Time does heal

We've officially been a family of 4 for two months now. If we could keep this poor baby well, I think that things would be better. They do, however, continue to improve. Its really just been this week that we've started to see more of S's personality. He has really started to accept us and become part of our family. This is such a difficult process for everybody and he is such a sensitive little thing that sometimes it makes it more difficult. Adoption is DEFINITELY NOT for the faint of heart. He really has grieved appropriately, which is SO hard, but a good thing. Time is now starting to be our friend instead of our enemy!

I'm also happy to report that he has started to take a few steps unassisted. He does the Frankenstein walk to help steady himself and SMILES from ear to ear the entire time he is doing it! I think I've counted 6 steps at one time. I'm sure he'll be running before we know it...why is it that kids grow up so fast???

I'll try to post some pics of him walking if I can ever catch it on film!
