A Week Full of Firsts

It's been a little over a week since we've been home from China. Well, not really if you count being gone to MN. Silas has been home for good since Sunday night. He is doing really well. We are adjusting, he is adjusting and I know it will take some time. For the most part though, it is going really well. He is sleeping fairly well, eating great, and enjoys playing with the girls. He also is having tantrums, crying and well - trying to learn to play nicely! The good definitely outweighs the bad! Enjoy pictures for all of Silas' firsts!
Remember this? My very first bath in China

Look at me now! This is kinda fun!

The 3 amigo's in the tub

Having fun in the sprinkler
Silas getting brave - he loved it after he figured out what to do!
Look at me mom - I'm touching the water!

Another first - his first party! Our friend Suzanna turned 4 and had a little get together with water balloons and Popsicles. Madelyn accidentally hit Silas in the face with a water balloon, after the initial shock wore off he thought it was the funniest thing.

Caroline & Silas checking out the party
I just LOVE this picture of him!

Another first! Swimming at the Y. Our little boy who was scared to death of water is 2 weeks ago is becoming a little fish. He loved playing in the water and splashing around.

Wow, it hasn't taken long for him to get used to things! I'm glad everything is going well. He looks like he's having so much fun, as do the girls.

Such fun! I left a comment on Silas's site, but I thought I'd put one here too. I will plan to call tonight or tomorrow if that's ok? I'm DYING to talk to you guys, but I've been afraid to call while you were still getting adjusted!!

Love,
Brooke
