We are in the midst of our 8th month! The last few months have flown by. Alex speaks English without any major issues. I occasionally need my interpretors (Madison and Nathan) to decipher what he has said, but he is communicating like any other 5 year old. He's got the "Oh Man!", "Rats!", "Cool!", and whining down to a T.
His interests are Hot Wheels, baseball, and Transformers. His favorite food is McDonald's cheeseburgers with ketchup only. He has grown 1 in. and gained 5 lbs. Not as much as growth as I expected. He asks "Why?" to just about everything I say.
Mom "It's going to be cold today so wear long pants"
Alex "Why?"
Mom "So you'll be warm"
Alex "Why is it going to be cold today?"
Mom "I don't know, that's what the weatherman said"
Alex "Is it going to be cold tomorrow?"
Mom "No, tomorrow will be warmer"
Alex "Why?"
Mom "Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!"
He likes blue and yellow. He loves our cat and is very kind and loving toward him. He plays well with his siblings but does like to tattle. I believe he is very happy. He doesn't like to talk much about Taiwan and doesn't seem to remember very much. I hope that will change with time.
He will take swim lessons this summer and begin kindergarten this fall. We homeschool, so he will join big brother and sister at the dining room table. God willing, he will become a big brother this October as I am expecting another baby! I hope he will transition well as another little person joins our family.
