Malia on our new banquette

Malia's G-dad built a kitchen banquette for us. We love it! Here is Malia enjoying the new banquette and drawing with a pencil.

Great Advertisement for Starbucks!

One Year Post Placement Report

We just had our one year interview post adopting Malia. One year!!! Our adoption social worker ended the report with this:

Malia appears to be thriving in the Parrish family home. She is developing physically, intellectually, and emotionally. There are no concerns regarding this placement. There are no referrals at this time. It is recommendation of this social worker that this placement continue.

This report and some family photos are sent back to China and that concludes our adoption paperwork. Hooray!

Malia and ST/OT

Malia just graduated from occupation therapy. She's all caught up with her gross motor skills. Hooray!

Malia said "wow" for the first time in speech therapy today. There were so many bubbles being blown, she had to say "wow!"
