Helen is Growing too!
Thursday, October 18th, 2007 by RachelHelen is growing also! She has come such a long way in the three months that we have had her. When she first came to us she could not sit unattended. Since then, she has mastered that, learned to scoot with her arms and one leg, stand while leaning, take steps while holding on to our hands, and now today she has learned to sit up. Thanks to her amazing flexibility she lays on her stomach, pulls her knees under her tummy, walks her hands to her knees and brings her feet around to the front by doing the splits! I was able to catch it on video right after she had done it for the first time.
Helen’s speech is progressing as well. She says “Hi!” and something like “Bye-Bye” appropriately. She also says “Mama”, “BaBa” (chinese for Daddy), and “PaPa” but I am not sure if she is really calling us. A couple of nights ago, she started saying “Tickle”. She just loves to be tickled. Any kind of contact physically and face time are her favorite things.
