Final Home Study Visit!

Today is our last home study visit!!! Eli has been home with us for 6 months, and we will now begin the process of finalizing his adoption :)
We have been savoring the last few days of freedom before it's back to work time. It's been a wonderful summer. Here comes MAJOR bragging:
Eli went from 0 to 6 teeth in 8 weeks and will probably be walking by the end of this week! He also grew 3 inches and has perfected "Mamma" at 5 a.m....smart kid! He's also mastered: High five's, "knucks" (think Barack & Michelle Obama), sign language for more & all done, drinking from a sippy cup, beginning to feed himself with a spoon, grunting when he sees Fernando, giving Fernando a cookie when he goes outside, blowing kisses (this one is hit or miss), "so big", touching his nose, ears and tummy when asked (although on nose, sometimes the finger goes up the nose!) and much, much more :)
Oh, and one other little thing....Eli is also getting ready for the arrival of his little brother in T minus 5 weeks :) :)

He looks so cute when he's walking too!! Amazing how much happens in so little time!! Seems like he's been here so much longer and actually I think he has, in our hearts.
