6 months with us and Teeth

We pick the little ones up six months ago. The first two pictures are of now and then. The siblings have all grown to have your typical brother/sister, love/hate relationships. It finally feels that we have a balance and a new normal has set in around our home. They are both doing great with school, language, friends, and family. Their attachments are growing stronger every day. Kai still prefers mommy and Naveia still has her moments when she plays the reject mommy and see if she will stick around game. We just keep loving them and standing firm. This is our forever family through the good and the bad. September is the month of the tooth around here. First Zane finally lost his 1st tooth and then 2nd tooth two days later. The next week Naveia lost her 1st tooth. Then finally this week Kai had his dental surgery. He had nine stainless steel crowns put in. He is not a happy at all with what the doctors put in his mouth. It is hard to explain to him that they are making it better when it does not feel better.

I wonder if the Tooth Fairy gets paid overtime on a busy month like this??
They have all grown even in the past 6 months! I remember seeing your blog with that first picture of those precious faces.

John and Mandy! I found your blog and have been enjoying reading it! Our family has 2 bio children and we are just beginning our journey adopting through Taiwan as well! It has brought me so much encouragement!
