The day has finally arrived and we are ready to pick up our little guy. Nadya, our translator, called us around 9:15 Tuesday morning to tell us to be ready at 9:50. Wow, not much time. We jump out of bed and get everything ready for our pick up. Its pretty much a blur once we start our adventure to the different offices to sign paperwork. We just went with the flow. We finally arrive at the baby house around 11-ish. We take the gifts to the proper people then off to his room to change his clothes and get him ready. His clothes swallowed him whole. We couldn't find him once his coat was on. So funny! The ride back to the hotel went well. He is such a great baby. Once we are back we played for a while, talked to the family, then took a short nap. We have quickly found out that he is an eater. He loves sweet potatoes and yogurt. It was bath time around 8 and this little guy is an olympic swimmer in the tub. Back and fourth over and over again. It was hilarious. After his bath he had a little bit of cereal then off to bed. Daddy got him right to sleep. He slept for about an hour then woke up screaming. I think he was scared. It took a little while to get him back out, but after he finally gave up he slept until 8am this morning. Thank goodness for the pacifier. We were super excited to get a some needed rest. He had cereal and pear baby food for breakfast and loved it. We are just hanging out in the hotel now playing with our sweet little guy.
We will leave tomorrow around 2 to pick up his passport then head to Moscow for the remainder of our trip. We are glad to be together, but can't wait to be home. See you all very soon.
With love,
Scott and Mel
