Wow, yesterday was our 1month home mark! Time sure flew! And YES we've had so much fun with Mr Wiggly! His transition is going much smoother than we could have ever hoped for! Thank you God and thank you to all who have been praying for us. We are having what I would call normal temper tantrum issues. Nothing too alarming. The battle of the wills has begun! We are now settling in to being parents and no longer baby sitters. Our little guy has brought us so much joy every day. We have slowly introduced him to extended family and friends. We are still being careful and vigilant to "over stimulation" - probably more so myself. We've had our first post placement visit by our social worker and she seemed to agree that Mr Wiggly appears happy where he is. Of course, he put on a really good show when she came. Way to go Mr Wiggly! Our doctor repeated 3times how fortunate and lucky we were to have gotten such a well taken care of baby and a good looking one too! We sure have been blessed. He was happy to report of Mr Wiggly's normal labs. Plus one special need kicked to the curb according to lab results! Praise God! Here are a "few" pics from our first month...
Yeppers! He's a happy camper when there's food in front of him! Any more spaghetti left Daddy? What about some dessert?
He gets the bottle 3 times a day. He is now mostly on whole milk. He now drinks his night bottle on UD's lap.
He also freaks out when the phone rings. His eyes shout "That's mine, that's mine, that's mine!"
He loves the water... bath, pool, creek, dish water, faucet, bird bath or toilet bowl water! He cannot wait to get into his bath.
Mr Wiggly and his Pororo airplane - his favorite toy. Our foster mom sent this with us along with a bunch of other toys.
Here is his 2nd favorite toy, thanks to the W. family.
He also loves just playing with boxes and anything else he gets a hold of.
On nice sunny days, we take him out for a wagon ride around the neighborhood. The wagon, courtesy of friends at MAC.
Hanging out with Daddy. Mr Wiggly loves sound books. He has no interest for reading books at this time but we're encouraging it slowly at a time.
Here he is with cousin T. at last. He also loves playing with this refrigerator alphabet toy. Except every once in a while, we find some of the letters in the trash.
Want to take a wild guess what he's doing in the laundry basket?
Stink! Why does mommy always has the camera on when I'm messing with no-no stuff?
At the end of a "calmer" day, this is how our living room floor looks like. Mommy isn't complaining at all!
The night UD came home after his first day back to work, Mr Wiggly was all eyes on his Daddy! It was the cutest, sweetest thing to see. He showed Daddy some lovins by feeding him and "enduring" some kisses from Daddy.
Above, Mr Wiggly, supervising Daddy, making sure the hose got put away nice and neat.
Above, doing "Kunji, Kunji" with mommy. This is sort of the Korean version to Patty Cake.
Happiness dangling from Daddy's arms and riding Daddy's shoulders.
And PJ too!
And GM too! He loves Patty Cake with GM...
and GM's horsey ride.
Our Emperor baby on his throne!
Working on his Mr GQ look!
"Happy to be me".... this is our Mr Wiggly to the T. Weeelllllll, unless he doesn't get what he wants... but we're working on it.
Mr Wiggly is learning to understand English. Yesterday, Aunt D. taught him high five, he's learned to squeeze his nose (sometimes mouth) when we say beep, beep, and he's been waving left and right when we say bye, bye. Otherwise he jabbers in Korean. In fact he said a new Korean word yesterday but not sure what it meant if it means anything.
I leave you with a "few" more pics: a peekaboo series and a lemon face series -----
Until yesterday, this was the kind of peekaboo he would do - hide behind something other than the hands.
Then yesterday, after waking up from his afternoon nap....
wait for it............
peek......
a...........
booo.............
Yaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!
And then the lemon face! He tried his first lemon last night despite fair warning he wouldn't like it...
LOL!!!!!!
Uh...... you call this good food???????
And yet he laughed with us and ate that thing for another 5minutes or so. He is just hilarious! He gave us such a good laugh last night. Good laughs or not, we love our little guy so much! As I rejoice in having our little guy home for a month, my heart is also saddened for my friend C. who has to wait a little longer than expected to go get her little girl from Korea. Please join me in lifting her and her husband in prayer as they continue to wait for their call.
Thank you for enduring the few pics and thanks for sharing in our joy!
