Our latest events

It's been a while since our last update. Everything has settled into a routine and I am not much of a blogger so I guess every now and then I will find the time to post. I love these extended holidays and being able to stay home whole day. Victor loves mornings like these when mama and papa let him crawl into our bed and start mornings kissing each other. He is such an affectionate boy - I can't believe that just 7 months ago he didn't know how to hug.

We celebrated Victors 3rd B-day this month. What a day that was - he got so many gifts, he didn't know what to do with himself. He kept unwrapping and opening everything when guests came over rather than waiting till later during the party. He had a blast and slept for over 12 hours the next day. These pictures tell it all:





We also went on our first family outing to a spa which was 2 hrs away from home. He loved the pool and jacuzzi and even spent a minute or two in a hot sauna. And here is the proof...



We went to our 1st Disney Ice show and I probably loved it as much as Victor and his cousins. It was loud, it was fun and very colorful and we plan on taking the kids again in April.

And we had our 1st dentist appointment this month. What an experience that was... he would not let the doctor open his month. The hygienist barely got in there to put some white stuff on his teeth and that was it. We do have to get some work done on his further back teeth and will most likely have to do it under anesthesia, so I am not looking forward to that...

Other than these events, things have been pretty calm. Victor is a very smart kid and picks up on things quickly. I am amazed at how much he has developed over the past 7 months and is fully up to speed where he should be, except that he hasn't learned any English and that is because we are not teaching him yet. We want to make sure he has full grasp of Russian first and then transition on to English. He still has 2 years until he starts pre-K so we have plenty of time.

We also had our 1st family pictures and here are some of our cutie to end my update...
