One month

While it feels like I've always know Adam, I also still feel like I can't believe he is home. One month ago today, Brian and I met Adam for the first time. Our hearts and our lives will never be the same. We feel so blessed to have this sweet boy as our son. Adam definitely has the hang of his new routine. He enjoys playing with his toys, riding in the jogging stroller, going for walks with the dog, taking a long bath with lots of splashing, eating, eating some more, signing "more eat" frequently throughout the day, saying "hi" to Sebastian, Peewee, and Baby Cat (our pets) when he wakes up, having Mom and Dad hold him, sitting in any kind of basket, and pointing to fans. He has met his grandparents, as well as some uncles, his aunt, and his little cousin. He also had his first trip to the zoo and the beach.

A few of my favorite things.......

1 week

I can't believe its been a week already! Adam is doing well adjusting to his new home. He is not longer afraid of Sebastian, our dog. He will even pet him now on occasion. We have been working on establishing a very consistent routine for Adam to help him feel comfortable in his new environment. The 12 hour time change has been difficult. For the first few days Adam was only "napping" for 2-3 hours at a time, however, 2 nights ago he slept through the night without waking. Last night he still woke up twice. Right now he seems to enjoy just being held most of the day, as well as playing with his toys occasionally. We had our first appointment with the pediatrician this week. He was very pleased with Adam's growth and development. He did say though, that he thought Adam may actually from New York, not China, due to his behavior during the examination:) Good thing both of his parents are former New Yorkers!
