Welcome!

Want to know what Helen's up to these days? Subscribe to this blog and you'll get frequent posts. Here's the latest:

• Helen has 10 teeth that have come in completely and 6 more that have broken through her gums and are still fighting their way through. Ouch! She does amazingly well with the pain.
• She loves tumbling on the bed. We say, "dive, Helen" and she stands up and reaches her hands as high as she can and flops down saying, "ah!" (see photo) She bends over for us to help her with somersaults - sometimes she tries to grab her own ankles to flip herself.
  
• She tries new words all the time. Yesterday she was playing with the Lulu doll Kevin gave her and she called her "NooNoo" Later I said, "should we call Aamera?" and she nodded and said "Nah Nah" (Her word for Layla - Aamera's daughter). She sees us using our tongues for the "l" sounds and arches her tongues and ends up with "n"
