Some firsts for Solomon

We have been home for almost 3 weeks and Solomon has been transitioning so well! I am loving my days at home and feeling more comfortable to go out and about which has been so great!
Here are some firsts for our son:
1. Meeting many new faces but this one sticks out in my mind. Meeting his cousin that is only a few months older than him! It took a bit of time but I think they were warming up to each other by the end :)

2. Many people have asked about the cold weather and to be honest we have only gone outside to play 3 times, mainly because I don't want to go outside either! He loves to sit in the snow and put his hand in it just like he would with the sand except he has like 3 more layers on so its a bit trickier! He got a bit confused the first time we asked him to go outside as he wasn't sure why we were putting so many layers on him but he sure didn't get cold. 

Even though he wasn't too sure of the snow he loved swinging with Daddy--you wouldn't be able to tell with his facial expression but he did!

3. This was a first for all of us- Last sunday we went and picked out our first christmas tree as a family of 3! It was wonderful and so fun to have our boy along for the ride!

4. Decorating his first Christmas tree. Loving the lights, stars and branches! 

"Ba ba ba" translates into "pretty lights"

Putting the star on with daddy and our ornament from SA with mommy.

5. He loves to help daddy with many different things and for the first time Josh got him to help with the dishwasher. He loves it!

He was very curious and very helpful :)

Recently I started writing down some firsts and favourites of Solomon's from the last few months and I just wanted to share is most favourite part of the day! 

BATH TIME!!

Our family has been attaching and connecting well but will continue to take it slow. Our family has been amazing and I love that we have been able to spend lots of time with them and looking forward to more!

 We are also excited to begin to introduce Solomon to many of you and know that you will just fall in love with him like we have! He is one amazing little boy with a fun personality, a great giggle, smile that brightens up any room and two precious words that melt our heart every time he says them- "mama" and "dada".

We love you our precious son and are so thankful for you!

Be Blessed...
