Today, our littlest girly swirl turned two. If it seems like just about nine months since her last birthday that is because it was... we are moving her birthday up a few months. So this was her first run at a December birthday and all reports are that it went well.
Our family is not spending much time blogging these days but we are doing well. Tarik continues to be a total clown (when she is not teething). She has moved to the big girl bed, which she calls the "good girl" bed. She loves her sisters and they love her. We continue to be amazed at how
seamlessly she has integrated into our family. She also sings constantly. Her favorite songs are Twinkle, Twinkle; Baby Bumble Bee; The ABC's (a creative version), The WonderPets Theme (she sings "Underpants"), Ring Around the Rosy, and others. When we are lucky she mashes all the songs up into one medley.On a legal note, one of the final hurdles to finalizing the adoption is our Missouri court date, which is set for December 17. No real change should happen, it is just the state recognizing the adoption. Seeing as how she is black, I would think the adoption is already quite recognizable, but maybe not. On that date, however, we are officially moving her birthday and changing her name to Tarikwa Teka (her original Ethiopian name - it is currently Tarikwa Reed).
That is a lot of logistics stuffed into a birthday blog, but our posts are rare enough that we needed to catch you up.

Hey guys! I can't believe she is 2 already, gosh where did the time go?? When you get a minute, can you email me. We are needing to change Tenaye's birthdate too and I had a couple of questions about the process. With Isaac we left the birthdate the same and just changed the name. Thanks!
