5 months now...and I still don't have my mind around it!

We have had Austin for 5 months yesterday. My mind hasn't fully grasped being parents, but my heart is definitely there. Every day I tell myself, "gotta remember that one for the blog" and you sit down and the thoughts are gone. I want to capture every moment as they are all so special...Tonight we had fish (what he wanted), hamburgers, pork and beans, and potato chips. He said " I really like this", pointing to the pork and beans and saying all of it. He is becoming such a good communicator. He'll tell you he was born in Vietnam and has been on an airplane two times. I asked him if he remember flying on an airplane and he told me he remembered crying on the airplane. I asked why and he said because of the belt (safety belt)...it was ugly and we definitely remember it too. It was kind of amazing that it seemed to us most of his memories started once we got back to the states because we couldn't communicate to go back and visit past memories...just kind of eye opening. We baked a cake tonight. Of course, he licked every inch of the cake bowl with every inch of his face, hand and shirt. We had the music playing on the patio and he broke out in a dance. We joined and I am sure the neighbors were ready to call 911.

He can now sing snipits of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and Row, Row, Row your boat. He was signing London Bridges and Its Raining, its raining a couple of weeks ago. Still doesn't have all the words, but he can carry a tune so it is recognizable.

He has been fishing with his Granny Helen and Papa Tom and LOVES it. We went to KC to visit his Grammy and Aunts and Cousins. He had a ton of fun swimming with his Grammy.

He had his first surgery on Friday. I can say it was heart wrenching for us, but he came through with flying colors. He is one resilient little boy and is tough as a boot.
