So, Hunter is back to work. I have a couple of more weeks before I go back. The time is flying. He's just two weeks old, but he is definitely the boss of this house!

On our way to becoming a forever family
We went to Children's Home Society of Virginia on Tuesday, April 12 to sign the official adoption agreement. This means that Baby Richard's status is no longer foster child. But, that we have agreed as his adoptive parents to take him into our home and be supervised for the next six months by the adoption agency. At the end of the six month period, the agency will make a recommendation to the courts for us to become his legal family.
We successfully had lunch out at a restaurant afterwards. Little Bubby slept through the whole thing. We never imagined that we would be able to go out to eat with a newborn. Then we stopped by Target to get a few things. Needless to say he was a tired boy by the end of the day.
In the meantime, he had his 2 week check up on Wednesday. He had gained a half pound bringing his weight to 9lbs 8oz. He is so strong. He already pulls upwards when I hold his little hands. And he has started pushing up with his feet and almost turned over at the doctor's office.

I just the love the picture of all of you together. Little Richard has the cutest smile on his face. He is obviously so happy to be chosen by such wonderful people. I know you must be joyous,
ReplyDeleteHe does have the cutest smile. We took several shots at the agency on Tuesday. But this was the very first one and it is perfect (as is Richard!).
ReplyDeleteYou guys look so great together. And eating out with a newborn is pretty easy.... wait until he's on the move! LOL
ReplyDeleteAw! This post warms my heart!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Barely Sane: visit restaurants now while your baby still snoozes in the infant carrier, because once he's over a year, he won't be able to make it through an entire meal if you go out! Oy, the yelling, and the crying, and the throwing of pudding . . .
