Random Updates

Well we had our final home check for the adoption application process yesterday. Hours of anxious scrubbing for someone to walk around our house for ten minutes and check it out. It was the last step toward getting approved. Red Fish was a total maniac the whole time the case worker was here. She was hilarious. She just kept shaking her whole body and head and screaming and running. She's become quite the wild thing lately. Now it's just matter of waiting and hoping for a birth parent to pick us. So keep your fingers crossed for us.
Baby updates- well Red Fish isn't much of a baby anymore. She is more like a tiny person with her own opinions and personality. She is up to eight teeth now and has more on the way. (This has made for a lot of sleepless nights around here.) It has also made feeding options a lot easier. She can pretty much eat anything now and she fully enjoys it. She enjoys rubbing the food into her hair, throwing it on the floor, and trying to feed me soggy pieces of pre-moistened food. It's crazy to see how big she is getting.

The pacifier died out a couple months ago. Ever since we trimmed it that one time she wasn't as interested in it and then all the sudden she didn't want it at all. I'm happy that wasn't a battle. We have cut back on the bottles and Red Fish hasn't seemed to care much. We just switched from formula to milk and she likes to drink it out of a cup anyway. Now we've got to try and let her use more silverware and get used to it.

Yesterday was Two Fish's 29th birthday. We had our home check so we just had a simple dinner with his mom and cake.

Other than that we've been feeling a bit of the Christmas crunch so we are just trying to get things done.
