Listed our Home~Put an Offer in on another!




I know we are crazy! But we really need more room. Since Mobile homes are selling, better than single family homes right now,A. cheaper B. less taxes. We decided since our adoption was our main prioroty, and thats over and Daniels here. We would search for a larger home. David did alot of reasearch, and we decided what we could afford and still pay the morgage on this until it sells. We put an offer in yesterday, so we will see what happens next. If Daniel wasnt here, I would be terrified to move and do this. But I know this is the best decesion now, while we can get out of our Moblie home. I will miss it! If it wasnt for this house we would not be able to have affored our IVF loan, all our pregnacey loss expenses', Two 2.2 acre lots we intended on building a house out in the country, but sold to help us with our Adoption funds. We have paid cheap morgage, and were able to save, save, save. Now we have our family, we need more space to run, to store things, and have more then 3 people in our livingroom, to watch tv!




Dont want to get my hopes up on this house, but I am happy with putting our current home on the market!




Daniel update:




He is giving us kisses on the lips. Its never ending. We caught him kissing, Davids wood ducks and kissing a wooden bear on the fireplace. Every night and morning I'd watch him give lip kisses to his stuffed animals. I guess practicing. Now he is more than comforable with giving them to us all day long~


Love it!




uhhh he also tinkled alittle on his potty! Yay!

Daniels report

Well as most of you know, Daniels appointment at MUSC childrens IA clinic went well. There has been some really good progress. In his development, social and gross motor skills he is at 22-24months. Which is great. His speech is behind at an 18 month level. Not too concerned. Hes picking some news works or sounds up everyday. I am looking into early intervention for speech therapy. He has gained weight about 3lbs in 2.5 weeks. They check his stool for a parasite, he had some bloating and gas, and has had loose stool the last 4 days. But it came back negitive. So running some more tests, and cutting back the juice to just water, milk, and the pedialite. They detected a heart murmur. Kinda scary, but we wont know how it is affecting him with the open valve untilm his appointment in febuary. His allergist appointment went well, he only had a reaction to the carrots in the controlled test. The doctor gave up a rx for the eppi pen. This way if he come in contact with it, we are prepared. So since no peanut allergy, guess who got PP&J for lunch? He loved it!
Some words he can say are:
pup-pup (puppy)
mama
up ( or sometimes up-up)
hi
hey
hello
bye- bye
has half of uh oh saying uh, but making the oh with his mouth, but cant quite get it out

He can make barking noise's
likes to point his finger an shake it at the dogs
try's to pick up the dogs, or if he is stilling on the couch, he'll tap the couch to motion for the dogs to come up.

I set up the potty trainer today. As soon as I put it in the bathroom he started to pull his pants down and sit on it. It was too cute! Since it might be alittle hard to to the pee pee part. I know he has a bowel movement after breakfast so I'll try then. Its been forever since I have been on here. When I get time, I try to get caught up with work, then getting papers together for tax season, ugh~! When get time to have mommy time, its reading a book in bed, or watching tv ( favorite Man vr. Wild) or my guilty pleasure is reality TV on VH1. I just think those people are so crazy, its almost too funny to watch! By far is a really good book. So i'm going to end this to get into my book by my night stand.

will post pics soon!
