I am sitting here with a little peanut in my lap who is so happy to watch the keyboard and screen! All new to him. Everything is new to him and he is so interested and fascinated by it all. He is already showing great signs of attachment. Following us with his eyes, looking for us when he is with the other one of us, crawling to us and grabbing our ankles to be picked up. In the playroom yesterday he steered clear of the others and just hung with Mama and Papa.
He is eating so much and happy with the new formula. So far everything is going well for him, no digestive issues. His spitting up seems better and he loves his fruits and veggies! He is crawling more on his hands and knees but still does the army crawl a lot of the time. He has cut his first tooth and it is slowly making its way out. He loves to play on the floor or on the bed. A big comfy bed is something new to him, a great place to explore.
Today we went out for the first time in Moscow with him. We went to Red Square and the mall at Red Square for lunch at McDonalds. The first lunch under $50 in a long time! It tasted great. Gave Oliver a french fry but he just mushed it up, doesn't know how to feed himself at all yet. It will be a while before we let him, part of the attachment process. The little Babushkas kept coming up to make sure he was bundled up properly, and he was! Not one said anything. For those of you who don't know the Russian women are very outspoken on care and bundling of babies. Oliver did well out but wasn't too interested in being out. It was windy and cold and his little cheeks turned red even with two hats and a scarf. He also doesn't like that his thumb is inside his snowsuit!
Tomorrow we have our US Embassy appointment at 2:00, all orphan appointments are at 2:00. I am anxious to see all of the adopted children. Everyone says it so fun to see! So far I know of 5 families staying at our hotel. After our appointment we have to go to the Aeroflot office to gt Oliver's ticket. Thought it was taken care but when I called today to confirm his bassinet they said he doesn't have a seat or ticket. Not what the US office said. Whatever just get us home!
