Jonna says "Mimi!"

We discovered that Jonna loves the slide! To our surprise, she wasn't afraid to go down herself and she was laughing more than ever.

To answer some of your questions, we spend about two hours a day with her at her baby house -- we bring her snacks and play in the music room or on the playground. We are speaking to her in a mix of English and very bad Russian. She doesn't seem to understand our Russian at all, so we may give up on that. She communicates with us mostly by pointing and sometimes whispering "vot" which roughly means "that."

We think she said "Dada" today... and she definitely pointed at my mom and said "Mimi!" Now that I wrote that, my mom says this blog is finished!
