Going for my first bike ride with Daddy

 

I had lots of fun in my bike trailer (Mommy got it at a yard sale for $25)

 

On Saturday 8-22-09 Mommy, Daddy and I went to a Butterfly place. I loved watching all the butterflies fly around me. I tried to grab this one over my head.

 

After the Butterfly place we went to Yankee Candle Flagship store and went through the Christmas village.

 

 

 

"He's yours"

Is what our SW said yesterday when she called us regarding Wednesday's (8-19-09) Legal Birth Father's TPR.
We figured he wouldn't make any moves, but relieved to hear it is now all over and done with.
The adoption agency in NV will now transfer custody (once they have all the legal paperwork in/done) to our agency in MA. Then they will get us a court date to finalize. YAAAAHOOOO!

Been really hot here

Summer has surely been here over the past few weeks with today being the hottest day yet, almost 100.
We've been taking JB swimming almost everyday, either in the lake, our pool or his kiddie pool. He really, really likes the pool and lake now that the water is so much warmer. He'll happily play in the water for an hour or more, splashing, kicking in his float, cruising around in his blow up boat, being bounced up in down in the water, etc... he really likes it. The pool temp was a nice warm 84 yesterday. We'll be going in the pool again today after his nap this afternoon. Poor Daddy is working out in the direct sun, wearing a sweatshirt and welding today. Bet he can't wait to get home to the AC in the house and a dip in the pool. Thanks for all your hard work Babe!

Getting to a sitting positon

in my crib when Mommy puts me down for a nap is so much fun, LOL!
He just sits there sucking his thumb and holding his blankie I imagine one of these times I check in on him, he'll be asleep sitting up, he~he!

A crawler for a day and now pulling to stand...oh my :o)

We have a crawler...

JB has been crawling/scooting backwards for weeks now and today at playgroup he took the plunge and moved forward. He crawled two times while there about 10 crawls/ moves forward each time, but he hasn't done it yet at home. He crashed after playgroup for a few hours then woke up (not ready to be up, but hungry) he drank 8 oz and we tried the floor, but he was still tired so he went down again about 1 hour ago now. I hope he'll show Daddy his new trick tonight.
I was so excited to see him crawl, then instantly thought oh, oh that means he is mobile from now on...

I found out today that Joel's best buddy at playgroup, Isaiah (his Dad brings him) is in the process of being adopted as well (he is the child of his wife's sister and they got him at 3 weeks old). What a coincidence that out of the 4 in the group today, the two boys are being adopted...WOW!
