Teeth
So this week Cavin has been working on cutting three teeth! Craziness! He's pretty well had a low grade fever since Sunday, but thankfully, he hasn't been fussy much and when he has, teething tablets have done the trick. So far the left middle and the richt lateral incisor have broken through, still waiting on the right central incisor to break through his gums. Its close!

9 Months
So tomorrow Cavin will be 9 months old. I can't believe he is already this big and doing so much!
He weighs 16 pounds 8 ounces and is 27 inches long.
He has been crawling (the real way, sadly the Cavin Crawl/The Combover is no more) for a few weeks. Its cute and getting him into all kinds of trouble!! But it does provide mommy and daddy lots of laughs!
He loves to talk, but if there are many people around he is usually pretty quiet and busy observing everything and taking it all in. He also likes to sing with mommy. He is beginning to repeat in his own way, what you say and do.
He gives really wet kisses and loves to wave bye-bye. He shakes his head yes and no and sometimes does a combination of both.
He loves to play with his daddy and as a result, loves to be upside down. You have to be careful when holding him because he'll just lean over and dive upside down. One of his favorite games to play with daddy is to drop a toy while daddy is holding him, then daddy will hold his legs while he gets to go upside down to retrieve his toy. Repeat until daddy gets tired!
Anything related to electronics are his favorite toys, cords, outlets, cell phones, lap tops, blow dryers, remote controls...
He is quite the ticklish little boy and I love his chuckle that you typically hear only when he's being tickled!
He is a very busy little boy and is very rarely still. He wiggles while you hold him, he wiggles while he eats, he is always moving. Our favorite is to hold him in the air and watch his legs go crazy!
And he still loves bath time.
We have recently found out he is highly allergic to anything peanut and most likely (his blood had a positive reaction) to milk, egg, wheat and barely soy. The allergist isn't concerned about the soy at all, and Cavin has been eating wheat with puffs and cheerio's so he thinks he's okay there too. We'll get to experiment with cow's milk and other dairy products very slowly and carefully when he's of age and see how he does. He may or may not be able to have them. The good thing is is 95% of kids allergic to milk outgrow their allergy by the age of 6. Egg will be a bit more tricky as his reaction was a bit stronger to it, but the allergist is hopeful that with time he will be able to eat egg as well.

You Guessed It!
Well, actually Jillian was the first to guess it without cheating (errr...being resourceful!). I will say some of the names were, well, not so lovely, but there were a few guesses that I really liked! And of course, those of you who guessed Lance a while back were really close!
I was going to wait and update this later, but we're heading out of town for the weekend (which we are so excited about!). Anyways, I didn't want to make you wait until Monday since I have made you all wait long enough already!
Our adopted son will be named Rance.
We won't decide on a middle name for sure until we meet him! We can't wait to put a cute little face with our name!
Please continue to lift Rance up in your prayers!
Thanks for playing the name game with us!

Immigration!!
This week we recieved our notarized homestudy reports!! Finally!
This weekend we will be filling out Form I-600A, Application for Advance Processing of Orphan Petition to submit to the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
This is the paperwork that will allow our little orphan to enter the U.S. with us and become a legal citizen.
This will also cost us another $830.00.
We have a LOT of fundraising to do! We have some creative ideas but aren't sure if some will work or not, so we'll see how it goes. If you have any ideas for fundraising please leave a comment with your ideas! We'd love to hear them!
