Wonderful Wednesdays

Like you already know, Wednesdays are our days to visit Wei-J and his mommy. I recently looked at the "about me" section I created when I began this blog. I had said, "It won't be very long before he is greeting us at the door." I never imagined the depth of that statement; what it would really mean to me.

He is amazing beyond anything I could have imagined. Every week I am stunned by his growth - physically-cognitively-emotionally-socially. In every way that a child can blossom, Wei-J is.

To get specific:
Baby Signs:
A few weeks ago I showed him the sign for apple. He remembers it! When he heard me say apple, he put his hand up to his cheek, and waited for me to acknowledge it.

Charming Sweet Uncle K:
This Wednesday Uncle K joined in our family festivities. Wei-J put the charm on... he sat on K's lap and helped "label" his aquarium photos. "Fssss" (Fish) "Da" (Duck) They looked so cute sitting there.

To top it all: When I was leaving, I bent down and asked him if I could have a hug. He gave me the sweetest hug I have ever received! Then ShuShu said, "What about a kiss?" Ever so softly, he leaned in with a kiss. - I couldn't help but tear up a little. This precious little man has grown so much in such a short ammount of time. And to think, he's only growing into the person he was created to be.

For a certain SIL:

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Psalms 139: 13 - 16

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

I missed this part of wonderful Wednesday... the PJs are too adorable. In case your wondering, his finger is searching for his, "Beebo" - a hippopotamus way of saying "belly button."

I found it! My "Beebo"
