Another great day
We got to see the boy again today. John was even complimented on his fathering skills today. Our translator said very few new fathers know how to hold a baby as well as he does. Many of you are asking about the name, yet we are still waiting to get more information about his current name. We gave the caregivers a journal we are starting for him, with many questions for them to answer.
He was very active and always wants to look around. We tried to lay him on his belly, but he did not seem to know what to do. When we picked him back up he looked at us like "hey what was that all about?" He was working his little muscles pretty hard today. He was even sweating as they had him in three layers. One day we might even get to see the rest of his body.
For those of you wanting measurements will you please tell me what you need. He is 53 cm tall from head to toe.
It also looks like we will be able to start helping some university students with their English soon. Maybe even starting tomorrow.

HI Little Karo and John,
Great to hear from you and our new little grandson. Sounds like ya'll are having a good time and teaching university students more English will help pass the time away and be of a great service, too. Have a good evening.
Love,
Mimi
Hey y'all,
It was good to hear your voice last night, even for a little bit. Sounds like this little guy is quite curious and active ~ can't wait to meet him!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us.
Bet y'all will have a lot of fun teaching English.
Love you,
Sharron
sounds like things are going well but slooow:-) For me, I need chest, head circumference and inseam and waist(which sounds like you may not be able to get yet. I think for buying garments the heighth will be a good start. any color or themes preferred?? Will you still need receiving type blankets or is he past the swaddling stage?? One day closer to coming home.
Love,
Jim and Beth
53 cm, help Bethie, I don't do metric (grin)...so, doesn't like his belly, does that mean he's not into getting up on all fours to pre-crawl? 8 mos., hopefully he sits well, alone? That crawling stuff is important for the reading stuff later on!!! So, more de-tails, what color hair, eyes, any teeth? (my almost year old granddaughter has none!!!) En-joy those precious moments..also, his "weight" if they will let you know is helpful for boughten garments!

Hi, y'all. The computer line at work is finally working, so I eagerly checked your blog. I'm excited that things are going so well and impressed that you'll also be volunteering while there.
I know you can't wait to get him out of his swaddling so he won't shvitz so much!
Wishing you all the best,
Karen Weinrib in B'ham
Sounds like things are going great. Length is good weight will help too. So is there a chance of a second? I would keep trying the belly thing if they let you. Does he roll over? some start rolling then crawling. we want details I shared the blog address with Didgette have fun and enjoy your bonding time
