Oh....yep, we are still waiting

So here we are....still waiting and waiting and waiting for the finalization to happen. Is it frustrating--YES!!! Am I tired of the waiting--YES!!! Is it worth it--YES!! Every single moment has been worth it and I would do it all over again (which could be in the plans in a few years).

At this point we are in limbo waiting on the "packet" to be completed and sent to state office for review. I put "packet" in quotations because its the one thing that is causing me to go crazy b/c its the one step that we have no control over or know what exactly has been done. The packet basically lets the powers that be in Columbia know about our child, the process that we have been thru and I assume about us too.

After the packet is reviewed then we can sign our adoption agreement and get the ball rolling with our attorney for a court date. We are willing to go anywhere in the state to get the adoption finalized b/c we are ready to share our sweet boy with the world. He is super cute ;)

Now that you know the crazy part of what is going on here is the fun stuff #the duke is doing too:

  • eating more solid/table foods but loves to pretend to choke to see mommy react
  • loves, loves to take a bath and play with bubbles
  • Roddy is his best buddy and protector
  • loves to play with and watch other children
  • loves to laugh
  • loves to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
  • sneezes when he eats anything with bananas
  • likes to pull daddy's hair on his arms and back to wake him up in the mornings
  • likes to kick the crib
  • is strong as an ox
  • loves to play his drums
  • loves to video chat with his NeNe and PawPaw
  • loves his weekly visits with Grandma Barbara b/c they ready books together
  • hates wearing shoes/socks 
  • gives the best snuggles
Life with #theduke is perfectly imperfect. <3 br="">
