Easter,beach and fun firsts

Vahnya's firsts.

First Easter Egg hunt, we had a little Easter Egg hunt in the back yard for my daycare kids. Vahnya didn't know what to do at first and thought the eggs were balls and threw them across the yard. lol Makenzy helped him find eggs and showed him that they had candy in them.





First trip to the Beach, Vahnya loved the sand and started digging and sifting it thru his hands as soon as he touched it. He loved running in the sand with no shoes or socks on.









First time to chase Daddy  and big brothers RC cars.



He loved the swing and wanted to be pushed high! he.








First time swimming, oh boy he could have stayed in the pool all day,he had so much fun.



First time at pig and pancakes, he fell asleep on the table until the food came.



First time on a carousel,he didn't like this at all and when it started moving he held onto Amanda for dear life lol.


Walking back to our hotel.





 First Easter, when we got home we found the Easter bunny had visited us and we had 7 full baskets of candy on the table.First thing Vahnya did was threw the bunny on the ground and 2nd was dump his basket of candy all on to the floor.

SIGN BABY SIGN

ok so here are my attempts to show off my boy so you can all see how smart he is lol

The first one is the best although he is tired you can see it in his eyes its naptime.



This 2nd one he did more so well but got upset because I didn't give him his balloon back and didn't want to do any more.


This last one he does great but we cant see him do eat or all done because he's doing it off to the side and he wasn't going to do more because he already had a big waffle in his hands lol mean mommy took it away and tried to get him to say it ha-ha that didn't work mean mommy lol.


when you put all three videos together you can see how well he is doing he has learned them so fast

Saturday

Daddy just took off with the three youngest Jordan, Amelia and Vahnya he asks me this morning is it ok if I go and show Vahnya off to my friends at the hobby shop and pet shop? lol like I need to give him permission lol that was funny. So Mike and the 3 went to the hobby shop and the pet shop making a pit stop (haha ya right probably a long pit stop) at TOYS R US so Jordan can spend his birthday money(his 10th birthday was yesterday) oh and to Costco to pick up a few things.So the older four Josh,Amanda.Madison,Makenzy and I are home. We need to be cleaning because our post placement visit is on Monday I would rather her not see the house like this.But so far nothing has gotten done! as you can tell since I'm sitting here on my computer lol.


oh the only reason we are able to do anything today is because all the baseball/softball games were rained out. Other wise our day would be spent at the field like last Saturday.I have pictures of last Sat I will add later they are still on Mike's camera.

Vahnya is doing better still wakes up with the barking cough but it goes away pretty fast and he is sleeping thru the night just fine.

He has learned so much the last few days he now signs more,eat,all done,drink, he says hi and bye bye puts his arms up and says yeah, he gives high 5 and knuckles.and he blows kisses.He is learning so fast it is fun. I plan to set up the meeting for the evaluation with the early intervention team in the next couple weeks but I want to make sure they have someone there that speaks Russian to come with them I know that he is much smarter then we can see its just we don't understand him yet and he doesn't fully understand everything we say.


he has also gained weight not sure how much but he is getting heavy lol he is a strong little guy for sure a little football player.
