She was a 3 pound 32 week preemie at birth. When we met her she was17 pounds and 29 inches. Not speaking a word. She was "delayed".
She called me "mama" on Dec. 15.
Called Paul "papa" a few days later.
Now, almost 5 months later, She weighs 22 pounds and is 32 inches tall. From 9 month size clothes to 18 month size.
She is a champion climber.
An enthusiastic eater.
She can say almost 20 words including "apple" "Ella" "me" "mine" and "bowl" and several signs including "more".
She is living large as the youngest of my 9 here on earth.
Happy Birthday my Yana Faustina...
Wishing you many many many more...
