Nonna and Alessia and Ethan came last week to visit, and we had a lot of fun with them. We went to the library for story time, and to the University Homecoming Parade. Nonna spent a lot of time talking with Norah, and taught her to say Mama! I came home from work, and Nonna said, "Norah, who is that?" and Norah said, "Mama!" Imagine my delight and surprise! Norah also says Nanno for Nonna, and that was the first word out of her mouth a couple mornings in a row. So, Norah is talking a little more. She also approximates "dump truck" whenever she sees one by saying, "Duh Tuh!" And baby is "beh beh"--always with the two syllables. It's a lot of fun hearing her try to talk.
She also made up her own sign for when she wants to drink out of our cups--we are very impressed that she has the imagination to do that! I am so glad we did baby signs--they really show you that there is a lot going on inside a 16-month-old's brain--a lot more than they can tell you with spoken words anyway.
Progress on the hard drive: it has been sent to a firm in Madison, WI, where they will try to recover all of our precious photos and videos, and then charge us an arm and a leg (which we will pay!) to get the data back. A lesson to all: back up your hard drives from time to time!!!!
More photos ASAP!
Chiara, James and Norah
