We met our son!

We finally got to visit him and he is BEYOND description. Mike says seeing the caretaker walk into the room with him took his breath away. And then when she handed him to Mike and said "Poppa", they both smiled and the rest is history. He was not at all shy, took to both of us immediately and with the help of his caretaker, showed us everything he can do. He's begun crawling and gets really excited when you hold his hands so he is standing...His muscle tone has improved so much since the video. He interacts well and loves attention. We spent about an hour and 1/2 with him before he had to return to the group to have his last feeding and go to sleep for the nite. Boris and Irina will be taking us back tomorrow around 9:00 to spend some time with him and then we'll meet with the Dr. at the Baby Home and get his full medical report... More tomorrow hopefully, we're exhausted and are headed to sleep already *it's only 7:40 but we haven't really slept since we left home Saturday so

Not sure why, but this one made me cry....
Maybe it's remembering seeing Vlad for the first time...
