Thanksgiving with Granparents

This Thanks giving holiday is the MOST special for us, we have so much to be thankful for this year. We have our most beautiful daughter Nadia with us, we have Granparents visiting from TN, we are all healthy and happy… in short.. LIFE COULD NOT BE BETTER FOR US this year.
Nadia loves her grandparents and got adjusted to them so well…we are very proud of her.
Her vocabulary is improving by the day and for now she is very bilingual and uses all of her words very well… sings her ABC’s and dances on all of the music…
Nadia’s NEW best friend is ELMO, she even dreams about him and calls him from her crib in the middle of the night….. it is so funny…
Tomorrow we are taking Nadia to her first dinner in restaurant…. I am sure she will love it. Since now she loves to feed her self.
Here is few photos we took past few days…..

November News

I apologize for not posting more often, but it has been very busy around here for me. Month of October and November has passed way to fast in my opinion and our baby girl has now taken a role of very active toddler…
Next week is already two months that we are home, and Nadia is 15.5 months old now and doing great. Every day she brings sunshine to our lives, she is funny and happy all the time...
Few weeks ago she got her first round of immunization shots. I have to say she was a true champion and cried only for few minutes, next day she slept a lot but didn’t show any other signs of 5 different immunizations.
This week we noticed that she has a running nose and two new teeth… one molar out all the way and the other one just about to break skin. I have to say that, again there were no signs of being cranky or fever associated with new teeth coming in... Lucky us… she has 9 teeth now
Nadia’s vocabulary has improved dramatically in past few weeks, she speaks mix of about 10 words of Croatian and English, all of the words are simple but we are proud of her for using them when she needs something.
She is now running and climbing on everything all the time, climbs stairs up and down ,she even got in trouble the other day … Miss Nadia has decided to dump entire big Jade plant on swimming pool cover and then quietly played in dirt till Brad has discovered her trying to add some more dirt in to pool drain hole..LOL… ohh she had so much fun and got her daddy pretty upset…. Then she got so upset when Brad cleaned up...
Every day she takes a walk down to the mail box with us to check for the mail, loves nature and sticks and leaves and birds... calls them all baby.. that is her favorite word and it is used for many different things ...
Here is few photos of our big girl, it shows how much fun she is having… we are having the best time of our lives… hands down, nothing so far even close compares to time spent with Nadia…. That is what makes my work time very productive; it amazes me how much I can have done in office when I have only two hours during her nap…

HERE IS OUR FUNNY GIRL.....

1st snow day

It is Halloween today, and we have a tons of snow here in Saranac lake.. looks more like x-mass..

I tried to bring Nadia out to see if she likes all of this snow...here is photo of my little snow pumpkin.... it was fun till she figured out how cold it is...

One month later...

Ohh I know that everyone has been looking for more photos and info, but time is flying by and we are already over one month in Saranac Lake.
Our Nadia is the most wonderful child... she is adjusting so well, learning new things every day.
We are following her routine and sleeping schedule and that makes her very very happy baby.
Her walking has improved also, now she is almost running all over the place.
She is also able to say her name... it sounds more like Nania , she also calls everyone baby and ...
But the biggest improvement is Nadia's eating ... she loves everything, so far we have not found any foods she doesn't like, even milk is OK lately.
Here is few photos from past few weeks....

We are back home!!!!

We are back for almost a entire week now, it is hard to believe that there was life before Nadia.

Our journey home was very long but once we got home I slept entire day and Brad was playing with.

Days are going by fast and our baby now needs size 4 diapers and size 4 shoes.. she is 22Lb heavy and 28" tall.... she is eating spaghetti dinners and plays with us and alone, and walks a lot more than few weeks ago....it is just amazing how well she is adjusting to her new home... it is almost like she knows that this is her home forever and she like's it... a lot...

Here is few photos of 1 week home
