Happy Valentine's day

We had a fun time getting together with other adoptive families today to celebrate Valentine's day. There were about 20 kids there--about half of the adoptees were from Guat, and the other half were from China. (The host couple has a 2 year old from Guat, and have been waiting on a China adoption for a couple of years.) It was neat to see Luke with other little Guate-tots and to share stories with the other families.

We are down to less than 3 weeks until due date (of course, hoping for a little sooner, as all pregnant women must). Tired, easily winded, moderately stressed--at least the easily winded should get better after the delivery!

Luke is doing great. He has become hooked on Yo Gabba Gabba (crazy show on Noggin if you haven't seen it--uncle Zach is hooked, too), so with his limited TV time, that's a big fave. His dad was proud when he pointed out nearly all the weird characters correctly the other night. He's using a couple more words--he says yes appropriately, and sometimes 'daw' for dog. I just have a feeling he has a ton of words in there he's going to spill out all at once sometime in the next few weeks. He's pretty effective at communicating with the signs we've taught him and with gestures and sounds he's chosen, but it will be nice to have a little more specificity than "mmm, mmmm" and pointing.
