Andrea and I are home sick today, so I thought I'd take a minute to update my long-ignored blog. I am also toying with the idea of re-starting my Project 365 photo blog, but that's another idea for another day. Not a flu day, for sure. Blech.
Sofia's growing and changing and flourishing. Her language has started slowly, but she understands EVERYTHING (eerily...) and is now starting to mimic. Less in English than in Italian, but I guess I'm her only easily accessible English speaker here, so I suppose it's normal. Some of her vocabulary:
Papa' (that's her one constant, in so many ways)
Pasta
Caduta ("fell" in Italian)
Up
Porta ("door")
A posto (an Italian concept meaning "in its place")
Ba (Banana I believe)
Ciuccio ("paci")
Piu' ("more")
More
mamamamamam (also for "paci")
She's got some more in there, too, and the list grows daily now. This part is a lot of fun!
Also a lot of fun is that fact that she's finally becoming a good sleeper, minus the times she's been sick and thrown off. She knows her routine and is comfortable with it and, while sometimes she whines for a few seconds before she nods off, she likes bedtime and her bed. THANK THE GOOD LORD. It means we're slowly, slowly, slowly, heading toward easier times, physically. That is, just as soon as we get over this flu..!
Happy 2011 everyone!
