One Month

 

Our sweet, energetic, smiley boy has been home one month today! He is adjusting so well to the craziness of this home and fits in so well. He loves being in the car and on the go...thank goodness because his siblings keep a pretty packed schedule. His absolute favorite thing to do is be outside on the tractor mower with his dad. Once he's on there's no getting him off. He almost fell asleep on their last week. We are longing for the summer to be here-this kid is going to be outside from sun up to sun down.

 

He adores his siblings. He and Sam are constantly wrestling and playing chase around the kitchen loop. The girls are all mothering him and even though Jo has had a few growing pains since he's been home she is mostly tender and sweet with him. It's been so fun to see her in the big sister role.

 

A few little tidbits about Z at one month home:

*He sleeps great at night, not so much for naps.

*Oatmeal and toast with peanut butter are his favorite foods.

*He is saying more words everyday and seems to understand almost everything we say.

*He plays so sweetly when the kids are all at school and usually chooses the baby dolls and stroller to play with.

*He knows all his siblings names and Grandma and Papa.

*When he says "I love you" it sounds like "I lub you"-melts my heart.

*He is almost ALWAYS smiling and has the BEST giggle ever.

*We are head over heels for this little guy and can't even imagine life without him.

 

 

This past month has been anything but easy but we would do it all over again in a heartbeat. I am so thankful we said 'yes' and have been blessed with the gift of this sweet guy.
