12 Weeks for the Steele 3!

The time sure has gone by quickly! Our return trip from Korea seems like a lifetime ago. We are so comfortable and happy, together as a family. Ty continues to fill our home with laughter and amazement as we watch him learn something new everyday! He just learned how to say "car" and smiled on command, saying his version of "cheese" for the camera. His personality has really blossomed in recent weeks, especially with the warmer weather. He can't get enough of the outdoors or playing with the BALL. (It's his current favorite word.)

He was a big hit when we traveled down to my former VNA office in E. Hartford last week, and got another great report from the MD at his check-up the same week. He got another 2 vaccines and handled them like a big boy! He's gained another 1/2 lb. and has grown almost 1" since his previous appt.

We took our 1st family adventure to NYC on Easter weekend. Ty did great and especially enjoyed running around Central Park, greeting people and trying to get into their backpacks! He was so friendly with everyone. He (and we) were exhausted by the end of the day. It was very helpful to have 4 adults looking after our little guy. We were there with Grammie Cheryl and Auntie Shane.

We are looking forward to another home visit from our social worker sometime in April, which means we will be one step closer to our "Finalization" in May, when we officially become Ty's legal parents!
