Testing Testing 1, 2, 3

We have good news for everyone! Alla got court scheduled for THIS Friday!! Hallelujah!! We were so excited that I gave Alla a BIG Kiss on her cheek. We were one of the few couples that did get our court scheduled for Friday. We are blessed to have Alla and the favor of God on our side.



Boy oh Boy what an active child Andrew was today. From morning till afternoon he just didn't want to sit still. He is getting stronger and stronger as each day goes by and more and more active. Last week, he wanted to sit a lot or be held and walk a little bit. Today he didn't want to sit still much, he wasn't sleepy at all...he was just on the go, go, go. Sounds like Robert, ehhh?? We also noticed that he was testing us today to see how much he could get away with. When we purchased the lawn furniture we also purchased a little chair for Andrew as well. Today was the first day that he actually wanted to sit in it. Of course since it was plastic we had to keep it steady so it wouldn't fall over when he was getting in and out of it. When it came time to feed him we placed him in his chair and halfway throughout feeding him he started to stand up in the chair. I told him to sit and he wasn't listening at first so I firmly said sit and pointed to the chair and as Robert was holding the chair waiting for him to listen to me Andrew (with food on his face) gave us this silly grin like he was saying (yeah right). So I pulled the food away and said for him to sit (more firmly) or no more food. So he sit down and then we continued feeding him. He didn't seem that hungry today either. He ate about half of a jar of baby food and was playing with it instead of eating it. He was really playing with me by putting his tongue in the way so the spoon wouldn't fit in his mouth and then he would finally open up wide enough and he wouldn't close his mouth to take the food, instead he would let me scrap the food off into the roof of his mouth and he would keep his mouth open and let the food drop to the bottom of his mouth and then smile with food squishing out of his mouth. Such a silly happy boy he has become in such a short time. We have noticed that he is getting a bit heavier as well.



Today we noticed that he hasn't had his hair washed in a while so we washed his hair with a baby wipe and Robert thought it was funny when his hair was all spiked up (as you can see in the picture below).






Just wanted to add that tonight I had veal at a restaurant and let me just say that it certainly doesn't compare to Catelli Brothers' Veal. Boy am I spoiled with such quality veal from Catelli Brothers. I miss it as well as all of my family at Catelli Brothers and our family at home and at Victory Christian Fellowship Church! It's great to get emails from everyone while we are here. Makes us feel closer to everyone. Sorry if we haven't responded to everyone's emails, very limited here. Just wanted you all to know that your emails, thoughts and prayers are sooooo much appreciated. Until tomorrow. Paka (Good bye)
