Nikki has been with us for 5 weeks and home for a little over 3 weeks.

She is a sweetheart. She is starting to give hugs, waves and says bye bye, loves to play pat-a-cake (she rolls her hands to the roll it part) and is taking a few steps. She still isn't sleeping very well but it is getting better.

The doctor proclaimed her healthy even though she isn't on the growth charts yet. The doctors don't hear a heart murmur & she has outgrown the pulmonary stenosis....those were her only special needs except for anemia (blood test was fine). She weighed 18.6 pounds and was 29 inches tall. Matthew weighed 18 lbs when we adopted him too, except he was 26 months not 16 like Nikki.

She is a smart little thing and only has to watch something once before she figures it out. She loves our weiner dog Otis, I thought she would be scared to death of him.
