Look who's talking

Joy is talking!  About a month ago Joy began making sounds and talking.  She is saying several words!

Big brother tied a balloon to Joy's poneytail.
Happy Chinese New Year!
We see lots of sweet smiles these days.  Unfortunately, it is very hard to get a smile on camera.  When I pull out the camera, she wants to see the picture before I have taken it.  As soon as she sees the camera, she runs to get behind it!
 
In the past month, we have moved Joy's bed to her own bedroom and she has done amazing with that transition. 
 
She is doing so good, her occupational therapist says she is on a 36 month level.  She was tested for physical therapy and she didn't qualify! :)
 
It has been so hard for Greg and I, trying to learn how to raise a very strong willed child, but her strong will has helped her to persist and work hard.  She doesn't give up and she has come so far.  It has been so fun to see!

  1. Way to go JOY! It's so hard to believe that 1 year ago we were flying to China to pick up our little ones. WOW! How time does fly by. We are praising God for God's provision of Joy in your family.
