miracle wall

This photo is from our adoption agency - a wall of miracle adoptions and Logan is smack in the middle of it.

I can remember the first time that we visited this agency's office over two and a half years ago, I wondered it our family would be blessed enough to have a photo of our child on that wall and now we're on it.

It's a miracle!

In other news, Logan is almost crawling. Each day he gets closer and closer. Every afternoon I bring him home from daycare and sit him down on the floor to see how much his crawling skills have progressed. Now he spends a lot of time on all fours - rocking. He just has to figure out how to move forward and stay above the floor.

Our social worker is coming for a home tour next week, then we will have our completed homestudy in hand. That's a good feeling.

I'm trying to wean Logan from nursing, but it is so hard! I'm going to have to be more diligent. I've basically got about a month from today to complete the process - hopefully it isn't overly dramatic for either one of us. Right now he still really wants to nurse, especially when we get home from daycare and just before bed.

I'll just have to take this day by day and hopefully neither one of us is in too much pain. I have a good supply of frozen milk.

Sending prayers for all of you on this journey.

fingerprints

His tiny fingerprints are all over the house.

On the mirror in the hallway where we make goofy faces at the glass and say "Who is this? Who is this? Is that my little boy?"

On the glasses that he reaches for at the dinner table. (Last weekend he reached forward and grabbed a glass and tipped it over the both of us.)

On all of his toys.

Forever on my heart. His fingerprints.

We went to the city services building on Thursday night, down into the basement to their fingerprinting processing room to get our fingerprints done for what will be our third homestudy.

Two times before this we have completed all of the paperwork, filled out all of the forms. Jumped through hoop after hoop.

I did it this time with him in my arms.

A completely different experience.

He smiled at the police officer doing our prints. The cop said: "You have one happy baby."

And one happy and grateful mama.

Homestudy # 3 is almost complete.

Happy 4th of July weekend everyone!
