Gotcha Day

Isn't he the cutest thing you have ever seen? We are so in love!!!!!!! Finally after a big and emotional day our sweet baby boy is sleeping in his crib. He looks like such a sweet angel. So here is how the afternoon went.......
Jason and I sat here quite anxiously for "the call" from Jenny. When she called us from the lobby she told me that our son was here and that he was adorable! It seemed like hours for her to make it up to the 11th floor, we were so ansy. Finally we hear a little one crying and then the knock. Well Tai was not a happy camper. He cried for quite awhile. The orphanage director and some sort of assistant that is over the children brought Tai to us. We all went out into the play area. I walked around in circles with him for awhile and then it was Jason's turn while I talked with the orphanage director. We learned a few things about Tai. After the ladies left it was just us and Jenny. Tai continued to cry for quite awhile. Jenny was wonderful and finally she was able calm Tai down, speaking chinese to him. Then we started feeding him some of the crackers that the orphanage sent with him. From then on it went much better. We were able to get him to laugh and even give us kisses! We played for quite awhile and did some paperwork. After a bit of playing we all ventured out to the grocery store. We needed some milk and snacks for Tai ( and a few beers and coke for us). We came back to the room and played some more and then it was bath time. He loved his bath. Then baba read Tai a book and rocked him to sleep. Tai is definitely a daddy's boy! He likes me too, but seems to really like his daddy. He cried when I tried to rock him to sleep. For some reason there are fireworks tonight. Guess they are for our celebration! How fun!!!
We are so in love with this little guy. He has the biggest smile and gets so proud of himself when he does something good. He loves to clap his hands and laugh. He also loves to imitate us. He is about to eat us out of cheerios! He talks and babbles, but of course we have no idea what he says. It is so cute. Oh, he also throws the ball with his left hand!!!!!!!!!! His daddy is awfully proud of that! Well we are off to get some rest since Tai is sleeping we probably should too. Tomorrow we have to be up early for civil affairs and more paperwork. Enjoy the pics of our handsome new son! Thanks for all of the emails and notes. We LOVE hearing from you everyday!
