Homecoming

Sorry for our lack of posts yesterday- we did indeed get to bring Will home. YEA!!! It was so sweet the orphanage gave us a picture book of photos of his time at the orphanage and they even put some of them to music on a dvd (totally bawled it was so sweet). Here is a shot of us leaving the orphanage. Will looks a little stunned.

So the past 36 hours has been strange. It has felt a little like living on Noah's ark (minus the animals)- there has been a typhoon that has been here since friday afternoon when we brought Will home- so we haven't been able to leave! That's 2 adults, and 1 nine month old teething child in a 11 by 11 foot room. And our room doesn't have regular windows (two very small 1 foot windows at the top of the main room and in the bathroom). We can hear the storm raging outside but can't see it. Hopefully we can get out tomorrow. It has been a good (though tiring) time of bonding for us though- so we are thankful for the time we have had with our little Will getting to know each other better and responding to his needs.

Now this shot of us playing on the floor has not been the norm. Since we have been home Will wants to be held about 90% of his waking time. Of course we love the hugs but our backs are sore (we take turns- while the other lays on the bed to give a back break). He is teething so I'm not sure if he wants to be held due to that or that its just a strange new environment and he needs the reassurance. He sure is a sweetie.


Speaking of sweeties- look at our precious boy here.
Rice cereal! Yum! Will is a good eater- I don't think he has refused anything yet which makes me wonder are we feeding him enough?? (Wait he didn't like pear juice) He is skinny but the orphanage told us he has a sensitive stomach and not to feed him too much. But if he's hungry.....I am giving him more than they said. Being a mom is already hard!
Floor time pictures....this was a rare occurrence today but there was some play time on the floor. Don't you just love kids in just a diaper? :)


This was taken just before bedtime. We have this sleeper that came with a hat and it was too cute I had to try it on. Doesn't he look like a little pea in a pod? We just love him!!
