Update on Ava!

Ava is now 14 months old!  She is growing like a weed and learning new things every day!  Ryan is doing an excellent job being her teacher!  She absolutely loves to walk and hardly ever crawls any more!  She is quite the talker as well!  Some of the words we hear the most often include: 
- Mama
- Dada
- nana (sorry Nana, I am pretty sure she is referring to bananas)
- more
- ball
- balloon (she thinks all of the Chinese lanterns are balloons)
- hot (she now knows that oven = hot)! 
-  yes/no (hoping we start hearing yes more than no)!

She will also repeat several words after you, but I am not quite sure she knows the meaning of them yet.  We are currently trying to teach her the meaning of night night, up, down, milk and snack.

Recently she started "singing"!  At least it sounds like she is singing.  It is the most adorable thing in the world and we are hoping to catch it on video soon!  Must be all of the music we listen to day in and day out! 

Our first week in Wuxi, we were invited to an indoor play center with some new friends!  Ava had a great time exploring everything, with the help of mom and dad of course!  Sadly, this particular play center has since closed, but we have been told of another one in the area so we will be checking it out soon!   


One of our new friends!
