HOW ARE WE DOING?

We have been home about a week and a half and things are going very well. Elijah loves roaming the house and playing with all of his toys. He is a very curious little guy and has to check everything out. He can make it up one step...and has already fallen off of it!
He loves playing with his sisters and brother and wrestling is his favorite. He is eating babyfood and enjoys most of it. (could do without the peas)
We have spent time with extended family and at Church. He did well. He likes to talk so we had Randy take him out a few times.He still likes Mommy to rock him to sleep. We know he is ready when he starts really whining. He will cry but not a lot unless he is really upset about something.
He is sleeping from about 830pm to 7 am and getting 2 naps a day. He has learned to cry when he wakes up because Mommy always gets him up right away! :)
Elijah was not afraid of our dogs but our dogs are not real happy about him! :) They keep looking at me like what did I do??!!
He is certianly one of my greatest joys! We waited a long time for him and I know why...God hand picked this little guy for our family. We could not have asked for a better fit for our family. One of our most precious gifts ever. We are truly blessed.

I love the update Tina, but I think that smile really says it all. Such a happy, happy boy! He just melts my heart. It's amazing how much he's changed since that referral photo. He is gorgeous and obviously bright and curious. He feels love ...who could ask for more?
