My Little Angel

Okay, so now that he is with me, and the orphanage has the paperwork, I can tell you what a little angel he is! All those horror stories about bringing home kids from the orphanage - well, I pretty much have the complete opposite. He is so good - he sleeps when he's supposed to sleep, eating like a little piggy (I think he's going to eat us out of house and home, and he's barely a year old...) and just overall doing well. In fact, right now, he is here with me, in a high chair, and he is quite contented, just looking around. After years of feeling like the most unluckiest person in the world, I can't help but ask myself how I got so lucky wiht my little angel!s!

And, just in case there is any doubt, he knows who mommy is - and he knows how to get what he wants! I said he's an angel, but he can be rather impatient - when he wakes up, he must have food, and when it's time for bottle (formula), he lets me know - and whines until he gets it. Then, when his tummy is full and he's had a good nap, he is all smiles, laughing and giggling away at me. It is too cute!

Yes, I miss home, but I am definitely feeling better, and able to do more. It is a little constricting, to have to adhere to nap times and feeding schedules, but alas, that is motherhood, and I love every minute of it.

And yes, the paperwork did come in yesterday. It was a little touch and go there for a minute, since there was an inspection at the orphanage, but in the end, the paperwork got there and all is well.

Hope to see you all soon!
