Day +73: getting closer

Mina Brigitta had a very nice day today. They walked me to my train stop, and then went for a walk. Mina Brigitta was very excited about dropping me off. She was walking around the apartment as we were getting ready saying "Bye-bye Dadda choo-choo!" over and over again. They were out for a couple of hours, and Mina Brigitta napped in the stroller. Then she was in a good mood all afternoon. They made little figures out of play-dough, and drew some babies for a birthday card, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Then Keri brought the kids out again to meet me at the train, which was fun for them. We still had a bit of a hard time getting her back into the house, but not as bad as yesterday. And even yesterday, once she got inside she was happy. Tonight she ate a huge dinner of tortellini, and some more watermelon. She can't yet have the cheese or spinach & tofu tortellini she used to like, but Keri found some chicken ones. She's becoming so vocal, and such a little mimic, I told her what we were having and she went cruising around the house saying "Toe-toe-nee-nee! Toe-toe-nee-nee!". She was also very proud of herself because she learned how to say "yellow". She was saying that all day long. Today was definitely progress. It's just been really fun to see her gain more and more energy and spunk.
