The smiles and laughter are coming

For the first time since we got Ava she woke up this morning without crying. It was nice. It is the small things know and to us it means allot.

We were able to get way more smiles out of her today. She even laughed. We went out to the main foyer on our floor by the elevators this evening and Ava was looking outside the window and as plain as day said "GOODBYE".

I was carrying her down for supper tonight and I kept saying Ba Ba, (Ba Ba to her which means father in Mandarin) and she kept saying back Mama, Mama. Which in Mandarin means mother.

It was so cute. She certainly equates Terri as her Mama. They are forming a good bond. It is very beautiful to watch. These pictures of her climbing on Terri are cute. She tries to get into the strangest positions to fall asleep.
