Houston - We have a .......

Walker!

Abigail has been slowly gaining confidence with her walking. Last Wednesday she stood up from a seated position for the first time. Looked like a tiny little person doing squats but without the weights. So she has been walking more and more since then. Tonight she started going clear from one room to the next and back without stopping to hold on to anything. Life will never be the same.

And speaking of never being the same, we submitted our full application with Generations for our second adoption. There are a few pieces of paperwork we still have to turn in but we are basically waiting to update our home study and then we will hopefully be approved and waiting.

I can already tell that this time around is going to be very different. The stress is not near the same because we have Abigail to fill our lives with right now while we wait.

And our other milestone for the week - Abigail moved up to the next level car seat. Which means facing forward. She is totally looking like a little girl and not a baby anymore. And she's getting more teeth to go with her older look. Almost a mouth full now.

I better get back to her, she's started to throw things out of her play-pen so I guess she's ready to get out and walk around.

God Bless,
Jerry

How things change

So Abigail is walking a bit now. Just amazing how she is starting to look more and more like a little girl and less like a baby. It seems like she is getting a new tooth every day. Lots of teething means lots of crankiness, but she is still so sweet most of the time.

One of her favorite things to do right now is go outside. She will nearly jump out of my arms for joy when I open the back door to take her outside.

For those who don't know we are starting the adoption process again so with God's timing Abigail will be a big sister. The way that she loves her baby dolls I just know she is going to be a very loving and helpful big sister some day.

We've been a bit behind in downloading pictures, more will come soon I promise.

With God's Love,

Jerry
