One year anniversary

Today is our 1 year anniversary of GOTCHA Day. That's the day we took physical custody of Nathan.

The picture to the left is the first picture we ever got of Nathan. It was his referrral picture. The picture to the right is the first Nathan and daddy picture. It was the first time Keyoor held Nathan on Gotcha Day.

In honor of that, I posted pictures of Nathan from the past year. I posted Nathan's referral picture, his Gotcha Day picture, and various pictures throughout the year. You will see from these, what a difference nutritional food and a loving home environment make in a child's life.

On Gotcha Day Nathan was 15 months old and wearing a size 9 months. Today he is 2 years old and wearing a size 2T. He is healthy, active, social and most of all loving and generous. He goes through many of the issues other adoptive kids face, anxiety issues and anger issues. We patiently work through them.

It hasn't been an easy year for many reasons, but being mommy and daddy to Nathan has made it the best year.

The picture above is Nathan enjoying summer. The picture below is typical cuteness.

This is Nathan dressed as his namesake Lord Krishna for the Mundan ceremony.

Here is Nathan all dressed up for his birthday. Nathan turned 2.

And here is my big boy now. This was taken at Easter when my sister Rina and her hubby Randy visited. Nathan loves Randymasa (aka Uncle Randy).

Love will make a child grow, said Nathan's pediatrician.  The proof in the pictures.
