So sorry I've been so lax on getting this blog updated...I've had a difficult time making the transition from one kiddo to two...but I'm hoping we're on the upswing now! As you can see from the pictures, Graham is doing GREAT! The pic below is of him enjoying one of his favorite breakfasts of cinnamon sugar toast!...doesn't it look like he needs a shave! ha.
Grahamm and Amelia are getting along a lot better now. This is a picture of the two of them digging for rollie-pollie bugs in the backyard this week...they stay busy playing now that Amelia has figured out (most days) that he's here to stay.
And here's his famous grin. He's such a happy baby! This was when we were celebrating my Mother's birthday last month...he loves being out and about.
He has settled in and is doing so well! After we'd been home about 6 weeks I started to see him really respond to English. The biggest clue he was really catching on came one morning when I couldn't find him - and was looking all over the house for him. I found him in the Living Room over in the corner. When he turned and started walking towards me his mouth looked full! "What's in your mouth?" I asked...and he opened his mouth and out fell Amelia's "My little pony" tiny, tiny horse shoes...several of them! ha. As of today I would say his current English comprehension is about 90%...of course, he is only 15 months old!Tomorrow (Wednesday the 20th) he is having surgery at Children's Hospital in Oakland. We have had several appointments since we got home in May, and because of his age, they put him on the list for surgery in a speedy fashion. I'll post from the hospital if it's possible and fill you all in. In the meantime...we would appreciate your prayers. All the medical staff assure us that the children recover much more quickly than the parents! haha.
So that's it for now - just wanted to catch you up and let you know of our big day tomorrow. Thank you for all your love and support!

Hi Christy,
By now you know Willow could not join Graham for "the big day"...another bad cold!
Hope all goes beautifully!
Warmly,
Victoria
Hey Christy,
So glad to see an update (it's a good thing I kept checking back). Graham is adorable and looks like he fits in really well. I'm too late to pray about the surgery, so I'll say a quick prayer that he has healed well and is on the mend.
We're now home with our 2nd daughter also and it IS different having two little ones at home (even though we actually have FIVE big and little ones running around here!) -- but the big boys started school today so they're not around to be my eyes and ears anymore, and I'm left with a 2 1/2 year old and a 1 1/2 year old, completely outnumbered.
Enjoy these days with your precious kiddos -- they go by so quickly!
