Dinah, John, and Ruth

Nathan took these pics Sunday morning at breakfast. And here's an update on the kids since I haven't done that in a while.

Ruth Amelia Mueni~

~She's eating all kinds of things now. She just totally skipped over baby food and is eating table food. She likes oatmeal, wheat bread, pasta, carrots, potatoes, injera, matoke (cooked bananas), strawberrys, bananas, cheerios, and just about anything that is soft enough for her to eat and that's not baby food.
~She continues to scoot anywhere she wants to go. She's not even attempting to crawl.
~She's really trying to pull up. She has done it once in the bathtub, but that's it. I think our furniture might just be too high for her right now.
~She's adjusting to Kenyans...well at least Zipporah and Salome. We've had to leave the kids with them several times for us to go do things for the adoption and she's done great. Other than not taking her bottle from them. :)

Dinah Belle~

~She is such a little Mommy. She loves to hold Ruth and try to feed her. And takes care of her babies all the time.
~She is trying new foods. It takes her a few times to warm up to it, but she's getting the hang of it. I'm really trying not to fix seperate food for her and John so they will learn to eat what's served. They even asked for Ethiopian food the other night.
~We are working on numbers and she can count to 10 now.
~She really enjoys reading.
~Her imagination is really coming alive. It's so much fun to watch and listen to her pretending and getting John in on it, too.

John Culver~

~He's doing so awesome with potty training. I've been letting him take a nap in his undies because he really fights me when I try to put a diaper on him. He's been doing that for probably 3 weeks now. On Monday night, we decided to let him try going all night with his undies. We've been putting him in a diaper and he's not wetting it. And he's done wonderful! He woke us up by standing in the hallway and wimpering Monday night about 1am to go pee. Then this morning about 6am to go pee. We are SO proud of him!
~He will eat just about anything you put in front of him. Especially if Mommy or Daddy is eating it.
~He's such a wonderful little helper. I asked him yesterday morning if he wanted to vacuum for me and before I knew it, he had disappeared. He was in the closet trying to get the vacuum out. I helped him get it out, he pulled the cord out, plugged it up, turned it on, and started vacuuming.
~He LOVES to help me in the kitchen. Yesterday he helped me make a cake and koolaid. Then peeled the bananas to put in the freezer. He will do just about anything I ask him to. He especially likes to stir things.
