Fun Times...

So many times throughout this journey of adopting and now parenting... we've been blessed beyond what we could have imagined to be possible.  This weekend, was a great example of that!  We went to my hometown for a shower and to see family/friends from all over the place.  Family from Minnesota drove a long, long ways to come meet Kaleb.  Friends from across the countryside (literally) gathered together to meet the one they've prayed for and to bless us with so many generous and wonderful gifts.  He'll be one stylin' kid for a long, long time!!  I'm pretty sure we'll have to go somewhere everyday just so we can make sure all those outfits get broke in :)  

Here's a look at Kaleb's week....(more shower pics if/when I can get a copy).  

 The load of fun stuff from my party this weekend!  THANK YOU- everyone :)

P.S. Mom- car rides make me cry. 

But, at least you make it 'ok' when you crank up the radio- it helps me forget to cry. 

 Auntie Ashley and me of course! 

 Roths Unite... Randy and Cheryl stopped by to visit.  Such sweet people :)

 Grandpa finally got to introduce me to 'kitty-cat'...oh, this could be fun!

 The Great Aunties loved on me lots and Kate thinks I'm just adorable :) 

 Earlier this week... I pretty much mastered the art of sitting up on my own.  I'm even better at it now.  Sometimes I wobbled over but, I just smile and roll on my tummy. 

 Ohh, and I can stand now too.  A month ago, I would just curl my legs like a little newborn baby.  Now, my legs are tools and they're gonna get me where I want to go.

 Playing airplane baby... lots of fun. 

 I like to sputter.  Sometimes, I sputter so much that Mom calls me 'Rabies Baby' because I guess I end up foaming at the mouth.  Oh, but it is so much fun.  This weekend, I challenged all the Great Aunties and none of them can keep up with my sputtering! 

 Playing is hard work.  And, sometimes when Mom sneaks to the another room for just a minute- I just giraffe and fall asleep.  Life is good : ) 

Also this week...

I've learned to recognize Mom and Dad in pictures.  During the day, I'll see Dad's picture in the frame in the kitchen and I just giggle and smile and kick my legs.  He is awesome : ) 

Last Tuesday, for the first time, I saw Dad actually walk out the door to work in the morning.  And, I cried (alot) because I knew he was leaving and I didn't like that. 

As of this morning (Monday) I can officially sit on my own!!  Mom has declared it.

Hope you all have a blessed and fun week.  We're going to recover from our fun weekend and spend the week playing with our new toys : )  Thanks everyone!
