{update: brooke}

developmental update: she's gone from pushing up on her forearms in prone to crawling everywhere, sitting independently, pulling herself up to stand, and starting to cruise. she's eating from a spoon, babbling and expressing herself in many ways, and has recently learned to clap her hands. 

medical update: her liver failure doesn't appear to be getting worse. in fact, the most recent labs indicate some slight improvement (which i attribute to improved hydration/nutrition, love and jesus, of course.)

forever family update: she has one and her adoption is being expedited due to her medical circumstances; it is only a matter of time before she's home!
