December News!

Well it is great to be home. Brooke is adjusting very well. She is now sleeping in her crib from about 9 pm to 7 am (Yeah!!). She is very happy during the day. At night....she is very fussy for about 3 hours!! She likes watching Barney so we turn that on for her to watch sometimes when she won't stop crying! She is starting to crawl and will be all over our house by next week. Brooke is now 6 months old!



She was sick last week with the RSV virus. She has not acted like she is sick, so this is good. Brooke likes to look at board books, play on the floor with toys, taking baths, and sleeping in her swing.



Andrew has done great. He plays with Brooke and is interacting more each day with her. We all head back to work and school this week. We have been off for about one month! I am attempting to upload photos of our journey using smilebox so watch for these photos!

Michelle,

I enjoyed the slide show and following along with you all while you were on your journey to bring Brooke home. We hope that she is transitioning well.

We are hoping that you will be able to join us for CNY on Friday 1/30. Not sure if you have had a chance to keep up with the Athens FCC board since you have returned. I know that I hadn't seen you posting at all on there so I just wanted to make sure that you knew when we were holding it this year.

We hope you are able to join in the celebration. If you are able to come please register your family in the database. Also we are trying to update the current database of memebers and if you have time could you also add your family information in there as well.

Glad you are all home safely and hope to see you on the 30th.
