At the playground

We went to our favorite park today and I finally took some pictures of Naddie.
I absolutely love this playground! We can spend hours here and she just keeps going from one thing to the next and than back.
She will laugh soo hard while she is in the swing and loves climbing the fire truck. Today she was planning to exit out of the “moving” vehicle. Yes, it moves if you push on it.She will also sit front of the slide so that I get the picture. I put her on the top of it and she slides down with my help. We continue to do this over and over again until I talk her into something different. To get her in the car (to head home) afterward is another story.

Fun Picks

Thanksgiving and all the fun holiday fixings

Naddie celebrated her very first thanksgiving with her great grandparents, grandparents and uncle and aunt at our house. Daddy and cool uncle G were the chefs for the day and they made a fabulous dinner for all of us. Naddie really enjoyed having everyone around and all the attention she was getting for days. She was so exhausted at the end that she literarily had to take a break from everyone.
We are also getting ready for our trip to New York. We will be there from the 18th- the 28th and if anyone would like to see us while we are there just send us an email and we can schedule some time to get together. We will be busy with family but we will have time for our friends as always!
Naddie is now 11 months and she is getting so big. She is still not walking and for now I am really happy about that. She is very active and loves going and going and going…
She climbs up the stairs (all the way) and thank good she is not trying to climb back down just yet. I think, from what I see, she actually understands that she cannot do that yet. She absolutely loves dancing and will even do it if you just whistle something to her.
She is talking a lot in her own language and knows quite many words now in English and in Hungarian. She is just starting to say THERE and THANK YOU in English and she says APA for daddy and CICA for kitty and ANYA for mom in Hungarian.
She also understands basic questions and will react accordingly. She will give me her hands when I ask for them so that I can wipe them down and she will lift her feet when I ask to put the shoos on. She is also becoming a DRAMA QUEEN!! She loves dramatic moments and acting them out. The other day she really wanted to get out of her high chair, but I was not ready with cleaning her up, when she throw her head back and then leaned forward, put her forehead on the high chair tray and was crying out loud: AYAYAYAYA!!!Hollywood here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lisa's Birthday

Night,Night

We had a fantastic time on Halloween night with cool uncle G and aunt Lisa. Naddie was dressed as a ladybug and we took her "trick or treating" to downtown. I have never seen anything like this. There were hundreds if not thousands of kids and their parents all dressed up in great costumes. We had dinner on main street and walked around. We also visited uncle G's friends house where they had a great big block party. These people went all out to decorate their lawn and even attracted some of the evening news people. The theme was "Lost Vegas".

Naddie stayed up until 10pm and had so much fun!! Also as her aunt and uncle were leaving to go home she clearly said NIGHT,NIGHT to them while we all just stood there stunned!!!! I wonder what will she surprise us next with? Please don't say "a boyfriend"!!!

Unfortunate Events

As you all probably heard there are several fires burning in Southern California. Fortunately we do not live close to any of them and the only "inconvenience" we had was the high winds, hot weather and some smoke. The people who have lost their homes are in our thoughts and hopefully we can find a way to reach out to our "neighbors".

Last week we had mor-mor visiting and had such a great time with her. We LOVE having her here and hope to spend more time with her in the near future. She is coming to spend Thanksgiving with us and with cool uncle G, Lisa, Gramps Junior, Gramps and Granny.

Last week we got to take her to the Getty museum and it was her first time!!!! She loved the whole experience and we had a great time. She also baby set Naddie one night so Will and I got to go see a movie for the first time in almost a year. Actually 11 months. The last time it was right on Thanksgiving day and I was as preagnant as one can be. This time I did not have to keep going to the restrooms!!!

Doctor, Doctor give me the news…

Naddie had her “late” 9-month check up today. She did not get any shots at this visit to my surprise. She is 28.5 inches long and exactly 20 pounds. She also has four teeth and one more on its way. She is developing ahead of herself according to her new doctor and she has not been sick for the past 4 months at all (Thank God!!!!)
She is now testing her ability to stand on her own (and she is doing really well) and can walk with someone’s help or just holding on to the furniture. She also got sick of hitting her head each time she went under something so now she is taking her time and mastering the skill of lowering her body. She is also set the goal to get into puma’s food or water but there hasn’t been any successful try.
She is also a little chatterbox; I guess there is no question about whom she got that from.
I still don’t know if she is going to be right or left handed as she uses both equally.
She also saying “cica” (kat) and “de” (yes) as her new words in Hungarian and she is saying “phapha” for puma!She also thinks it is hilarious when I tell her not to do something. I just can’t stand to keep a straight face when she does that.
