6 Months Home Update

A post I started in April:

Wow...it's been awhile since I updated the blog. Everytime I think to do an update, my husband is using the computer or the boys wake up from their naps. On the weekends, I tend to like to take a nap when they do, so it doesn't leave much time for blogging.


We just passed the 6 month home mark with HJ which means we can finalize his adoption soon. We are just waiting on a few documents from our agency, and then we'll forward everything to our lawyer. Hopefully within the next few months, HJ will "officially" be ours!



HJ has adjusted well and acts like a typical active toddler boy. He is almost 21 months old. His latest word, said in the most annoying and whiny way is, "miiiiiiiiiine!" He and DW fight a lot. DW gets easily frustrated and aggressive over the littlest things, and HJ likes to take things from DW and try to wrestle with him. These things don't go over well with DW, so the fighting begins. Just in the time span of writing this, I've had to get up twice to mediate! He also puts everything in his mouth and has started really testing limits. He stands on top of furniture, dumps out the dogs' bowls, tries to play in the toilet and trash, pulls the dogs' hair, runs away from us when we tell him to come, drags shoes all over the house, throws food from his high chair, wipes food in his hair, and throws really big temper tantrums when he doesn't get his way. On a more positive note, he is really cuddly, loves to give kisses, and laughs and squeals when you wrestle with him. His favorite toy is a riding toy which he uses to move all over the house. He also likes to dance, especially to Justin Bieber's "Baby" song. Not sure how that started since neither Tim nor I are Bieber fans, but we can pull up the music video on YouTube, and he squeals and starts dancing and saying "Baby, baby, OHHHHH!!!"


I realized I didn't even do a Christmas post. That shows how crazy my life has become! Gotta go, kids are waking up from naps!
