Update

All of our documents have been authenticated without any glitches! All we are waiting on right now is the CIS approval. We are so close to the waiting list...I can feel it! Check back the first part of June because that is when I am estimating us being on the list.

I Did It!!!

Dakota is not my talkative child by any means. He can say Dada, Mama, dog, ball, but mostly he points and says "da". So I was shocked today when he looked at me and said "I did it!" I thought maybe I was hearing things, but a few seconds later he said it again. This time my friend, Carie, heard him and confirmed that she heard the same thing. Later this evening I was telling Troy the story and not 10 minutes later Dakota says it again! So, I had to try and get it on film. This video is him saying "I did it!" Fair warning though, it is toward the end of the almost 2 minute video. So please wait for it...you will know when you hear it. The boy has been holding out on us. I am so proud that he can talk!

Fingerprinting...at last

We have a date set for our fingerprinting. It is May 20th! Does anyone remember how long it takes to get CIS approval after the fingerprinting? I would like an idea of how much longer, roughly, until we are on the waiting list. I can see the light at the end of the paper tunnel!!! We are so ready to be on the waiting list. As soon as we are on the list I will post and let you know what we are going to name the baby. Yes, we already have a mane because I need to be able to all this kid something before we know what it is. We did this when we were pregnant with Dakota. We had decided that we were not going to find out what we were having until he was born. So instead we picked out a name that we liked and could use for either a boy or a girl. It made the not finding out a whole lot easier because we had a name that the baby could go by. We are kind of using the same thought process for this one. If we have a name then the transition and wait will be a lot easier for us and the kiddos. So, stay tuned to for us to announce waitlist and our little one's name!
