed me out the door! I am so glad she's comfortable there now. The more we get to know her and bond, the more in love we are with this little angel.
