Celebrate good times, come on! Our families all went out for brunch in celebration of Jada's big Adoption Day.
All of the people present during our court appearance- The Judge, Jada's lawyer, our lawyer, Cody's parents, Rebecca's parents, and Cody's sister's family. 
The Judge and lawyers were so great to us. We appreciate their hard work so we can be a family.

Cousins- Jonah, Emma, and Mia, with Jada, as well as Grandpa/ma David/Betsy
Standing by herself (for a few seconds)!
It has been awhile since I, mom, have got on here and shared what Jada is doing. She is such a big girl, now, and only wants to do big girl things. Jada will grab on to my fingers, pull herself up and walk all over the house. The walker she has is too tall for her, but we borrowed the walker from her grandparents house and Jada is really moving around and she loves it...however, she will follow me around and grab my pants leg when she wants out. She has really become a mommy's girl. After spending time with family during Thanksgiving she got alot better about letting other people hold her, but if I am in the same room she thinks she needs me. I do love that she loves me, but we are going to work on her trusting other people, too. We are getting ready for Christmas and Jada is already loving all the lights and wrapping paper. This Christmas is going to be so fun...Cody and I have waited to be parents for a LONG time and we are enjoying each moment as a family. Even the nights of crying and no sleep are all forgotten when Jada smiles at us in the morning. God is good!
This was on the same night and she laughed a lot but there is a twist to this one! Just as funny.
Jada is a little talker. She will squeal, make a little raspberry sound and "sing" to herself when she gets tired.
Jada loves watching her cousins play and talk to her. Mia, the youngest, always gives the play-by-play of what Jada is doing at that moment. Jonah, Emma and Mia lovingly refer to Jada as "Baby Jada"...it is so cute!
She was just having a blast for like 10 minutes staring at the ceiling fan and the lights and kicking the ball. She just talked and talked.
I would blow just a little in her face, and it would shock her. You can hear her gasp as she gets startled. She would fling her hands back and after the shock wore off she would smile and laugh. It never fails, she does it every time. It is rather funny.
It never fails. We will be doing something with her and she will just laugh and we will think "Hey this needs to be on video." So we pull the video out and she quits doing it and gets mad. On this occassion we went round and round. She would laugh, get the camera out, she would cry, put the camera up and she would laugh and on and on. In the middle of this though, she had a really long yawn. Most of her yawns seem to never end. To adorable.
She can't crawl yet, but she can inch along. Though I think she would just rather be held.
I'm with Jada on this one...Mom you seem a little crazy! Jada especially likes the part where Rebecca praises her.
