Oh wow.
We've got a live-wire on our hands!

This lil' fella is full of energy,
a huge eater, and stubborn.
Very stubborn.

Oh goodie.
That's okay...I'm broken in with that type.

Here are the long awaited pics...

First meeting!

How sweet is this?
I think they look alike!

Rice Krispy Treat!
Yum!

Can't you just see the energy in his eyes?
Oh, boy.

Skyping is working GREAT.
I'm SO THANKFUL!!

He took the mic away from K-man and started singing me
a lovely Chinese ditty.
It was so adorable.

He readily says,
"I love Baba"
"I love Mama"
"I love Dong Ji!"
(His Chinese name)

And at one point during our conversation,
K-man said,
"He's buckled himself in his stroller and is happy with that...
I gotta use this time to run to bathroom!"

Sooooo funny!

Ok, I really gotta get my kiddos started on some schoolwork.
I'll report back later when I have time.

:)

    Oh wow! He is so cute! And we are praying hard for K-man to have enough energy for the entire trip with two new boys! :) He will probably come home and sleep well for a long time - your husband, that is! :)

    Beautiful boy! I love your husband - what a blessing!

    Hopefully K-man will have him broken in before they have to travel home. What a journey that could be!

    So awesome to see answered prayer. Your little man is finally with his forever baba! He is beautiful....hmmmm, handsome, that's a much better way to describe your little sturdy guy.

    Congrats mama!

    That boy is sooo cute! (You'd better be resting up now while you can!) You must be so happy! And you must be so proud to see your hubby over there, taking care of everything and bringing home the boys. What a good guy!

    All the best,
    Nicole A., now in LA

    LOVING these pics!! Congrats, Mama!!

    On a side note, is it bad that I'm praying God doesn't nudge us toward copying you this time? I have enough "live ones" already (ok, just 1, but that's enough for this lazy mama.) :)

    Congrats again, and keep up the posts to keep your stalkers happy :)

    OK, well my bloggy break has left me out of the loop!

    I am glad Kristy posted at adoptolder!!!

    HE IS ADORABLE!!! And they do look alike.

    BTW, you used your DH's name in the post below (trying to not be too specific here). Not sure if you wanted to since you usually use nickname. If you don't care, disregard my worries!

    I can't wait until you post the update on Metcha #2!!! And your DH is amazing to go this alone! W.O.W. It took The Prez and I both to control our big buy, but then again you all are pros at this!!!

    CONGRATS on your new little guy!!!

    P.S. the word verification below is "blese" I'd say "BLESE" is right even if Mr. Word Verifier spelled it wrong!!!

    I'm with Connie, "eat your wheaties." He looks like he is going to fit in just fine with his big brothers. He may actually teach them a thing or two.

    He is definitely a handsome little guy. Can't wait to see how he reacts in a few days to an older brother.

    Love,
    Mandi

  39. CharissaApril 27, 2011 at 7:43 PM

    Oh YAY!!!!! I am sooooo excited for you! He is a doll! Perhaps that energy he has now is due to some overstimulation from his new circumstances and he'll calm right down once he is home and settled. It can happen...right? :-) I know you are on cloud 9!! Just thrilled for all of you! Can't wait to see the next big meeting! When is Kelly meeting Elijah? Such an exciting time!
