She is talking now, a lot. She has the cutest possible voice. So far we know she has said Mama (to me!), the Chinese word for hold me (bow), the Chinese word for come here or give it to me and several things we aren't sure if they are real words or just cuteness
She sleeps like a dream.
She has unusually good fine motor skills for a delayed child. She loves to mess with packages, can button her clothes some. Her pinkies are curved and the rest of her fingers are straight.
She is communicating more with us with gestures and head nods for yes or no.
She is crazy about candy. She stole my Blow Pop and then got it all in my hair ;)
She is just so easy to love. Proud of the steps she is making towards accepting us as her parents. I just cannot express what it means that she now calls me Mama.
She is awfully quiet so I better go see what she is into.....

"Mama"!!!! I can only imagine what that does to your heart--and it happened so soon!!!! I cannot get over how precious and adorable she is--I could ooh and ahh over her pictures all day. And in many ways, you and John have another baby in the family--how amazing is that?!!!!
Ellery is SO beautiful! I can't imagine how you and John are feeling right now. Those tears from Ellery will soon be a thing of the past. She has such a beautiful smile. I can't wait for you all to be home and see how she reacts to the loving family she has at home!
Oh my! Look at those lashes! :)
I know you loved hearing "Mama"!
"Mama" the sweetest word ever! It sounds like your baby girl is feeling more comfortable by the hour! Bless her little heart-- and her sticky face too! Next stop Guangzhou! Enjoy!
Blessings~
