From Slow to Hyper Speed

Wow... it's hard to believe, but Hana is 13 months old today! I remember there were several times during the wait that I felt like time was going backwards. Now that we have Hana, I don't have any idea where the last 5 months have gone. It seems like we just left for China to go and pick her up, yet we completed our first post placement home study last week. But, we are having a lot of fun, so I guess it just does prove that time flies when you are having fun!

As for Hana, she is amazing me daily! She is starting to walk, and she is starting to really get the hang of it. I think she will be pretty much running by Chinese New Year! She is also starting to really get vocal, and she has no problem telling me exactly what she thinks. She is also trying to mimic sounds, and she does have mama and dada down. She is also learning gestures, and she has learned to shake her head no and yes. Of course, she seems to use no much more frequently than yes. I guess we are already practicing for the terrible twos! She loves to play, and Peek and Where's Hana are two of her favorite games, and both never fail to get full belly laughs. Every day brings new wonders, and I can't imagine our life without her.
