The Ups and Downs of Week 2

It is hard to believe that we have been home over 2 weeks! Here is a recap of the last week with our little man.

The UPS of week 2
- NEW WORDS! baby, water, hot, "brush your teeth", bannana, hello, and most importantly TIGER (still working on "M-I-Z")
- success on the potty (#1 and #2) - is that TMI?
- class at The Little Gym
- blood work that came back negative!!
- visiting with Grandpa and Grandpa Galbraith



The DOWNS of week 2
- ER visit and pneumonia :(
- bilateral ear infections
- trying to get Joseph to take his medications
- lots of bloodwork, stool samples, xrays, immunizations at his first doctor appt



Although, we had a few bumps over the last week with Joseph's health he is doing MUCH better now. Overall things are going great. We feel like he is bonding really well with us. Our favorite part of the day is at night when he gives each of us big hugs and kisses before going to bed. He goes back and forth multiple times between the two of us and it just melts our hearts! We know that our successful transition is due to the fact that we have been covered in prayer by so many friends and family during this time. Thank you all again!

Speaking of bonding. . . since things are going well we would love to start having visitors!! We think he is certainly ready to meet all of his new family and friends so please call and find a time to come visit!!

And of course, some video for your viewing pleasure. As you can see he loves to sing and dance and really loves his Daddy!!
