A Mind of Her Own







Huelan can communicate pretty well now- nouns, verbs, linking a few words for simple sentances- but very recently something changed.  For the first time that we can tell, she remembers and can recount to us what she's been up to.  She can tell us what animals she saw at the petting zoo and the pet store, what she ate, and where she went.  And when we ask her what she wants, she pauses to consider an answer- applesauce or yogurt? It's almost like a conversation, which is very cool, but also kind of scary.

Huelan loves the pumpkin patch and both the big (momma) and small (baby) pumkins.  She does this hilarious thing where she tries to pick up huge objects, makes a straining grunt, and exclaims, "Big! Heavy!"  She does it with pumpkins, tables, boulders, and manhole covers.  She also has a face that goes with it- you can see it in the second and third pics.
