Wow! I still find myself watching Tarun play in my living room and am amazed that he is really here! What joy he has brought to our lives. He continues to amaze us with how quickly he learns things. He's added "Thank you, Bye-Bye, Pizza, Mama, Dada, car and color" to his vocabulary of English words and babbles on and on in either Hindi or baby giberish, we're not quite sure which.:) He also loves to give 5's and a thumbs up. It's adorable how excited he gets when his accomplishment are rewarded with cheers and applause.
We couldn't believe how much he loved going to the waterpark. No fear here! Only giggles and smiles. Until we were done, of course, and it was time to get out of the water. Probably never having had the opportunity to shiver before, he was not quite sure what to think of that and tried very explicitly to tell mom something. If only she could understand his language!
We've enjoyed the visits of many friends, including Simran and Gagan who were from the same orphanage. But it's been a long year since he had seen them and they've had to work just as hard as everyone else to win his affection.
Tarun is a good eater and gobbles down pretty much whatever we give him with the exception of fruit and yogurt. He sleeps through the night for the most part but has decided that he really doesn't care so much for bedtime. We've added a bright nightlight and a boombox with the radio playing all night and that has seemed to help alot.
Tarun is such a wonderful addition to our family and we are incredibly blessed! Thank you all for your love, prayers and support!

Amy, Tarun is just too cute with those glasses on :). He also looks like he is having a ball at the water park. He has never known such happiness ! God has not only blessed you and your whole family, but he has truly blessed Tarun by giving him such a wonderful, loving family. What a beautiful sight to see Tarun soaking up all of your love. Keep the pictures coming when you are able, because it certainly brightens each of our days to see his transformation in his wonderful new family. God and his love is so amazing!
Love,
Lucy
It is amazing to think that you have had him for 3 weeks now. He is so adorable! He looks so happy and I know that he is. To see you all with him and the shine that comes from your faces and eyes it is more than just pictures it is real deep love for Tarun that will only grow every second that you are with him. Just as your own children did. I am so happy for you all.
