As promised--I'm trying to add to our special adoption blog at least once a month. Of course, there's always the more frequent updates on our usual blog, but I think it's nice to have a dedicated adoption post every now and then! At this point, we're not actively pursuing adoption--we're just trying to enjoy little Cadence--but when we do pick back up with adoption, I don't want the blog to be cold!
So first, a little bit about life with baby! We love it--although it's a big change! Cadence is growing so, so fast! Here are some photos of her growing like crazy:

Beginning of Week 5 (now):
My my my! She is so much bigger and so alert! She's trying really hard to smile at us and we love it! She's really been everything we could hope for. We feel so blessed to have her and can't believe how fast the month has flown by. Moreover, we feel so blessed to have K (Cadence's birth mom) in our lives. We love hearing from her and sending her pictures, letters, and little packages. She has become such an important part of our family.
Other than adoption, we've had a lot of other crazy things going on. It's been very, very busy! Brandon has started his new job and we're working on building our house--all with our new addition in tow! And, of course, we still have our sweet and lovable pups, which are taking very well to their new little sister. They especially love her pacifiers (eek!).
