The international adoption specialist/pediatrician referred to Oliver as a "late bloomer" when she last saw him a few months ago. Each month he has been home he has made greater strides to "catch up" and is now on target for his age. Oliver will soon have 4 teeth (his top two are coming in) and at 12 months old has begun to take his first unaided steps. His favorite words: "No", "Doggy" and "Daddy". He will also say, "ba ba" for bottle, "Mama", "hi", "nigh nigh" for night, night and "ba" for ball.
Now that Oliver has been home for 6 months, we can begin the readoption process (the state of NJ likes for you to have your child home for 6 months before you readopt, you can do it before but it requires multiple court appearances). I'm working on the paperwork now and we hope to have our court date in 2-3 months.
Mr. Personality...at home for 6 months--
