Our girl is talking! Well sort of...

So our little girl is very serious. There have been no smiles, just a lot of serious looking around, or crying if Debbie walks away for any reason. We know she can talk, but she has been very very timid and cautious. Once, yesterday, she was crying and while crying said something while pointing at a door that was closed (she wanted it open to go find Debbie, but I have no idea what she said or if it even was in English). Two nights ago, Debbie told me that she was talking in her sleep- once again, unintelligible as most sleep talking goes, but still really cute and musical and dainty. Just now, as I am working on posting blog stuff, Debbie came out and told me that she was sitting on the bed and looking at a book and then said something- but then realized she was talking and then stopped and looked up at Debbie. Debbie isn't sure of what she said, but how cool!! That means she is starting to trust us more and let her guard down! The orphanage is located in Chennai, India, where they speak Tamil. So I got our driver and the fellow that are helping us to give me some Tamil words which I spelled out phonetically, so now I have a ultra basic vocabulary just in case she learned Tamil as well as English (they told us they spoke English to her, but I think it was probably a mixture). Common words a two year old might know, like eat, drink sleep, mommy, daddy, brother, come here, open, and so on. So keep praying that she continues to open up and that she becomes a little chatterbox, hopefully in English! And keep praying that this little cutie will finally smile! Thanks everyone! -Vic
