My head is spinning

I can't even believe I'm sitting here typing this and Jesse is in the crib behind me. We brought him home with us this afternoon - and things have been going well. Our playtime this morning was okay - we were able to muster a smile from him with a little tickling but it was a great start. Although it was the only one we managed to see. And he promptly fell asleep after a few more minutes of playtime. You can see in the pictures we spent a good amount of time snuggling while he rested this morning.



We left him for a few hours and ran around to drop off some paperwork for translation and then to buy some diapers and a few bottles. We're hoping he'll catch on to the sippy cup but for now he's still on his familiar bottle. We went back after his afternoon nap and everyone gathered to say good-bye to him. He was a lot of the social workers favorite :) They brought out his little girlfriend and his other good friend to say good-bye as well. The girlfriend brought many smiles from him. Then he was handed over to us - you'll see in the picture - and we headed back to the hotel for some quiet time. He loved having all the toys to himself and gathered everything up in his lap. He loved turning the pages in his book.

We headed out to dinner with an email friend who is here to attend the board meeting on the 13th as well. She's adopting a 6 year old. It was nice meeting her and her family in person and we hope to connect with a few more families from the states, who are also attending the meeting.

Well both the boys are sleeping - we've already talked to Ian (who is about to start his day back home) and I guess it's time for me to get some sleep, too. We think Jesse might wake up for a bottle in the middle of the night, so better get some rest now. :)
