She is also pulling up on anything that is stationary for a second and cruises around from object to object.
Here are a few words that she will say:
Da Da
Ma Ma (finally!!)
Nite Nite
Thank You - although it sounds nothing like "Thank you" and I'm sure I'm the only one that would recognize it.
She will do the signs for "eat", "more" and "dirty" (we made that one up - you just wave your hand over your nose)
She can point to her foot, teeth and dimples. Well, she actually points to the same general area for both tooth and dimples. Yeah, I know most people start with nose but we think the others are much more fun.
Really the only thing that could be improved is the sleeping. I don't think she has slept through the night since we got back from China. The last week has been a little better in that she is easier to get back to sleep once she wakes up so hopefully we are headed in the right direction. Typically she wakes up around 1:30 and 4:30 am expecting a bottle and is downright peeved if you don't immediately produce one. I really think the ONLY way she knows to fall asleep is with the bottle. I'm sure she's waking up more now during the night due to the huge transition that she has gone through. And then of course once she's awake and trying to fall asleep again, she is looking for the bottle. So it's a process of teaching her HOW to fall asleep. I'm sure we'll get there, it's just taking a little time.

Sounds like she is on a roll!!!!
It'll take a little while for her to get adjusted to not having bottles at night, but she will get there! Just stick with it. Also, at this age, it's not unusual for her to wake up at night with night terrors and have difficulty going back to sleep. Hang in there mommy and daddy....it won't last forever:)
She's growing like a weed!! Glad to see everyone is settling in and so happy!
