Home...One Month Today

One month ago today our long journey from South Korea began for the three of us. It was also the beginning of our journey as a family of three. So much has changed for all of us in the last month, but I can truly say we are all bonding very well.

I got a haircut today and Owen stayed with Grandma (Nathan's Mom). When I came in he gave me a big kiss. It was so sweet! He also knows I am going to smother him with kisses and he puts his cheek to my mouth in anticipation.

When Nathan comes home at night I tell Owen "I hear Daddy!" His eyes light up and he starts to kick his feet. When Nathan walks in he cackles.

Last Saturday night we heard for the first time his all out belly laugh. He has another little squeal that he makes to laugh, but this was a belly laugh.

All around, he is so much more comfortable with us, his home, his grandparents, his toys and our friends. You can see that he trust us with things like feeding, diaper changing, bath time and bed time. It is amazing to see the transformation.

Last night he slept in his bed all night...didn't even wake up for a bottle! We were shocked. We kind of both got worried about 5 something this morning, but we didn't check on him until 7ish. He did great. I think that has to do a lot with his comfort level.

He is working on four teeth! Two are pretty much in a we have two that are very close. Really, he has not been all that fussy about his teeth. He is a very easy baby.

Thanks for all the prayers for my friends who were waiting for their babies to come home...they are all home now. Also, our friend Woody is doing better as is Harper Stamps.

Thanks also for praying for our family. This amazing transition is due to all the prayers that people have offered for us.
