UPDATE FINALLY :) WOOHOO :) and other news :)

Just got new pictures of Jeremiah and some translated Nursery updates! :) I am soooo excited :) One of them they got him to smile! Woohoo :) Noah has a fit every time he sees the pictures and is talking to him :) heehee and kissing him. SOOOO CUTE :) So they said he is 18 pounds and 28 and half inches and his head circumference is 15 inches! Not bad for a 14 month old! It hit me today that Jeremiah is 2 and half months younger now than Noah was when we got him. Wow!

They also said he is eating well :) I was shocked by all he can eat :) see:
formula: 1150 cc a day
supplemental foods: Rice cereal, mashed rice, mashed fruits /veggie, mashed egg yolk and mashed rice. Steamed eggs and dessert egg custard.

These words were nice :)


"He likes to be held"


These worried me a bit for him but its ok :)
They said his hands and legs are rigid.
I can't wait to get him home and work those muscles myself and see what we can do to help them :)

Anyway, here are the pictures :)


I LOVE THIS SHOT! I LOVE THE SMILE! :) He is gorgeous :) I can't wait till that smile is directed at me :)



the picture of innocence here! For some reason that is what I thought when I saw this one! He just looks angelic here :)

awww so sweet :) I love these little things :) I have seen one with Noah in video when he was there, they have wheels. I would love one for when Jeremiah is home :)

In other news things here have been hoppin :) Lots goin on in our world and Panda Boy Noah is a busy busy bear! He is into everything, trying everything, trying to say everything! Busy busy :) He is more adorable by the day :) He is such a cuddly guy which I had worried about because with adoption and bonding and all you never know but he definitly is attaching and bonding and loves to give hugs, kisses and cuddles. He is so funny. I love his personality :) As do most in our world :) He will pick up a book with a picture of an animal or person face and kiss it. Everytime he sees Jeremiah's picture he kisses it and is now "talkin" to it :) SOOO cute :) I often wonder WHAT he is telling Jeremiah! heehee He has been such a helper and it is neat when we are out sitting selling candy bars in front of a business or whatever and I have Noah with me and folks come by and are like, we prayed for Noah too! He touched and still does touch so many! :) We have been blessed lately with 2 candy sales and one raised $183 and we were there from 3:30 to 8:30 and the other raised $254 and we were there from 12:30 till 8:30 :) Not bad huh! :) I had an opportunity to babysit a 3 month old for 3 weeks all the pay from that little one is going towards the adoption.

Noah's therepies are going well. He has it 3 days a week and has pretty much wrapped all 3 ladies around his little finger :) so cute :) Found out today they will come into the home and work with him till he is 7 so that is good :) then a diffferent program will take over if he still has needs :)

We are busy bees this summer trying all kinds of new activities. I will be posting in the next few days about our Dallas trip and a first that happend while we were there. Today we went to Noah's first movie. There is a place here doing a free movie 3 mornings a week so we went to see madagascar 2! This was Noah's first time to go to a movie for him! I did try to take him to one we adults went to when we first got home and thought he would sleep through but he didnt. lol but anyway we go in and at first we get this:

doesnt he look so big :) They have a booster seat thing and he sat in there with his mum mums and was find at first.

But the peace did NOT last. He wanted to get down and run around and he would cry and throw a fit and we had to take him out and eventually stayed out. He did NOT like this. So we ended with this:

the shot is not a good one for some reason but he was cryin and cryin. He is definitly two! LOL He will get there :)

We went to a local hands on science place after that. I will share some pics from that later :)

I wanted to show you the matching shirts I got my BOYS! I love that I will have BOYS! :) They wont wear these till winter but aren't they cute? Got a good deal on them :)

Here are a couple of cute Noah shots for you :)

this was a shot from our trip :) I said cheese and he smiled! yippee now if we can get him to keep that up :)

and this was a cute shot :) I love it :)

Please keep our fundraising in prayer. Things are going well, its just he needs to be home quick as possible and so they need to go better than good! :) Jumpin with iJeremiah will be the 19th here locally and I am praying that one does very very well :) I am workin on lots of other ideas. IF YOU HAVE AN IDEA, PLEASE let me know :)
