Our third home visit from our local social worker went well last week Wednesday. She is pleased with Eli's development. During her visit he was playing and answering some of her questions. At one point he went through a (fairly long) list of all his relatives - cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, great-grand parents and all of their eye colors. She was impressed! ;)
We, of course, always think he's amazing. It's nice to have someone else think he's pretty special too.
The report our social worker wrote up came in the mail yesterday and it's a glowing review of Eli's emotional, social, physical, and developmental progress. Hooray for his flying colors!! :)

April 8th = our 6 months home anniversary!!
Wow how time flies. So much has changed over the past 1/2 year for us.
What great progress our little boy is making. I'm so so proud of him!!
We recently took our first family road trip together. It was fun and quite a learning experience. He had a blast at the hotel, his aunt's house, farm, hiking, playground, museum, dining out, eating in. He didn't get great naps so was a little tired and cranky, but doing his best in all new surroundings.
Funny thing is we didn't realize until we were back home just how anxious or out of his element he must've been feeling. When we got home he was back to his usually running, jumping, laughing and happy self. He was so glad for his space and his things and his safe feeling home where he knows how things work, where things go, what his little jobs are, and what to expect.
When he walked in he said, "Why my house smell so good?!" Sure sign of glad to be back home. (I experience the same thing each time I'm away for a few days or more.) Then he was skipping from room to room taking it all in.
Glad that we finally were able to travel - even if it was for just three nights and less than 4 hrs away. Glad to know that home is definitely Eli's safe place. So glad for this delightful little man who keeps on teaching me what to treasure. :)
p.s. Sorry I've not been posting as much lately. Life is just busy. I do have lots of photos though and will add more soon.
