I forgot to add this picture last nite... it is a favorite of mine... since he is walking. As I shared most of his first 5 yrs was spent lying down... but not now. He is sitting, trying to get up and at times just being forced to sit up but he does it... and even walking. He is a bit cranky this am but he caught Joseph's cold . Here is Gracie reaching down and touching Willi... Lily stayed home from church this am and she has been encouraging her little sister all am... to touch the dogs or play... Josiah has really taken to Andrew too.. as you can tell from his smile.... just warms my heart.
Wow! What a change! 8 pounds in 12 days--this little boy is really thriving with you! I remember being worried about our son that we brought home at 11 months, who had gained no weight for three months-he gained 4 pounds in 8 weeks with us and I thought that was a lot--this is remarkable!
ReplyDeleteI can tell you have a household of love for these newest additions, already. Can't wait to see even nmore progress.

Would you look at him standing up and walking!!!! How awesome is that?! :)
ReplyDeleteThey sound and look like they are doing great. I am so glad you are home!
How wonderful to see Andrew standing up. Just think how he will be in a few months...in a year. His whole world just opened up for him 12 days ago. My heart breaks for the way he lived for 5 years!

What a wonderful picture of Andrew Standing up and Gracie reaching out for the dog!
ReplyDeleteOur second son has Cerebral Palsy. We used to have him hold onto us while we walked too!
He'll be walking on his own in NO TIME!
congratulations!
So glad to see this! Praise God! Your family looks great! Merry Christmas to all of you!
ReplyDeleteStopped by your blog from another blog (now I don't even remember whose!). It has been SUCH a blessing to "meet" your family and be inspired by your commitment to children in great need. As we pray about what our next steps should be in bringing another child home, I can't help but feel an even stronger faith that we are capable of doing more when we meet a family such as yours doing so much. I wish you many blessings for all your family, especially the new little ones you just brought home. God bless, Jennifer in DE
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your two newest! Glad to see you all home and thriving!
