Made it to Zurich!

Our flight on Swiss International Airlines was long but uneventful and Leslie was a very good girl, hardly crying at all. We have our car and are checked into our first hotel. We are showering and will then go out for dinner.

The car is a Ford station wagon diesel stick shift with plenty of room for all our stuff and a baby seat for Leslie.

We'll post some pictures soon!

The weather is perfect today, sunny and warm.

Sentence

For the first time, Leslie put together two words to form a "sentence." When Bill dropped me off at the BART (train) station, Leslie said "Bye Mama!"

December Update

This is a very quick and short December update.

A few weeks ago Leslie started stacking the toy rings in order of size. She also successfully figured out how to put all the pieces of the animal puzzle into the right slots. It just seemed like things clicked for her suddenly.

She also started WALKING on her own last week! She walked clear across the kitchen floor, as well as the living room! It wasn't just one step, but a whole bunch of steps! Soon we'll be chasing after her ALL the time. She's an active girl. Many people who have met her says how she is "busy" all the time.

Here's a photo of us taken in San Jose near the Tech Museum. There was a display of like 200 Christmas trees.
