Some notes I jotted on the calendar since Michelle was born:
On March 28th Kaelah created an imaginary big white dog named "Silly" who had a yellow collar & leash.
On March 29th Danny waved good-bye to Daddy for the first time & uses the sign for "drink."
On March 31st Danny used the sign for "bird" when he saw geese at the zoo with Grandma & Shannon.
On April 1st Danny clapped his hands & made the sign for "baby" as I sang Baby Beluga to him & Kaelah in the bath tub.
On April 2nd Kaelah went upstairs & brought me her pillow Grandma Wilcox made her so Michelle could eat on it.
On April 4th Danny crawled up the big stairs AND stood up all by himself.
On April 6th Danny began clicking his tongue.
On April 10th Danny crawled over to Michelle & gave her a toy & Kaelah, upon being put to bed on Saturday night, told me, "Nursery is fun. Church is fun. I love going to church." She's also pretty excited that the next time we go to church Mommy & Michelle are going too.
On April 15th we got a swing set off Craigslist. Hooray!

I was just looking at the pictures on your sidebar. It's amazing how things can change so much in one year. Can you believe that at this time last year you didn't even have your papers in for Danny? Wow, wow, wow! I hope things are going as good for you as it sounds. The {bigger} kids look like they are adjusting well to a baby sister.

What a great idea! We have a calendar too but I don't jot specific things on it, but what a great way to keep a journal without having to bust out the notebook.

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. (:
