Elias' 7 months - update - pics
Hi all,
We're home almost for 4 months now and Elias is doing just great. He just cut the 2 bottom theets - we had some crying days - is sitting up, rolling around everywere, touching all he can, eating over 1 lbs solid food a day (he must be around 25 lbs now...) - still sleeping 12 hours a night, getting a nice little caracter - he has a great humour already - and he's not the calm baby anymore LOL - learning from his big brother already  We are all in love with him and he's really a sweetie!! Even if the adoption process was tough (Hague Mess), I'd start again tomorrow if I could, it's so much worthed!! I say this for all the waiters and I'm so glad that last year's problems are over for now - even if you have some delays with your Embassy. All the best to all you at any stage in process and the ones at home too  I really love this board! Here some pictures:

I loved the pictures!!
My Friend,
What a handsome family you have! I can't believe how big Elias has gotten. He has the same tooth that Jake has. I think he is bigger than Jake too and I thought he was big. I will write as soon as I have more time but wanted to tell you how beautiful the pictures and the update was!
