This past week was a very busy week for our little guy and I am hoping this week is a little quieter. As you already know we had our International Adoption Clinic visit which went very well (as did the Burger King stop afterwards!). We also made our first ever big grocery store expedition. Papa went along for this one. We have run in to the store before but this was one of those the cuboards are bare, need to shop desparately moments and it took a little over an hour. Daniel was so good. He sat in the cart and his Papa pushed him all over the place while Mama threw things into the cart. We were so pleased with how he did.
We also found out that our boy will eat almost anything. And I do mean anything!! He was fussing at me in the kitchen the other night while I was making salad for Troy and I so I gave him a piece of the dill pickle I was cutting thinking he would take one bite and spit it back out. Troy and I stood there waiting for the funny face we expected and instead we got a hand stuck out for more. He loves dill pickles!! He definitely gets that from me!!
One of the most endearing moments of the week was when I was rocking him to sleep for his nap. He had his head on my shoulder and all the sudden he leaned up to look at me and patted my face softly and said "Mama" and then gave me the best ever lip kiss. All this out of the blue with no asking and I just about cried in the chair. It was truly the most sweetest thing!!
We had a nice Mother's Day as Troy got up and made breakfast for all of us. Then we headed to my sister-in-law, Amber's house and had a play date with Daniel's cousin, Parker. They had so much fun and also a lesson in sharing. We think they did pretty well. Amber took some great pictures, which I'll pass on once I get them!! We even have an adorable one of Daniel sitting in his Uncle Stephen's lap and Parker sitting in his Uncle Troy's lap helping them play Wii together!!
Here are two of our funnier moments this week!
Can we say I'm cute?!?!
Can we say future plumber?!?!

Rachel- How absolutely sweet that he said "Mama" and gave you a kiss without prompting! Oh I would have been hard pressed not to cry too. I love to read your updates!
He is still as cute as the first picture on your blog :D
I am so happy for you. What a wonderful Mother's Day you must have had!
Loved the plumber pic!
The plumber comment and that picture almost made me drive off the road (even though I was sitting in traffic). TOO CUTE! :-) And of course the mama story was just the absolute best. You are doing such an awesome job, my dear!
How precious is your Mama story? I love it. Sounds like you guys are doing so well.
That is so sweet that he said "Mama" to you and gave you a kiss! I think I would have cried, too! I'm so glad your IA appt. went well and that he is eating well and seems to be so happy! That is wonderful! :)
Hey Rachel -- sounds like a very tender moment -- don't you just love those times! There have been so many moments over the last week that I have wished I had a camera/video for! I hope your weeks continue to go well.
What a special moment you 2 shared (one of many many more to come). Loved the "future plumber" comment and photo.
Glad your Mother's Day went well. It sounds wonderful. Way to go Troy on fixing breakfast.
Loved the plumber picture. Too cute.
I forgot to mention how sweet the hand on your cheek saying Mama was. I know it melted your heart!!
