In fact, we have had Michael in our lives now for over a month since Gotcha Day on July 30th! The time has gone by so quickly. Michael is doing so well. We had our first post-placement visit this week with our social worker, who came here to our house to visit and see Michael.

He really is a happy child (except for those waking hours at 2:00am. Hes not very happy then, but we have new molars breaking through to thank for that!!). Michaels personality is so wonderful, and he loves attention. He is so very social too, not being afraid to meet anyone. In the past few days, he has been "talking" alot. We sure wish we knew what he was saying! We continue to talk with him and have a feeling that one day he will all of a sudden start saying more words. He does know Ma Ma, Da Da, and bye-bye. He also has learned how to blow kisses. It is so cute. And just last week, we were in the car listening to music and I was snapping my fingers to the music. The other day when I was changing Michaels diaper, he started to try and snap his fingers. It was so funny. He loves to imitate! And last week, he turned 17-months old!!! We had a busy Labor Day weekend, visiting with family and friends. And we are making plans to take our first trip out to Philadelphia to see our family and friends there and introduce Michael to all of them. We have caught some great new pictur...
