Be still my heart...

He said "Mama". He has a good teacher, of course, who knows the value of lots of review. :) Yep, and this morning when those big brown eyes were maybe two inches from mine and he said those two syllables, we all heard it unmistakably. Then again several times again throughout the morning. He has been sort of warming up to it the last few days, but he hit a home run straight into Mommy's heart today. Then Sophie laid down on the bed with him and he cuddled up with her, burrowing his head into her chest...such a little loving baby! He fell asleep cuddled next to me just now on the bed..his life is good. Mine is too.

  2. CONGRATULATIONS!!! What an exciting time!! What's the food like? Do you get a ton of looks from the locals? Are they kind or are they visual daggers? Does he have a toy he gravitates to?

  3. So glad to hear an update! He sounds so lovable! Are you not just loving the boy heartstrings?! They are unmistakable. I CAN.NOT.WAIT to see photos. I won't be able to be at the airport b/c of a Bible study I'm helping w/ but maybe we can come by when things settle down. I can't wait to meet him! If you are up for it, I would love to bring dinner one night? (I figure I would bribe w/ food to get an invite to meet him in person!;)
