It's Been A Week

I apologize for the grainy pic. The camera hasn't worked well since Randy got back from Ethiopia.

Our littlest guy has been home ONE week. What an amazing little guy! He has done so well. He is a soft spoken kid, UNLESS you get out of his sight and then he will scream. He is happy 99% of the time. The other small bit is when he is hungry or tired. He laughs a lot. He babbles. He can say Momma and Daddy and he knows what those words mean. (He also likes to tease and not use them when you ask him to) He can sign 'more' (especially when in conjunction with food!) I am amazed as I watch him. His resilience is awe inspiring.

We've taken him out to eat, to the grocery, to school with Sawyer and to Target in the span of 1 week. He took it all in and never had a meltdown. He sleeps pretty much through the night. If he does wake up, you can just tell him to lay down and he'll go back to sleep. He loves playing with the kids, especially chasing Ansley as she runs screaming through the house. He loves to wrestle with anyone who'll oblige. He loves to be tickled and to be kissed. He'll blow kisses too.

I could have never predicted that this first week would have gone so smoothly. We're enjoying every minute and could not have asked for any better adjustment so far.
