Avi screamed everytime she got anywhere near water. Our last few days in Bogota we had to come to some type of agreement. I would love to have been a fly on the wall at the foster mother's house the weeks before we got her.

It'll get better! He'll turn into a fish here pretty soon!

Don't give up on the books. None of ours were interested until we had them about 9 months. I think once they understood some of the words it was much more interesting.

Deanna - I'm sure he'll love it! Actually, shortly after we posted this, he had a great time with another book we brought him. I guess we just tried the wrong book before.

I love this post! It is awesome to see how new parents are so attentive to their children! You have a blessed family! I pray that the excitement you have now will not fade, but that you are his biggest cheerleader, and your love continue to grow forevermore!
