Would you believe me if I told you that we've had Ryan for 7 hours and hasn't cried once. He has been SO good. Every once in a while he fusses a bit but if we walk with him and pat his back he calms. We'll see what happens tonight and on the 13 hour flight home. He hates the baby carrier and yells when we tried to put it on. Either way we feel lucky that he has been so content for this long.
He loves puffs...so glad I brought some. He goes AhhhhhhAhhhhhhhh....when he wants another one. He will look at Joey and I and just smile. He sure is making up from the lack of smiling he did in his pictures. I also found that when you tickle his tummy he laughs and he LOVES to play peek-a-boo. His foster father always played that with him.
He hardly eats. He actually had a physical this morning before we got him and he weighs a whopping 18 pounds! He is so tiny. He is just a little peanut but has a big personality. He is very curious about every noise catches his attention.
He napped twice today. The first nap was 2 hours long and the second nap was about 40 minutes. We are about to go and grab dinner with him. It will be our first meal as a family. After that he will get a bath. Trying to stick to his schedule as much as possible. I sat him in the tub just to see what he would do and he just sat in there and play with his toys. It was so cute. We were told that he loves bath time.
I'm sure now that I wrote this all hell will break loose. I'm just waiting for this happy content baby to start crying and screaming. We love him and are so excited to get back home.

ReplyDeleteHe's so darn cute!! I could just hug him through the screen! Congratulations you guys!! You know... he may just never have that screaming fit you are fearing.

ReplyDeleteSo great to see pictures of you with Ryan! I hope Ryan, you, and your hubby do well on the plane ride home!

ReplyDeleteHopefully you had a better trip home than we did. We also have a little peanut. I need to buy some clothes because everything I have is too big!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cutie - congratulations! We're still early in our adoption process so I'm gleaning all I can from other blogs. I look forward to hear how you're all adjusting. Thinking of you!
