Grinning from ear to ear

My number one wish after picking up Nathan is to see him smile.  Just a smile.  In all of the pictures we have received, he’s looked so sad.  Keith wants to hear a belly laugh.  Andrew… Well, Andrew wants to give him a lollipop (simply because he wants a lollipop too!).  Imagine my delight when I finally received the update that I ordered and saw pictures of my baby boy and he is………  SMILING!!!

Filling a leaf with sand… good times!

We received updated measurements and it seems we have a tall, skinny little guy.  He is 38 inches and 29 pounds.  He doesn’t look that skinny but he also many have 20 layers of clothes on.  They say he is potty trained and is a great sleeper.  We’ll see about both of those! :-)

And lastly, 9 days to go!!  Look at how short that paper chain has gotten!

Love, love the smiley photos! Also love that he is flashing you a peace sign in the first one, as if to say, "No worries, Mom, it's all good!"

Great photos! He will be smiling even more when he is with his new family. I don't know why you doubt his potty training and sleeping abilities. ;-)
