Loving Life!


Little Jakob had no idea what to expect when these crazy people came and took him out of the orphanage. It will be 3 weeks tomorrow that Jakob has been with us. He is growing everyday. 3 weeks ago, he laid in his crib for a good part of the day. His body was weak and not much strength in his legs. Each day he is doing new things. This past week he rolled over from his stomach to his back. He is still working on sitting up, but tends to fall over. Here is a video of his latest changes. You have to love that smile.

Enjoy! (Hit the arrow button to play video)

Hugs & Kisses

Rick, Mandi & Jakob

Isn't it amazing the progress they make when they receive consistant attention and human contact! Our little Malachi was unable to put any weight on his legs when we got him and by the time we left Ethiopia he was standing with help! And once he got a taste of the doorway jumper...he developed calves! :+)

That is perfect music to go with the jumping! He is adorable...
