Colors

Quick pre-Christmas update. Neat little milestone that Nina has reached here recently is that she seems to get colors. It is amazing how abstract of a concept that is! She has known the words for different colors for quite a while, but if you asked her what color something was the answer was always "green". Now pretty consistently she gets them right... pink, purple, blue, green, yellow! Pretty fun!

Last month we did fashion, so now we'll do hairstyles. Nina's hair has continued to come in in a mass of light brown curls. Sometimes, it is fabulous, bouncy ringlets....


... other times, it is more challenged...


While not ascetically the best shot, this next picture has special significance. This was the first time Nina stacked up her blocks all by herself to make a "towwah". She got those blocks for her first birthday so it is appropriate that she mastered them as she rounds out her second year!

You can see that we both rushed for our cameras. Good thing too because the best part of making a "towwah" is knocking it over.
