Eight

Our case worker came by for a visit last week. I cannot believe that we have been a family for eight months now. Parenting is still very new to us and we are learning a lot. I am grateful that we have so many friends with children around the same age as Jackson. We are able to share the triumphs and challenges of parenting young children.

Jackson's speech has really taken off.  He has become very verbal and labels everything he sees. We were looking through a photo album the other day and he said the names of all the people in the book. Jackson will also ask about people we saw two months ago! Jackson will talk to family members on a daily basis.  His mode of coommunication is Facetime. The first few times we used Facetime, Jackson just stared at the screen. Now, he is at the point where he can communicate through words. It is amazing to see how he talks to his grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.

Next week we will celebrate our First Thanksgiving together. I know it will be extra special...

We hope that you all have a great November. Happy Thanksgiving!

Fun times in October!!!
