Bubbas & Games & Shoes

Image
By Sarah
Kaelah's new favorite hobby is playing with bubbles. It only took her one week to learn how to request them too, "bubbas." Here my wonderful husband is taking a break from vacuuming the sofa to play. Yes, while I got to take Kaelah bike riding & buy shoes for her growing feet, my fantastic hubby took a nap and cleaned the family room. And I mean cleaned!
"Woah" is one of my favorite words to hear Kaelah say.
"Bubbas!"
The next two pictures are from last week. I finally caught on camera Kaelah being sneaky sneaky sneaky! Well, she's sneaky if you are deaf, blind & have no sense of touch, but oh, to hear the giggling! Kaelah also really likes to play Ring Around the Rosie now too & Meigou will even get in on it but walking under our arms. Kaelah does insist that she remain standing while Dan & I "fall down," though. It cramps her princess style. (:

P.S. Below is the picture of the shoes Kaelah & I biked downtown to buy. We did take pictures of Kaelah in her shoes this morning... Kaelah looked like she was pooping. Now believe me, we've been shopping for weeks. Kaelah has literally tried on every pair of dress shoes sold at Target & Pay Less Shoe Source didn't work out either. Kaelah has what I call "baby feet" but what professionals might call a "high in-step." She really needed some shoes that she could wear to church & most of her size 24 month dresses go well with brown or pink, so this is what we found. Perfection! I was so excited to go to church today!!!

Those shoes are so cute. I love them. I hate buying shoes for Abigail because they are so expensive. At least she isn't growing as fast anymore, so I might be able to stomach it sometime soon, but still... Shoes are expensive.

Yes, Carl does have a horrendous commute. It's about an hour and 20 minutes. The site is way out in the boondocks. If you look at a map of Idaho, follow highway 20 out of Idaho Falls, towards Craters of the Moon and it's out there. It's huge too. Yep, way out there.

Precious Pumpkin

By Sarah
Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Danny's 1st Year Video

By Sarah
Exactly one year ago today we got a call from our case worker. He told us there was a birth mother thinking of placing her son with us for adoption. Usually he didn't make such phone calls before an official decision was made, but he felt that this little boy was meant for us & we needed a little warning b/c the due date was June 12. Low & behold, 4 days later he called to say Dani had chosen us to be her baby's parents. 2 weeks later, we were bringing Danny home from the hospital. It is difficult to believe Danny's birthday is only 2.5 weeks away. When I look back I feel he & I were a little gipped with me getting pregnant so soon after he was born & becoming a big brother at only 9.5 months, but he is so healthy & happy. There is no way he could have been any better of a baby... I'm convinced he is the easiest/best little guy to have ever graced the planet. We are so blessed. He is truly a joy of a boy.

No check up, but doing great!

By Sarah
The pediatrician thought Kaelah was doing well enough to skip her 15-month check up... but I can't resist a formal update before she turns 16-months-old tomorrow. Of course I'll put this first on the list: Kaelah said her first Chinese word last week! Bi zi for nose -- which she heard for the first time in Hawaii. Looks like I'll have to pick out word #2 soon! Kaelah is selective about the music we listen to now. She'll either say, "no" or begin dancing. We're thrilled she will now fold her arms while we pray over the food & by her crib at night. Kaelah will also say "yummmm" while eating & will give high 5's and knuckles. I think you'll pick up most of the rest from the video. (:
