Judah lost his tribal type dancing and even after watching this video from a year ago he doesn't feel confident to try to mimic that type of dance. He's very American now which saddens me a little but I am so thankful I have some videos from the beginning.

Celebrating our "Gotcha" Day
ONE YEAR !!
Yes, one year ago today Dave and I met Judah face to face for the first time ever. We took him in our arms and our hearts have never let go.
In the past year Judah has had a lot of firsts:
>Gone swimming
>Flown in an airplane
>Had a birthday party
>Had a Christmas tree
>Had McDonald's
>Gone to church
>Attended Sports Camp
>Taken a road trip
>Gone to school
Any many more things.
He speaks English like a pro, he knows his alphabet and can count to 20. He dances like an American and loves rap music. He loves swimming and watching movies, drawing and playing super heroes. He's a 6 year old genius when it come to electronics. He's super social and will make friends with any kid he meets at the park. He's changed so much in the past year that it's so hard to put it all into words. But what an awesome journey this has been and we're blessed to have our little Ethiopian son!

In the first week home, Judah and Gabriel side by side (almost the same height)
Now, Judah has sot up so much that Gabriel is clearly shorter!
And here is Liam with Judah in the first week:
