So Many Updates

I'm so behind on my posts, oops! The time just goes by so fast and just when I think I have time to post I remember I have to do something or I'm just so tired and need to go to bed. No, I'm not complaining, in fact loving every minute of my life right now!

This is Briar's 3rd week of daycare and he has adjusted extremely well. No issues, eats and sleeps well there and no fussing when we leave. He is just the happiest baby I've ever seen. We are so lucky. Mommy and Daddy on the other hand had a hard time adjusting to daycare but I think we have finally figured out our morning routine and getting things ready.

We turned in our paperwork to our agency for the finalization. The agency first has to do yet another background check (Goodness! I think this is the 4th one to date) and then they will send the paperwork to the Court. Once the Court receives and does their thing they will inform us we can schedule our hearing. It's a long shot but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it is before the end of the year. I know my parents want to be here for it and they leave a few days after Christmas for their stint down in Florida.

It finally happened, our little guy got a cold. He made it to almost 6 months and it wasn't even from daycare, he got it from Daddy :( Even when he is sick he is still a happy little boy. It started this last Saturday and hasn't been too bad of a cold, he seems to be getting better but of course Mommy also came down with it on Monday. We should all be recovered by Turkey day.

One last update I'd like to give. Dan did a wonderful job for my birthday! He really did pull through this year. Briar and him even baked a cake and decorated it for me (okay Briar just sat in his bouncy chair and directed Daddy on what to do). Briar also picked out a beautiful Circle of Love necklace for me and even signed the card! Here is a link to some of my birthday pictures.

I'm a little pumpkin....

Briar's first Halloween was very exciting! He sported a festive outfit for the day and then wore his costume for alittle over an hour at night. He also had a few visitors so that he didn't have to go out for his Trick or Treating. Grandpa and Grandma came over first and then Ron and Lance stopped by as well. It was a nice little Halloween party at our house! Below are a few of the pictures, if you'd like to see all click here.
