Ice cream, Popsicles & Popcorn...

Look who's talking! Miss Gabriella has done a wonderful job communicating since she has been home from China. There truly isn't a time that I can think of that we didn't understand each other; however today she began talking and saying words...big words to express herself! She shared with me that she and Emme were playing "football" together today...yes, she said "football" as clear as possible while we were shopping! Later in the day she told me she was hungry. I asked her what she would like to eat...I'm used to her saying "dat" and pointing to it...not today! Today she said "Hao Hao (her nick name in China) eat ice cream, popsicles and popcorn"...I almost wrecked the car! I asked her again what she wanted to eat and she repeated it! We went out for dinner and I asked her what she wanted to eat thinking she would point to something on the menu...nope she said "fries and shicken". While these were all very exciting the most exciting one of the day was when she was in the back seat and she said "Gabbie tea" for the first time she was able to say Gabbie...she has tried many times and she has tried Gabriella however it is just a pretty big word for her right now...we were shocked when we heard her say this! When we looked back at her she was smiling from ear to ear and said "Gabbie"...we couldn't be more proud of our precious little angel:)
