David is growing up so quickly! He looks like a little boy more than ever! I am just such a proud mama, I love him dearly. We are so happy to someday soon bring Evan home! Here is what David has been up to:
-David can now push himself from tummy up to sitting!
-David can pull to stand most of the time. (It depends on what his hands is holding on to- if it's rigid or soft)
-David is cruising fine
-David is always trying to climb on me!!! He's finally moving so much more than ever!
-David can understand commands like: Pat your head, pat your mouth, pat your legs, clap your hands, rub your tummy, lets jump, lets stand, all done!
-David consistently will sign the following: "more" "daddy" and "all done". We are currently working on "please" and, of course, "mama".
-I feel like David is really understanding me so much more, I love that we're communicating! If I say/sign "do you want to eat?" he will get so happy and clap his hands. It's simple, but he's understanding me now!
-David has 3 teeth so far! 2 top molars, and 1 bottom front tooth. He doesn't seem to be teething at the moment!
Now for our adoption! We are trying so hard to get the home study finished, but there are just little hiccups. Like the agency told me that my references didn't need to have the forms notarized. So they send in the forms, and now they're saying they need it notarized. So it just adds weeks to everything to try to get everyone to get their paperwork notarized and mailed in. So the very last needed reference/friend is in town, and we will be taking him to the notary on Monday so he can get it done! We will also get our financial form notarized, and hopefully we will have everything turned in then at that point. Then we will be waiting for our final home study interview and for the final report to be written for our approval before it is sent to the adoption agency.
This process is taking so long, but I know as soon as we are done everything else will happen so fast! Every night (and day!) I am praying for Evan. My heart just aches for him, I just need to be patient. Looking back, I will realize that God was perfecting the timing for everything. No matter how much I want to rush this, some things are just out of my control. But God is always in control. So amen to that!
Tomorrow I have some wonderful yard sale donations for Evan! I will be picking up some good-quality furniture. I am so excited for these donations! We are tentatively planning on the 2nd weekend of August for the yard sale. My vision for this is to have lots of help, to have a bake sale and a gift basket raffle at the sale. I hope to have everything organized, and I hope to have the sale advertised in the newspaper, and on craigslist as well. I have lots to plan for this sale, any tips or volunteers are greatly appreciated! :-)
