Officially ours as of today!

His first night with us was much better than expected. We got back to the hotel after getting him and gave him is bottle and a few rice crackers before he headed to bed. He played in his crib here for about an hour then drifted off to sleep. We ended up falling asleep our selves. We woke up just before midnight as Reagh was stirring a little but he just fell back to sleep on his own. TJ and I were wide awake but forced ourselves to try to get more sleep as it would be a day of paper work and running around. When Reagh work up this morning he wasn’t scared that we were still with him. We had him up and changed and playing on the bed for a bit before heading down for breakfast. He has an appetite for sure. He had 2 boiled eggs, a bowl of Conge, fruit and his bottle for breakfast.....lol We’ll fatten him up in no time. He’s soooo light and small for his age. He has a hard time sitting up for long and his crawling isn’t much. He does have some strong legs and we believe he’ll be walking before he can crawl. His stomach muscles are a little weak so we have to get him to the gym soon....lol I think once we are home he’ll be walking in no time. We met another family from Australia that adopted a little girl the same age as Reagh. She’s so big compared to him. I say she eats well...lol We are hoping to go to supper with them this week if our schedules will allow it. Well I must be off to go do our formal adoption process, where is officially ours for good! We’ll take a few pictures and once we get back I’ll try to post a picture. I’m getting all your comments and we are thankful that we have so many people supporting us along this journey. I wish that I would write back to everyone that has commented and emailed but like I said the internet is expensive and we want to have money to eat...lol So please keep writing we do read them every night. Oh can someone tell my mom to check her email. I was able to get one in to her last night.



Thanks again for all your support. We will keep posting updates as much as we can.

P.S I couldn’t get this sent out before we left so I have added the photo of our family on adoption day! Its official Reagh is ours!!!! We even have a picture to prove it! I also have a few pictures of Reagh’s frist time eating prunes for the first time. You can see how much he likes it...lol We have a photo outside of the building that we had the official adoption done. It’s very foggy/ smog out today. We are going to be going to Reagh orphanage tomorrow with the coordinator of his orphanage. It’s going to be a day trip and we hope Reagh will be okay for the long drive but we are looking forward to seeing where our son lived for his first year. I will try to get pictures up tomorrow after our trip.
