New Pictures!





Here is our latest update. What a big girl Maya is becoming. She is walking now and has 5 teeth accounted for. The social worker in her report describes Maya as "a cheerful, healthy, plump, active, attractive little toddler." I love it...my little chunky monkey will fit right into our family. Both my other kiddos were chunkers! And I just love to squeeze those cheeks. Her development seems to be on target and she's saying a few words including "Mae" which means Mommy in Thai. And get this, it says her "toilet training is in process." That is hilarious. Thai people will give their toddlers bottles for what seems like forever, but they'll be potty trained very early on. It's so amazing how differently cultures raise their children. By the way, the green and white dress is one we sent Maya that used to be Kora's. It's so familiar to us, yet it looks totally different on our black headed baby vs. our blonde headed baby. It's so fun to see her in the dress. We're glad to know she's getting all our packages.

Well, of course now that we've gotten this update, we're really anxious to get over there. Just four and a half weeks until we leave...it's gonna fly.(I hope)
