Close to the big "Bye Bye"

We always entertain Wei-J while his mommy updates her blogs. Last time, Shu Shu decided it was time for him to take a shower, so Ay-i had to think fast to keep the little guy entertained. What better than Shu Shu's shirt? Probably a litttle sweaty, but look how cute! He giggled until his arms were covered. He hates that. So I showed him his hands, and all was well.

This is what we see when we hear that familiar knock on our door. I sat thinking about the hotel in Beijing, it seems so long ago. Our trip is quickly coming to an end. This has been an amazing and truly life changing journey. I admit - I am sad that we won't be seing this friendly face at our door everyday.


If you don't know by now, he is one healthy and not-so little guy. When S-I-I received his first info packet, he was only in the 3% in weight on the Chinese growth chart, (not even close to the American chart.) We prepared for him to be a super tiny little guy who would need lots of hearty foods to beef him up. Not so -In this short amount of time, he has really sprouted up! He now stands in the 90% bracket for height and 75% for weight. So healthy and happy... and maybe even intelligent enough to manipulate his Ay-i and Shu Shu. (Never, we would never cave in to the sweet and tender smiles and cry of our ONLY nephew... never). ; )

I just wanted to stop by and say how nice it was to get to meet you today in SFO. I still can't get over your hubby being all grown up, I still remember him as the annoying little brother!! I'm terribly jealous that you get to be so close to Baby J, he's a cutie patootie!
