Gotcha Day!!

Gotchas Day went by so fast, we didn't get any video of him entering the room or the hand-off. Mostly because they told us they were going to be late getting in from the orphanage, then they just walked into the room. There really wasn't a hand-off, since Jacob came into the room and came right over to us when he saw us.

He kept wanting to go with his caretaker, which is understandable,m since she's been a constant in his life, but he seemed to adjust pretty well that day once we left.

He spins around like the second hand on a clock when he sleeps. He slept with us the first night, but we put him in the crib once he fell asleep last night. That was my first night's sleep since we got here. I really needed it; I was exhausted.

He wants mommy all the time. Always up, always mommy. We're calling him Xinxin right now (pronounced Zhen Zhen), so we don't confuse him. We're slowly atarting to work some English in, but we want to take it slow on the trip.

He's absolutely adorable, and I love him more than I can say.

He's obviously starting to feel more comfortable with us, since he's starting to misbehave. All expected; no surprises so far.

More later, as time - and Jacob - permit.
