Just Showing Off...

Just wanted to show off some recent pictures of my little man. He is the most amazing kid ever! We have been home with him 4.5 months and the time has flown. He is getting bigger, smarter, sweeter, and funnier by the day. I can't even put into words how much he means to me- it's indescribable. DH and I are completely grateful EVERY DAY for just how lucky we are to have him in our lives.

We just got back from our first vacation and he did great. I noticed a slight change in him, like whining everytime we told him no (he hardly does this). It was a family vacation so there were a lot of people there spoiling him so he probably got used to getting what he wanted. Luckily he stopped that behavior as soon as we got back home. He had so much fun playing at the beach, swimming in the pool and playing with his cousins. He got so much love in that week- it is amazing. He has touched the lives of everyone in our family in a way that is unbelievable- I have actually seen personality changes (for the better!) in some family members since they met him. I swear he has some special power over people- everyone just falls head over heels in love with him. I have heard from multiple family members that he is the best thing that ever happened to this family (and we were a pretty good family to start with!). Anyways, here are some recent pics of our little guy- enjoy!!

These pictures were posted by someone on the Poland forum. This is really strange.

Jasiu- I just looked on the Poland Forums and did not see anything posted today. If you are sure you saw these pics posted elsewhere, please post the link so I can get to it. If someone is posting pics of my son I sure want to know about it.

Did not mean to worry you. I just tried to open the forum and your thread with my Safari browser and the thread features photographs of your beautiful son. When I open the same thread with Firefox, I still see "wrong photographs." (from yusen's thread on Poland forum). I am not sure why. There was a glitch in the system yesterday and my problem could have something to do with that. In any case, your son is wonderful. Thank you for posting the photographs.

Yusen,

There are a number of 'hiccups' with the glitch yesterday - the pictures you are seeing aren't there for everyone...please clear your cookies/cache and sign out and back in the forums and that should resolve the issues.

In the future, the best way to reach a moderator is by Pm...we don't read every thread.
