Our Happy Girl!!!!!

Wow here we are almost mid February and time just flies these days.  Jailyn is talking so much and picking up new things every day.  I can't believe she turned 19 months on Saturday and Sunday was our 8 month anniversary with Jailyn.  She is 31 1/2 inches tall and 22 lbs.  She is doing front rolls, into everything and I mean everything and talking up a storm.  She must be speaking Chinese (just kidding) with all the Jibberish she says now and the long conversations we have go on......She very much wants to be in control and wants her way.  She gets mad when she does not get her way.    We have had a nice winter getting on schedule with Gymboree classes 1-3 times a week and she does well at my personal trainer with me too.   She loves visitors and any one to come play with her.  She loves her Baby Einstein videos, Fresh Beat Band and of course her Nihao Kia Lan shows.  We went to the Chinese New Year with the Cincinnati Families with Children from China and loved it and shared the experience with Alyssa her little Chinese girlfriend.  I will post pictures.  She did very well at our annual Super Bowl Party and loved playing with the other kids.  We have just changed her nap schedule to one nap.  She is exhausted when she goes down for her nap now between  2pm-5pm and goes to bed so much better around 9 or 9:30pm.  I will be starting to do more appts again with Mary Kay in March and gearing up to work more.  If need be I can always pull back should we have another round of night terrors every night.  We are down to 1-2 a week now.  It has been a blessing to have the freedom to work very part time as needed to run my business.  Looking forward to Valentine's Day, Easter and Spring with Jailyn.  It was this time last year we were in the final waiting months for her referral.  Boy has life changed so much for the better and would not change a thing with the wait and having Jailyn as our daughter.  So blessed and grateful.
Happy Valentine's Day!
Linette
