Auntie Deb and Biniyam at Seattle's zoo the day before Bini's 1st Birthday. We had a great time and were able to pick Greg up from the airport that evening when he returned from Haiti.
Here's our handsome one year old. He weighs 22lbs and is 29 inches long.
I love the way he scrunches up his nose when he smiles!
Both kids in their Ethiopian outfits.
Biniyam's first taste of cake
He loves it!
We'd been working with Bin on his "more" sign and he wasn't clearly using it, he'd wiggle his hands or clap and we'd count it as asking for more. But on his Birthday after devouring his piece of cake he brought his two little hands together and very clearly asked for "more." And of course I had to give him more, it was his first time using his sign. He now signs "more", "all done" and "book". I love this stage of development when we get insight into his little mind and desires.
Bini is quite chatty!

I absolutely loved looking at these pictures! What a beautiful family!!! Hugs to you all and miss you guys!
I agree; that happy face when he smiles so big is adorable!
Hi all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Biniyam!! (He is a doll). Ella is so beautiful and glad to hear she is doing well and port out (yeah!!). Biniyam is so lucky to have Ella as a big sis (and vice/versa). Glad to hear Greg is safely home ~ sounds as he had a great welcoming committee.
