What's Up With The Babies

We hit our one year foster anniversary last month.  One whole year!  That also means we've had Mr. BlueEyes for a whole year since he came the same minute we opened.

He has changed so much in a year.  It's an age where they grow and learn a ton and let me tell you...he has grown and learned.  When he came he said one word.  He couldn't run very steadily.  He wouldn't sit in our laps or put his head on our shoulders.  He couldn't wave bye-bye and he didn't know any songs.  

Now he is a crazy 2 year old that almost reads.  Or at least he knows all his letters and numbers and colors and amazes his day care teachers.  He's pretty impressive.  

Precious has been with us almost a year as well.  He came to us at 2 days old and his birthday is next month.  Except for the 6 weeks he went back to his mom, he's been with us.  And even during the 6 weeks, we had him for a few of the weekends.  I am still so happy he is back. 

He's a super fast crawler and is taking a few steps at a time.  He is fairly even tempered.  Except when he's not.  And he's not too great at nighttime sleeping.  His blue eyes are simply gorgeous and his big smile with his 8 teeth is ADORABLE.   I'm so in love with him.  

But one way or another things will be settled for them both soon.  BlueEyes' mom is quickly running out of time and by the summer if things don't change he will be adoptable.   There is some family who are interested....yet not interested enough to pursue placement for the whole year he's been in foster care.  So probably not I'm thinking.  

There is a man in CO who claims to be Precious' dad.  We won't know until DNA testing is done.  It's a slim chance that his mom will get him back at this point but if this guy is really his dad then that opens up a whole new family possibility.  Time will tell.  

So we have no idea what the summer will bring but until then we are enjoying their sweetness.
