It's been awhile.....

Hi Everyone!!!! it's been far too long, we have been busy with Dasha! Time flies! Darya will be 2 years old on May 3rd and April 13th will mark one year ago that we met our little daughter in a baby house in Northern Kazakhstan.
Darya is really coming along superbly. She has the sweetest temperment and says about 20 words now and is trying to repeat everything we say. Soon she'll be making sentences! She loves making faces and loves to laugh, her favorite game is hide and seek. She also loves her dollies and has started to play pretend and try to feed them and chanhe diapers. We also just recently starting potty training and hoefully will graduate soon! Darya has a few buddies now, but her best friend is Jodie who she sees at least one a week for playdates. Darya loves to pull Jodie in the wagon. Darya is still super tiny ( about 20 lbs at 23 months) but she is active and for the most part eats well. Sometimes it's a struggle to get her to eat enough, but she is more of a grazer throughout the day.
Anways, we are soon hoping to start adoption # 2 at some point, as it would be nice for Darya to have a sibling, so perhaps soon we will be adding some new adventures to this Blog ! Stay Tuned!!
I think about all the kiddies I met in Darya's group all the time, Dasha # 2, Pasha,Sasha, Serik/Trey, Evalina, Nurman, Isaloo. I am happy to stay in touch with the families we met and some of them who adopted some of the kiddies I mention above. Sasha ( who is the little boy who is pictured here http://kazahkstanorbust.blogspot.com/2006/04/day-6-happy-easter-everyone.html
in a previous post on our blog)was moved into the room with the kids who are a bit older then baby room #2 so I never found out what happened to him, he would be between 2.5 and 3 yrs old by now. If anyone knows what became of him, please let me know, I wonder about him all the time.
Bye for now :-)
