Well it is hard to believe but a year ago today we were deemed legal guardians of Bedilu Tekele by the Ethiopian courts! We remember how we could hardly sleep because Ethiopia is 10 hours ahead of us here in the States, so the court hearing would be taking place while we slept! We anxiously were checking our email for the note that everything had gone smoothly. And sure enough we were legally his parents! So very delighted and relieved we were! Oh, it is been a busy but fun year! We love you Trek!!!
Also, today we went to the pediatrician for Trek's 18 month check-up, even though he is only 17 months right now!! Every thing looked good! He is 27 lbs. (70%) and 32 inches tall (55%)! He is growing well with no complications. He was not very fond of the nurse or doctor coming too close to him (he screamed loudly). This made it difficult for the ped to listen with her stethoscope, but she seemed happy with what she could hear! It is amazing how much these little ones can remember about certain settings. I think he vividly remembers that this place is where he gets shots! And yes he got three today, screaming and holding onto me really tight. But the nurse whipped out some bubbles at the end, and all sobs were done! Now he is sleeping soundly!!! Whew, it sure is hard being a 17 month old! Did I say that I love this little man to pieces?!
