hmm.....Where have we been?

....Very, very busy with our darling Crystal Ji Rose. So busy in fact that this blog has gone long neglected. It's not that nothing has been happening, it's only that so much has been happening and so fast, that there has been little time to capture any of it here. Crystal is doing well adjusting to being home, learning that she has a world all her own here. Mama and Baba have all they can do to keep up. Crystal has been given the "all clear" medically, which is huge relief for us. She has met and is starting to take to her Nai Nai, YeYe and just met her Jie Jie. This month, of course, has been a 'banner' one for her, though she has taken little note of much except getting stuff. She is starting to slowly pick up on a few words, such as "heart", "car", "circle", and her favorite "butterfly" (which she says in an abbreviated fashion), and a few others. She recognizes and says the letter "A" and "N" and, when so inclined, can indicate "1"and "2" and "5" with her fingers. She loves anything with buttons to press, including Mama's cell phone, with which she has inadvertently called a few people. "Winnie the Pooh" remains a favorite character as does the movie, which we probably have seen at least 50 times now (no exaggeration). She also loves her "Mei-Mei" sing along dvd. It's near impossible to capture the moments in words and/or pictures as they happen - we tend to keep too busy enjoying the moments. Below are a few pictures of our precious daughter.
