Six Months of Joy!

Ethan is 6 months old. He has decided that he is big enough to do things now. He can sit up on the floor all by himself. And yesterday he finally rolled over, from his back to his stomach. I am debating counting it since I wasn't there to see it. I had an all important spa day appointment with some friends. Ethan is 24lbs and 29 1/4inches long per his doctor visit. He is HUGE, but I have HUGE biceps because of it. I know you all are jealous.

The sitting up cutie pie.
November 19th was National Adoption Day. We decided to celebrate it since



Our Adoption was FINALIZED that day!

YAHOO!

This is a horrible picture because I had just stopped crying, so I have that lovely flush that accompanies tears. We have been so anxious for our adoption to be complete that once the guardian ad litem (Ethan's lawyer) recommended that we be given permanent custody I lost it. Such relief and joy. He is ours. Next step the Temple. Don't worry, we will post pictures when that all happens. Thanks for all of your prayers.
They served cake and punch to celebrate. Ethan got a bag full of free things like this t-shirt and hat. He even got a teddy bear and bunny.

How did I miss this post? CONGRATS! So happy for you.

We finalized on the 19th too, but the court didn't do a goodie bag or punch or even mention the holiday.
