Trick o Treat

It was recently Syona's first Halloween, and to celebrate her dada and I took our little pumpkin trick o treating. She was super cutie bundled up in her pumpkin suit and it was really fun taking her to all the houses. Some of the houses would hold the candy out for her to take and she would sift around the dish and then get kind of shy and cuddle her head in my neck. Super cute. It was fun for Paul and I to eat the halloween candy along the way. Then for a surprise, we decided to take our little pumpkin home to surprise our parents. My mom and dad weren't home, so then we took Syona to Paul's mom's house. After surprising nai nai with her sweet little pumpkin grand baby, we called my parents and told them to come home so we could bring Syona over. My parents had stopped my sees candies and bought Syona some Halloween lollipops and pumpkin chocolate. We all took turns feeding her first taste of candy- vanilla pop. She loved it and her little mouth got so sweet and sticky, I kept kissing all the candy goodness off. It was a really fun night.

SC Phone Home

Syona is learning and it is starting to show up in her every day behavior.

A few example :

1. Nanny number 3 (we are on our fourth and best one now) noticed that she was able to make the milk sign. The interesting thing is that the nanny didn't even know the milk sign- she just found out that Syona was making an open/close hand while she was crying before her afternoon nap. It wasn't until she gave her bottle that she went to sleep. I can't wait till she makes the poop and diaper change sign...

2. Dadu grandpa recently taught her to make the "Phone" sign, where she puts her hand on ear. Whenever we sing the 5 little monkey jumping on the bed book, she would anticipate the "Mama calls the doctor - Hallo?" line.

3. Syona doesn't just communicate with sign, she is showing her understanding of words. Seems like she said Light, and sometimes she seems to say "Ba Ba pao pao"

Just a few examples to share about her communication skills. Outside of that, she is also starting to get into the TV cupboards since she can crawl and is super curious. Starting to stand up now.
