Talk about a celebration

I'm sure you noticed in the picture from our court date (see previous post) that the judge looked so happy to make the adoption final. Well I never expected the city to bring in the Blue Angels. But they did!!! Thursday morning was the adoption finalization in court. It was a very quick but very important last step to the whole process. My new birth certificate should be here in a couple weeks and then I can get a passport. I wonder where mom and dad will take me. Winter is coming up and I can think of a few islands that would provide a nice break from the cold weather. Just sayin'. Now, back to those Blue Angels. After we left court Thursday I noticed some very loud planes overhead. Sure enough, the navy sent their best pilots to help us celebrate the big week. Thousands of other people from the area came as well as we watched them do some amazing tricks. I wish I could have actually ridden in the plane but we weren't sure if my car seat was approved in fighter jets. So I put my ear plugs in and watched from the ground. 

They even sent a tank to make sure security was adequate

Besides some big time celebrating just a few new things for the week. The battle of the bed seems over. I protested last week and won. This week mom got the wedge and it appears we have a solution. I am quite happy with the degree of elevation and have not had reflux problems like last week. Here is a picture of me sleeping soundly in my crib. Mom took a risk with the flash going off while I was sleeping but I didn't even move. My angel care (apnea) monitor works fine with the wedge pillow so everyone is happy.

And finally, I have started eating real (sorta) food.  If my neocate formula is liquid gold, my neocate cereal is solid gold. But since I can't tolerate any other solids at this point, mom says its a good short term solution. I really like it. And I had no problem with an adult size spoon. Hopefully I will get some that fit my mouth a bit better but I'm not complaining. It delivers the goods just fine.

So all in all, it was a fantastic week. 

cheers,
