We are so excited to introduce you to Sam-I-Am, Green Eggs & Ham..."Sammy" for short.
He's as sweet as can be and a ball of energy!! He's between 3 and 4 months old and is a rescue. We're so lucky he found his way to our family :)

Holy Cow~~10 Months!!
How is it possible that we are closing in on our first year together?!! Unbelievable! This last month has been amazing and the next is already full of exciting next steps. Time is flying too quickly. I'd give anything to slow down time, even for just a little while.
1. Ella, you are fearless especially at the park. You are climbing ladders and slides and jumping from one obstacle to the other. You keep me on my toes all the time. I'm certain you will provide us our first ER visit for some kind of broken bone.
2. You are full of spunk and vigor! And most of the time I mean that in the most positive way ;) You like to shout "no" when I ask you to do something but always with that sweet smile of yours that shows you're joking. It depends on what Mama's mood is on what my reaction is :). This attitude is also why you are fearless and don't let anything stop you. I'm saying it again; the world better watch for Ella!!
3. You love to eat...seriously you'd never stop if we let you. It's a good thing you run around like a crazy toddler too in order run all those calories off. You're favorites are of course candy, ice cream, and fruit snacks. You also love hot dogs, turkey, applesauce, yogurt, berries, veggie chips, and popcorn.
4. Ella, you also love TV and would watch all day if we let you. Food and TV :) Your new favorite TV is "Super Why". It's a great PBS show that works on spelling and reading. You still love Daniel Tiger and Mickey Mouse though as well.
5. You had your second trip to the dentist for cleaning. Once again you got an awesome report! They can't believe how you love brushing your teeth but it is paying off because no cavities and no real concerns. This is remarkable given your cleft. Once again you're showing off. You weren't found of the dentist and hygienist cleaning your teeth but you did open wide and then played with the dental tools with Ava afterwards. All in all I say that's a great visit!
6. You have been dry for weeks during the day and rarely are wake up wet in the morning. We're so proud of you. Not yet 3 and completely out of diapers!!
7. You are starting to move up to the Preschool Class at daycare. I love this and hate it all at the same time. You are growing up too fast! But I guess if you have to grow up you're right on track. You've started spending several days in the "big girl class" and you officially move the beginning of May. Have I said how proud we are of you!
8. You love your sister!! Nothing has changed there since very early on. Truly a "monkey see, monkey do" scenario. You laugh when she laughs, you follow her and try to do everything she does. I love watching you and her together. One of my biggest joys in life!
9. We love our family walks and trips to the park in the evening. You and your sister have a new routine when we're out walking through the neighborhood. It looks a little like this; Ava is riding her bike and you are riding in the wagon pointing out all the shapes on the houses. Until we come up on a man hole cover. You spot them a ways away and get very excited. You start jumping out of the wagon before we even reach it. And then, it becomes you and Ava's stage. You make up songs or sing Hot Dog from Mickey Mouse all while doing the dance motions. Once a song is done you climb back in and we start all over again. What we do for entertainment!
10. Your US finalization court day is set for May 4th...also your birthday!! This is the last final step in your adoption and it's a big step! So thankful we were picked to be your parents. We love you more than words!
