Fiona loves to dance to different genres of music, reads fiction and nonfiction books, eats chicken gyozas, says the word "apple" over and over, identifies a few animals like cat and dog, chicken and horse, duck and bird, enjoys sitting by grandpa's pond watching the koi fish, gets excited when she sees other kids, needs to warm up to strangers, and watches Yo Gabba Gabba and The Wonder Pets attentively.

Her eating habits are a bit challenging. She's quite finicky. I'm afraid we have to sneak vegetables when we can. And when we do, she spits it right out. That crazy girl!

Stayed tuned for more Fiona fun facts...
