Baby update

This an update from Mandy of the babies at the orphanage.

Josécito has learned some more words and the other day we taught him how to wave. Now when someone leaves the room we tell him goodbye and he waves to us. Also this week Aury and I were walking with him and he took his first steps by himself. It was pretty exciting. He will be walking soon.

Alejandra is starting to talk a little as well, she can say mama and papa. Lately she has started to scrunch her nose when she smiles and it is the most adorable thing ever. She has the cutest laugh.

Levi is pretty content. I am trying to teach him to sit up on his own. I have been noticing that whenever we play with him and stand him up it is hard to get him to bend his legs to sit down. He keeps them straight.

José loves trouble. But he is so affectionate and loves to give hugs. I taught him how to give butterfly kisses the other day and he loves it. Yesterday I put the radio on in the kitchen while I was cleaning and when José heard it he came running in and we danced around the kitchen. It was really cute.

Brandon is doing great, he is always happy and cheerful. We have a lot of fun with him. He loves it when we put on his music, Vicente Fernandez. He says it reminds him of his dad. He is always asking us to play it for him. The teacher took him swimming the other day and he had a blast.

There haven´t been any updates on the adoption laws. It is really too bad, because I know that there are good families that want to adopt the kids we have who will never go home.
