Today JD is 15 months old. He took a leisurely bath and plans to take his mama for a walk so he can buy her a coffee ... actually, I think I saw the little devil slip the caribou gift card from Liz in his pocket (thanks Liz!).

i have a 15 month old!
We've had a breakthrough with JD! He's been with us for one month. The first 4 weeks were very hard for him (and equally hard for me & David). But in the last few days we've noticed a difference in his level of comfort with his new surroundings, new mama/papa ... with his new life. No longer does he break out crying when we simply look at him. Our intl adoption pediatrician told us it was part of his grieving and not to take it personally ... but how could I not?! Now, instead, we get smiles :) :) :) :) Yay!!
