6 Months and counting

Hi all well I turned 6 months and Iʻm doing all sorts of things. I learned to crawl. I eat real food. I crawl around a lot. I play with my big sister. I love to babble. Iʻm pulling myself up on everything, and did I mention I love crawling?? Here are some pics to prove it

Our mini mommy


I canʻt stop smiling when I think about our little Chioma mostly because she amazes me with all the things that she chooses to do. She loves to play like every other kid but even more than play she loves to do EVERYTHING that we parents do. She insists on helping us cook, clean, change and feed Daluchi, put away laundry, start the dryer, wipe things down, sweep, mop, the list goes on and on. I just keep thinking "where did you come from?" here are some shots of Chioma "helping"
When our neighbor is doing yardwork Chioma follows him around and constantly asks "watch doin" and then asks to help him or come with him so I guess he finally decided to let her water the plants. I didnʻt take these pictures the foreign ESL students took them and posted them on her facebook page when she went back to China. I cracked up when I saw them.

ONe day I couldnʻt get Daluchi to eat her rice cereal so it was a shock to me when I turned around and she was eating it from her sister. I just overheard Chioma saying "Now open" and she did so good.



Another time we had some unexpected guests at dinner time and I stopped cooking in order to talk to them. Needless to say Chioma felt it was here place to finish where I left off... she must have been really hungry... oh and the sunglasses she always cooks in style! LOVE our MIni mama!!
