Home for 3 months

Today marks 3 months since landing back in the United States. It's been a wild ride and life is actually starting to feel somewhat normal. Jack has made considerable strides in the past 3 months, starting with his speech and language comprehension. He's settling down just a little bit and is a pleasant child most of the time. :) I can't believe how time has flown and yet how if feels so much longer than it has been.
As I mentioned in another post, it was great to experience a moment with him in the store where he wanted a hug from me when another woman was talking to him. Lately, after saying to hello to people, while still looking at them he points to me and says "mamma". Then he looks at me and smiles! I love it! I love him!
