On May 15th, we celebrated 8 months of Elijah being a D****. It is hard to believe he hasn't always been here. Physically and cognitively, he's on track for his age. In the speech department, I'm pretty sure he is a little delayed. This causes much frustration on his, as well as our part. He cries and whines a lot. This will eventually escalate into a tantrum, which will earn him a trip to the bathroom until he quits. He usually doesn't have to stay in the bathroom very long, before he calms down. I feel certain that once his language catches up,and he navigates through the terrible two's, this will lesson.
Look at the growth in 8 short months:
8 months ago:
The biggest difference this month is the closeness of Abbey and Elijah. They actually play together and want to be together. He copies everything she does. She loves telling him what to do. She talks about how she loves him and is glad he is her brother.
Lovingly protecting him
Playmates
It really warms our hearts to see them together!
Happy 8 months with your forever family sweet one! Ms Kristi loves you!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how our kids have grown in the last 8 months? My 8-month 'Gotcha Day' anniversary was May 21. Caroline has grown approximately 4 inches since coming home from Guangzhou. Elijah (and Abbey) are beautiful!
