Our Beautiful Joseph!

Precious Peanut


We have some new photos and a description to share with everyone. A traveling family reported that he seems very small (which we were aware of) and kind of shy. She said that he smiled easily, making eye contact, and is SITTING UP! WHAT A MILESTONE!!! These pictures do not help my anxiousness to get him as he needs his mommy to fatten him up!! A little known fact about me is that I LOVE watching my boys eat! My friends laugh at me, but they are both so picky that I am always thrilled when they have a good meal-- yes, they are 5 and 7 and it still makes me so happy when they chow down. It's funny, my job at the hospital as a Speech Therapist is also all about getting people back to eating food. I'll have my job cut out for me with this wee one, it looks like!!! Turner nicknamed him "Little Joe". IF ANYONE ELSE CALLS HIM JOE, I WILL SEEK AND DESTROY, but it's cute when Turner says it:)

We will have to get Joseph and Maiya together sometime since I don't think we live that far away from you. I am still hoping for the end of MARCH to be in the air flying to get our baby girl!
