Baby update

We are missing Joséctio since he went home, the orphanage is not the same without him. It was so much fun how much he was starting to talk and walk. But being home is what´s best for him.

Alejandra is learning to talk a little. She can say mama and papa and si and no. She is so much fun to play with and she laughs a lot.

Levi is starting to learn how to crawl and he can sit up all by himself now. He looks different with all his top teeth in. His mom came today and told us that she wants to keep him here until he is 18 years old. She says he has been raised here his whole life and he will have a better life here, where we will be able to take good care of
him and provide him with an education.

José is still as wild as ever. He is also going through this phase where he likes to take off his shoes and socks and walk around barefoot. Every chance he gets he takes them off. Also he has turned into an eating machine. As soon as he wakes up the first
thing he asks for is food. Whenever someone has food, even if José isn´t around, as soon as they open the package José magically appears asking for some. He is always eating.

Brandon is still doing great and still loves his music and singing. He is getting along well with the other kids and he loves having his sister here.

We took them all to the swimming pool the other day. It was a blast. José and Brandon had a ton of fun on the slides and swimming around. I took Alejandra into the water and she hated it. She cried and cried until I took her out. She spent most of the day playing in the shade. Levi loved the water. I swam around with him for hours and he never got tired of it. It was a lot of fun.
