Blen Alexis

We've decided Blen's middle name will be Alexis after Wendy's dad, Alex. Here's more...

Fun facts about Blen;
Favorite 'diss': remains a shoulder shrug (translation: no thanks, I'm not interested-in you)
Favorite toy: whatever her brother is playing with at the time
Favorite food: scrambled eggs, pasta, rice....anything but fruits & veggies








Favorite drink: water. not milk. or juice. or even kool-aid(not that we've tried it)



Favorite place: anywhere outside, regardless of the weather










Spoken words(English): "Jo" for Joel, "Mama" for Wendy & John, "wa-wa" for water, and her all time favorite "No" for EVERYTHING
Favorite book: "Moo, Baa, La La La", by S.Boynton
Favorite form of communication: point & grunt
Favorite new 'comforter': daddy
Favorite accessory: dirt
Favorite hair accessory: food and headbands worn backwords & over her eyes.
Favorite dance move: bending arm to twist and wave to the beat (she loves Bob Marley)

She likes to watch our cats do anything but whines when they're close to her. She points and barks at dogs, but is no fan of petting them.

Her hair is beautiful, it's grown longer and into little curls.
Her smile brightens the room and makes her eyes sparkle.
She makes smacking sounds with her lips when she wants a kiss, or to give one.

Many people have told us she looks like Joel. Seriously.

  2. Finally, an update! (I know, from someone without a blog...). I forgot to tell you that a lady told me (in all seriousness) that when you adopt a child at a young age, they will start to take on your facial features (and she didn't mean mannerisms - she was talking nose, cheeks, etc). So no wonder people thinks she looks like Joel. (???) When Blen gets blond hair, don't be surprised - it's just her morphing into you.

  6. I LOVE the picture of her and Joel! Blen does look like a big girl, and Joel is so big I got a little teary eyed! It has been too long. I pray for you all so often. Miss you!
