My son, the natural ham...


He loves to be in pictures! The camera comes out and he just throws the smiles and laughs out there! Here he is in the little blow-up whale pool in our backyard...it was taken with a cell phone camera, so the quality isnt the best. I also have a video of him repeatedly dipping his head & face in the water, but I have to figure out how to do put cool videos on my posts like Elle.

I hope to post some new photos of him on our family photo album...check there soon. See above for the link.

Let's see, what else is new...well, my adoption blogger friends have had exciting things happening in their lives. I have not had the time to read lately, but I did today and your posts were heartwarming.

And...Roman is on the verge of walking by himself...he will walk from one person to another for about 10 steps. But, he is not ready to do it on his own yet...he still likes having ahold of the one finger of someone. he is almost there though...then it is all over. I will officially be the Mommy to a toddler :)

We have 10 family members on my husband's side coming into town for the 4th of July week...for vacations, but mostly to meet Roman. It is going to be so much fun...they are staying with Andrew's parents, sister and a few with us. We can't wait to see everyone!!

okay...Roman is in bed, so I am going to take advantage of the quiet and get some reading done.

Happy 4th of July to everyone!! ~ gaye

He's a doll! It's great that he smiles for he camera! Mine hasn't grasped that concept yet. He stops smiling when I take it out. I guess he figures 780 pictures in 4 months is enough!
