Really Big at 16 Months

PanPan has really blossomed since she first came to us on May 23. First of all, she's gotten bigger -- catching up to her mom, as you see. Her curiosity is voracious - she wants to touch everything, to talk on the phone, use my computer, turn on the lights, walk around in the bath tub or in the train (aka El), roll over while having her diaper changed, push her stroller around, turn on the lights, press the elevator button, etc. She even loves to swim and take baths.

It is amazing to think she had probably never seen most of those things a month ago. Fortunately, that doesn't faze her. She is practically crawling, and we think her eye tracking is improving. Every day she does something new. She seems to love electronics and tries to figure out how everything works (like the latches on her stroller). She goes down the slide, but prefers to walk up it. And she still has a wonderful sense of humor, that fabulous smile, and that cute wiggle whenever a jazzy song comes on.

Her little friend from the playground, Yuanbao (Lizzie in English) no longer cries when we see her, so I managed to snap a picture. The two girls look a little alike (Rikki/PanPan is on the right). Yuanbao's parents are from Suzhou.
