Back when we started the adoption process in 1975 (or something like that), we were told to expect the child to be behind in their development compared to a similarly aged child from the US.
So when we finally picked up Kate last week, we were looking for any issues with how she responded to us (beyond the screaming/crying/etc we wrote about at the beginning of the blog), and how she interacted with other people. At 10 months old, we were mentally comparing her to how we remembered Jack's behavior at the same age.
Now that we've gotten to know her pretty well over the last two weeks, I think the short video below taken this morning in the hotel's kiddie center answered most of our questions.
Jack is going to really get a run for his money when Kate shows up on Wednesday.
Thanks for reading (and watching).

You guys are too funny! Love the photos of Edna and am totally impressed with the video of Kate. She looks like a real go getter and I agree that she is going to give Jack a run for his money. She seems to understand English too! Hope you can get Jack & Kate on some video footage when they first meet. That's going to be precious. Thanks for sharing so much. All of our thoughts and best wishes are with you. We think of you guys everyday!
ReplyDeleteGo Kate!!!! Hope you guys are all baby-proofed at home. If Jack is anything like Jackson he will be protecting his toys from his little sister at all times.
