First day at the park!
Brooke and Andrew watching Barney!!
Brooke's News:
Brooke will be 8 months old tomorrow. This month she has learned to pull up and wants to stand all the time. She has started to climb the stairs. She likes to play with anything that is not a toy!She is still sleeping through the nights. Her day time naps have increased from about 15 mins to 1-2 hours (two times per day). She is very happy in the morning. The is just the opposite in the evening. She hates to go to sleep and gets so tired that she has a huge melt down. We really try not to be out in the evening with her! She is babbling and will say DaDa. She is getting very vocal. She is getting all over the place.
Michelle News:
I am changing jobs and this has been very stressful. I really am looking forward to my new job. It's just stressful with a new baby and learning a new job. I don't suggest starting a new job so soon after adopting a new baby!!!
Andrews News:
Andrew has done great at basketball. Tomorrow is his last game! He is really looking forward to baseball. We have made so many friends through baseball and look forward to seeing everyone. On our 1st warm day in February, Andrew enjoyed taking Brooke to our local park. We saw many friends there!
Family News!
We have had several warm days in February and look forward to spring, camping and baseball. Today it was 65, tomorrow night the news is saying SNOW! The high will be 35-40 on Sunday. By Thurs it will be in the 60's again! This is one of the great things about AL is the weather. We have a few cold days then warm days! It is so boring in the winter!! Great timing to bring home a new baby!! We have a camping trip planned in March and really hope Brooke does great. If anyone knows of a good baby hiking backpack let me know!!

Hi, I've been following your blog. We are waiting to hear if we are approved for Taiwan (JOH and Lifeline) and your blog has been very encouraging! Brooke and Andrew are cuties. Anyway, we've used the Kelty FC 1 carrier with our boys and it's been great, some of our friends use it as well... they have them at REI and AL Outdoors. We hope to hear from JOH this week...
Oh my gosh, Brooke is doing so many things!! LOVE all the photos and its so heart warming to see how beautifully your family has settled into a happy family of 4! I'm especially fond of the one of you & Brooke and the basketball shot.....oh, how that must make Daddy's heart sing! :)
I so hope that things get settled quickly with your job transition and I know you are eager for your new and wonderful schedule. It will give you so much time with the kiddos!
I can't believe baseball season is beginning again.....wow...that has to mean Spring is almost here!! Wishing Andrew so much fun and luck for his season!
Both of your kiddos are just gorgeous.....
Thanks for sharing!

Brooke is just so precious! It looks like you are all settled in and Andrew looks like such a great big bro. I am so glad to hear how easily Brooke adjusted and to see how happy you all look! Best of luck with the new job, I can imagine that must be a huge stress! And we've got the crazy weather here in East Tenn also, snow one day, 60's the next...
Thanks for posting an update!
