While meeting other mommies and daddies they decided to start helping advocate for children that still don't have families of their own! You will see some children listed on her that are in need of their own mom or dad.
The first little one that we will be listing is Monet. Beautiful Monet is currently diagnosed with Profound Bilateral Neurosensory Hypoacusis, and has had meningitis and encephalomalacia, contributing to her partial deafness (which would be beneficial to cochlear implants) and form of epilepsy (last one noted when she was 3 months old, controlled by medication). Full medical and social history available. Please let me know if you would like more information on her and I can get it to you. Here is some info about adopting from Monet's region...
Please let me know if you would like any more information on Monet!
Mommy and daddy have decided that I am ready for a brother or sister. They keep asking if I want a baby and I tell them "no." They have to start working on getting a bunch of paperwork together that they have been calling a "dossier." I will just plan on going along for the ride and play nice with the baby! I think they just want to get out of the Minnesota weather and visit Cali again. We have seen some beautiful little ones but we need to make sure that I stay the oldest child in the family and that there is about a year gap in between the new baby.
We have met many adoptive mommies and daddies and have got to talk a lot about our story. In November we celebrated being together as a family for 1 year. It is amazing how much has happened during that time. We will talk a little about what has happened since our last post...
Bike ride this past fall!
In the fall I transitioned to the toddler room and I love it! I get to go outside twice a day, do art projects, play with my friends, learn new songs and get loved on by all of my teachers.

In November we celebrated one year as a family and we hung out for the day at the Mall of America and made a Build A Bear monkey, we named her Cali (of course)...
...and the monkey gets blamed when my room is a mess!
Of course, December was busy with mommy's 30th birthday, my school Christmas program and Christmas. We even got to go to the Hollidazzle because the weather was pretty nice. Mom and dad decided I should move into a toddler bed since I was becoming quite the monkey.
My cousin R and I!

January I turned 2! I had a birthday party with lots of cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents there! I also had my tonsils and adenoids removed and a new set of ear tubes put in. I got to spend two nights in Children's Hospital.

Using the treadmill at therapy to learn to walk! Didn't take long.
Most recently we have been spending time spring cleaning the house, going to the zoo and walking everywhere! I love to dance and to do actions to many songs. I have quite the vocabulary and sign language that I love to show off. Mostly I like to "Shake a tail feather" and "Single Ladies." I am quite funny and LOVE to be the center of attention to everyone.
