Six Months Anniversary of Gotcha Day and Gotcha Day Video.

It is so hard to believe that it has only been 6 months.  At 8:52 pm today our time, it will be exactly 6 months from the moment we met Jaden.

He is such an amazing little guy.  He has learned so much English that he is completely conversant.  He understands 80-90% of what we say to him now.  He is adorable in ways that are hard to describe.  One of the cute things that he does always gets a giggle...when he was learning English early on, he would say "What you say?"  when he wanted us to repeat something that he didn't quite get.  (I wish I could catch a video of it.)  Now when we say something that he doesn't quite like, (ie:  No, you can't have a 4th peach right this minute.),  he looks confused, looks to someone else and says, "What she say?"  As if to say, surely that doesn't mean what it sounds like. :)

I was looking back at the pictures over the last 6 months and it still hurts a little to see how sad he was at first.  It was such a huge transition for him but he has just jumped right in to being a Sanford and has so much joy.  He brings so much fun to the office, we're really going to miss having him when he starts pre-K next month.

Tim made a Gotcha day video with a few pictures that are more recent.  I'll do my best to include it in this post.

Blessings y'all.



The first time I held Jaden!
