good texts....first steps

I love getting texts like this one from the aunties at the baby house: (in typical Kenyan texting)

"Hi mum. Hope u & Juju r ok n enjoying. Ev'one is fine n guess what...joseph is taking his first steps! Salimia wote. Miss u sana sana."

I LOVE happy updates on my babies, especially when they are such fun milestones! We have been waiting for Jophes (as we affectionately call him, thanks to Julia & Miah) to take his first steps!

Joseph has become such a happy little boy. His Auntie Maggie is definitely the bright spot in his day. They have a wonderful bond. Joseph has been freed for adoption and will be matched and placed as soon as I get back to Kenya.

Here he is on his first day at HOH, one day old...

And today, with Auntie Maggie....
