Isaiah
He loves Brad! It’s nice to see how comfortable he is so quickly. He shows a little more affection to me each day too. He loves to eat hamburgers, but not french fries or ketchup. He loves playing with anything. We have been to a few playgrounds and he loves each thing. He loves building with legos and hopes we get some more when we get to America. We went swimming yesterday for the first time and he loved it. He is also hoping he gets some goggles, floaties and a kickboard when we get home too. He is a great big brother and loves to hold Jacob and play cars or ball with both Jacob and Kaleb. We are working on teaching him that he needs to tell us where he is going and asking for permission to eat things or go places. He loves to just take off, which can be scary for us when we turn around and he is gone. It is also normal around here to litter and throw your wrappers or garbage on the street, so we are also working on putting wrappers in a garbage can.
Kaleb
Kaleb wakes up each morning with a huge smile and likes to give kisses right away. The first few nights he didn’t want me to hold him when he was going to sleep but the last few nights I have held him until he falls asleep and wakes up wanting to snuggle too. He likes balls and cars, but he’s not too interested in books yet. He is getting better at not hitting as much. He is still obsessed with electrical outlets and cords. He is constantly sticking his fingers in the sockets or playing with the cords. He doesn’t like to be told ‘no’ but his meltdowns are getting fewer and fewer day by day, thank you Lord!! The first day was great, but days 2-5 were hard. Since the 2nd day he has been saying “hi” and waving to people. Then a few days ago he started saying “thank you” too. He still calls everyone “dada”. He LOVES lights, he likes to turn them on and off or just look at them. Kaleb wasn’t too sure about bath time the first few times, but he seems to like each bath a little more.
Jacob
Jacob has really warmed up to his brothers. He is doing much better sharing mom and dad too. He seems to be feeling much better than he did the first week we were here. He is now walking 90% of the time. He can go from one side of the room to the other!
We are having so much fun with all the family time. Life is crazy and busy now. But it’s great! And we both go to bed even earlier than we did before. Looking forward to many more family full-filled days!!
Great Post! Is it just me or do Jacob and Kaleb look a lot alike?! LOL! I have to tell you, I laugh when I read your posts about Kaleb. He sounds just like BJ was when we picked him up! BJ was DRAWN to the light sockets and HATED baths. The first time we put him in the bath, he looked around then as if someone turned him on, he started to scream and literally tried to crawl up my arm to get out of the tub! Now of course, we can't get out of any type of pool or tub! LOL! He also didn't know how to hug us when we first got there. His arms would be stretch out to his sides and it was like hugging a piece of cardboard. However, that changed quickly! It sounds like your boys are adjusting nicely! How much English does Isaiah know? He seems to be catching on. Love your pictures! You all are in our prayers!!
