Family Fun

We have had a couple of great family fun days. I went to the Children's Museum with Andrew and Natalie on Friday morning where we met up with a friend and her son. We have not been the museum before but it was great. We all had a wonderful time. We then joined the Korean adoption playgroup for lunch, which isn't something we are usually able to do because I'm at work. We had a good time and Andrew helped out by feeding Natalie.



Friday night, Natalie helped celebrate the 2nd anniversary of Andrew's Gotcha Day, which was actually on Monday. We enjoyed a pizza dinner together but the highlight for both kids was the breadsticks!



On Saturday we enjoyed the beautiful weather by taking a hike. Andrew is old enough (and strong enough, I guess) to do some of the hiking himself, while Natalie just enjoyed the ride. We have two ergo carriers and have already gotten a lot of use out of both of them. After our hike we enjoyed a picnic lunch and while Natalie enjoyed eating, she enjoyed standing more!







Overall, things have been going very well the last couple of days. We are still working on expanding the list of foods that Natalie will eat, but she is sleeping well at night and explores and plays well during the day. She also lets you know when it is time for a hug, which is very nice. She doesn't cry too much, but does fuss if she isn't able to crawl or move around when she wants to! She also adores her older brother. Andrew and Natalie have shared a number of special moments where they hug or with their foreheads together, just look into each other's eyes. It is very sweet. Her favorite toy is whatever Andrew has, but she is not hesitant to open a cupboard door, dig into a bag, or pull over a basket with toys. She appears confident and happy, which in turn thrills us.
