Woohoo! We have made it passed the three month mark! We have grown together in such a short time. It is truly amazing! God blesses us each day. Some days are more difficult than others, and some days we wish would never end. We have so been blessed!
The children continue to grow. We have been readjusting the pants for the boys. Tatiana is shooting upward. She has grown an inch since we've came home--that's literal people!!! The boys would not keep their growth chart on the wall, so I cannot report on their height changes. However, Andrew is still a bit taller than Tatiana, so I suspect he is rising as well.
We took our first professional family picture! It was fun; the kids did great. They love posing in front of the camera. The couple that did our photos were part of a group of photographers who make up a project called Celebrating Adoption. This group cancels sitting fees and gives you no obligation to buy and gives you a proof book. Our pictures look so awesome...I wish I could share with you all but there is a copyright on them. When I get the link and info to our gallery, I will post it.
Update: Diego is saying his name! Yippee! For some reason before, he would never answer us when we asked him his name, but now he is! Tatiana and Andrew's English is becoming clearer everyday. Even Diego is speaking English. Diego is counting and saying the alphabet- not in order but he is saying it.
They continue to say their nite-nite prayers, prayers thanking God for our food at meal time, and have began praying for each others' owies! They also have been verbalizing names of loved ones; it is so precious to hear them cry out, "Bible, Bible!" We hope to instill the importance of the Bible to them.
Tatiana is in preschool at the FBC Daycare. We are debating about continuing the program. We may keep her at home and schedule playdates twice a week for her and Diego to meet up with some babies of friends we know, and continue to do schoolwork here at home with my Mother. We will keep her there through the end of the month for sure, possibly next month as well. We are still undecided.
Andrew's behavior is improving at school. He is getting tutored in English by a friend of ours from Germany. She speaks English, Spanish, and German. She is a doll. So sweet, and Andrew loves her.
Diego is finally potty trained...during the day; he occasionally has accidents at night or nap time, but for the most part he is!!! That is something to shout about! Woohoo!
They are so much fun...and a lot of work, but very much worth it all. Thank you all for your continued prayers. We appreciate all the support you continue to show us.
