It seems like forever....

...but we have only been home 1 month. It is truly divine intervention when your little one adjusts so well to his family. I owe so much to the fabulous enviroment he was raised in prior to coming home. He knew what it felt like for his needs to be met and he learned how to love. Thank you Shanghai Baby Home for loving our little boy so well!
Liam is our first child who.....
*climbed out of his crib
*gets into everything
*dumbs his food on the floor and then stomps on it (I think this happens everyday!)
*I can tell him "no" 1,000 times a day and he still doesn't "get it"
*goes to sleep by himself and loves to sleep
* IS THE HAPPIEST BOY I KNOW!!!!
I took Liam and Lily outside today and got a few pictures of them. It is another beautiful day with temperatures in the 70's. These two are definatley two peas in a pod. You will never see one without the other not being far behind.
