Day 7 & 8 of Bonding

We have had a good couple of days. Baby Larrick has set up for most of both days. He is starting to stand a little bit more. We met a mother to be. She is waiting on their court date. Her husband had to go back to the states and she stayed. Her little girl is walking and Baby Larrick is seeing her and I think that is making him want to stand more. He started making a lot more sounds today, he is so funny. When he makes the sounds he looks to us to see what we are doing then he starts to laugh and puts his head down and smiles, like he is happy he is making us smile at him. They have walkers at the orphanage and we started putting him in one yesterday and he loves it. He just sits in it and plays with his cups and balls. He likes trying to grab them and watching them roll around on the table. I am happy he likes it because it puts his legs in the right spot for standing and hopefully that will help him on standing up. Today he wanted to look out side a lot, the sun was out and I think it was calling him to come see it. He needs to see some sun per the doctor. Yesterday he fell asleep in my arms I was happy he felt comfortable with me to fall asleep. After a while I handed him to Drew to hold he woke up but went right back to sleep. I guess he feels that we are good for him, which makes us so happy. Today he started to fall asleep again but we kept him a wake so that he could get his lunch. Once he had his lunch he was a wake and wanting to play more. He watched me today cleaning up when it was time to leave. I felt like he knew what I was doing and he did not want us to go.

Today we went to a store called “Mothescare” and got a teething ring, bibs, and a bottle. We have been told we could bring juice but not sure if they will supply us with the bottle or not, and the teething ring is because my fingers are not a teething ring and the past 2 days I have been being teethed on. Drew said that is what I get for putting my fingers near his mouth. I guess he is right for once.

We have a meeting tonight with Olga and Asiya regarding our SOS paperwork. The English version has some incorrect dates, and we’re not sure if any thing else is wrong on it. They are going to look it over and let us know. I know this is for our records but I still want it to be correct for the doctors back home.

Well that is all for today I hope everyone is doing good. We will talk to you soon.
