End in sight . . .

Talked with our attorney yesterday and we got a court date ! YAYYYY!!!! We have been waiting for this news for several months now. May 13th is the date. Not too far away! :)

March 18th, 2011 . . .

I was wrapping a present for Nick's 5th birthday and you decided to army crawl your way to get the wrapping paper! I couldn't keep you away from it . . . March 30th, 2011- You are getting up on hands and knees and trying so hard to crawl that way. You are loving the fact that you can army crawl your way around to get things!!! Mobile baby = busy mama!

"baby brother"

I know I have been posting several times a week for the past few weeks, but I have been keeping this blog as more of a journal now so that some day we can look back and Noah can look back and see how much he is loved and the process we went through to adopt him. We feel like it is extremely important as he gets older to be able to tell him as much as possible about his birth, childhood, biological parents etc.

Anyways, I had to write this in here, because it is just a reminder of how much you are loved and it just made me smile when I saw it :).
I went to my Tuesday morning MOPS meeting as usual and after it was over, I walked in your room to pick you up and I had Nick and Camille with me as well. They ran into the little swing door and one of the ladies was holding you on her lap. They immediately went over to you and began hugging on you and talking to you in their little baby talk as if they hadn't seen you in several days.
It definitely made me smile and so thankful for you in our lives! We love you!

A court date soon???

So, we feel like we are so close to having everything finalized, but yet so far away!
We spoke with our attorney's office yesterday and now that the birthfather add has run and the 30 day wait is over, we can now apply for a final court date. We also have to have your Guardian Ad Litem over for a short interview on your behalf. I am thrilled that we are F.I.N.A.L.L.Y. at this step and we are keeping our fingers crossed to hopefully get a court date in April.

You have definitely just fit right into our family since the beginning, but to have all the legal work and to officially have your last name YACOVIELLO will be a great thing!!!!

Rolling Over . . .

So, you have had the rolling over from your tummy to your back down pat for a while now! In fact, you are such a pro at it that you even do it during the night and decide to wake us up about it!!!
Our next goal was for you to roll from your back to your tummy, so we began to work on that! Saturday (March 5th) you decided, while mommy was out of the room, that you would roll over for the first time from your back to your tummy! Daddy clapped and I ran into the room and you did several more times! Yay!!!!
You are growing so fast!
