10 weeks today...

Tonight for supper we had Taco Bell. We had plans of going out for supper tonight, but a certain toddler decided not to nap and so going out for a meal was not in the cards. We got Taco Bell instead. As we sat down to supper, Steve asked me if I remembered the last time we ate Taco Bell. Of course, I could not and he said the night we brought Jax home. Exactly 10 weeks ago tonight, we ate Taco Bell. Exactly 10 weeks ago tonight, our son spent his first night home with his forever family.

Then I started thinking about how much he has changed in the last 10 weeks. How much he amazes me every day. How he is such a little comedian and loves to make people laugh. I love how he wants to help us every chance he gets. He makes sure that we have our phones close by at all times and if our phones ring or we get a text he yells, "Ma"  or "Daddy" to make sure that we heard it. I love how much he loves to sing and how randomly through the day I'll hear him singing, "All through the Town," or "e-i-e-i-o." I love how he loves Ally and how he'll stand between Ally and Devin when they are fighting and point his finger and say "No, NO." I love that he's a little sponge and repeats most of the words that we say. I love that at breakfast one day this week out of the blue he starts humming the Olympic theme song. This kid is pretty amazing and we are so blessed to have him in our lives!

We've been pretty busy lately. The last weekend in July we went to Des Moines for the weekend. We met friends that are preparing to go to Korea to pick up their children. I'm so excited that Jax's Korean friends are coming home.

Always driving! 

Last weekend we went to Riceville for Wapsi Days. It was raining for the parade, but we still enjoyed ourselves.

Sophie waves at each car that drives back. It's so funny!

This week Jax was sick. He had an ear infection and strep throat. Poor little guy was feeling so bad and I felt so helpless that there wasn't anything that I could do to help him. He did seem happiest when he was cuddling with his puppers!

Looking all dapper with his hands in his pockets.

Now I'm getting ready to go back to school. I'm excited for the start of the new year, but I'm nervous about being away from Jaxson. I know that he's going to love daycare and he is going to be getting the best care possible, but I'm still going to miss him!
