We were so exhausted, we all fell asleep at 8 last night.  He made noises every hour or two in the night, but Leya just lets him know she's here and he goes back to sleep.  They said he sleeps 9-7.  He loves toys and is very content.  It's easy to get a smile out of him.  He isn't afraid of people.  The Chinese people all comment on his big eyes.  They are rounder than most and really shine when he smiles.

Jason stayed up and talked to Leya and Craig for quite a while.  He was going to post some pictures on the blog.  Hope you saw them.

People seem genuinely excited when they see us with a Chinese baby.  Our guide said they appreciate what we are doing for girls and special needs.

We took him to a nice Japanese restaurant for dinner, linens and all, and he watched everything from the pack until he got a little antsy and he sat on my lap the rest of the time.  The meal cost us less than $15 and we only ate half of it.  Next time it will be less than $10. We are heading back to civil affairs this morning.  Apparently the paperwork Leya signed yesterday was just about taking responsibility for Craig for the night.  Today is the real deal.

Wednesday they are taking us to Walmart to pick up clothes. He is bigger than we thought (12 month). Leya likes him in a dark blue outfit and his dark green pajamas. I heard her telling him he looks good in dark colors. According to her, the light blue wasn't his color. :-) at this point, though, we won't be picky.

Thanks for your prayers. Sleeping at the right times seems to be our only real challenge. Have a good day!
