This boy is already 6 months old!!

And sweetheart at that!! Bye bye to the cranky, grouchy little boy. He is a cutie and a sweetie these days! He has full bodied laughs at his silly siblings, tons of smiles, and is usually happy as long as someone is in the room with him. He has these cutest little fat rolls, and is always smothered by momma's kisses. I THINK everything has settled down now, and the aunt is no longer fighting DHS's decision for us to adopt him, so hopefully, we will have a smooth ride until we get to adopt. We are still waiting on Zachariah's dad's appeal to be over, and looks like that won't be over until the Fall.....so it still may be next year before we get to finalize their adoptions. That is o.k....as long as they are mine!

Oh I know I have already said how cute he is....but he is so stinking cute! It has been awesome to have the stress lifted away, and to just get to love and enjoy by babies. I can't believe he is already 6 months. He will be a year old before we know it. Next month starts off all our babies birthdays, and it will go like this....

Leah will turn 8 in June,

Zachariah will turn 2 in July

Noah will turn 9 in July

We will have been married 11 years in August

Rachel will turn 7 in September

AND...

Christian will be 1 in October.

When you look at it like that, I want to tell time to SLOW DOWN! My babies are all growing up too fast on me!

Lately, I have been looking at the boys and thinking about how much their bio parents are missing out on. That is a blessing for me, b/c I get to have that joy, but it makes me sad that their mom can't even know the joy that I get from her babies. I think about how lucky I felt when I got Zachariah, and how I have always treasured and adored him....and I didn't even know that taking him, would bless me twice! Because of him, now I have Christian too! What a double blessing they are to our family. And then I wonder...."could their mom be pregnant again?" Did you know they have an older sibling somewhere out there that is 3...so by looking at her history, I wouldn't be one bit surprised if she was...she was pregnant with Christian when Zachariah was this age. I was talking with the caseworker yesterday, and he said, "yep, we could just fill your house up with her babies"....and I was thinking...I think you have already done that! :)

He is sitting up pretty well now unassisted.

This look is so funny!

He is starting to think about crawling...he pushes himself way up now, and kicks his legs, and is able to scoot a little...it will not be long I know until he is on the move! He has too many people to keep up with around here!
