Yes I am two days late. My dear Moscow friend reminded me of Bryant and Maks ( her son and Bryant's orphanage brother's) 7 month anniversary. Wow I am getting slack. I almot forgot.
Been a little busy lately and we just returned from a family reunion/meet Bryant party with Jeff's incredible family. We had an awesome time. I am so very lucky to have such wonderful extended family. I am so thankful for them. I just wish we lived closer to see them more often. Bryant got to see his great-grandmother Gigi, his Nonnie and Pop, Aunts, Uncles and tons of cousins. Jeff's sister was so gracious to host this big crowd at her home. Complete crazy chaos with lots of love. That's how I describe it. The kids had an awesome time playing and stayed up until 11pm. They were so excited to see their cousins. Best of all, Bryant got to meet his cousins Natalie and John who were adopted from Russia 13 years ago and played a significant role in our decision to adopt. It warmed my heart to see Natalie holding Bryant. Two amazing children given up but found by people who love them to pieces. Hopefully they will share a special bond.
Bryant has continued eating better and we are super thankful. Not significant weight gain but baby steps in the positive direction. He continues to get in to everything and has started having melt downs in which he puts his hand on his forehead, sighs and drops to the floor. We then call him a drama king and he gets mad. He walks around putting headbands and bows on and brushing his hair. Jeff hates it but I know he is just modeling the girls behavior. It is funny though. He has started putting words together. His latest is "Mon Mimi" (Come on Amelia) funny thing he says it with a southern accent. Ha Ha.
Having a great summer and loving my son even more every day.
Bryant and Cousin Natalie
Brings a smile to my face. I even think they look alike
