Brett adjusted well today. The highlights of his evening included having his footprint taken for our adoption paperwork, playing ball in the hallway with the other kids in our group, getting a bath, and Skyping with the grandparents and Uncle Scott and Aunt Melissa. (Sorry we woke you Melissa and Scott.) Brett is giving hugs, kisses, and saying quite a few English words. He seems to understand most of what we tell him between his English, our few Chinese phrases, and some sign language. We've learned he loves to look out windows, joke around, giggle, eat french fries, splash in the bath, suck his pointer finger during sleep, and just plain look cute!
We're adding a few more items for your viewing pleasure, but we are off to bed after one exciting day. Brett is peacefully sleeping as post this.
Good Night (Abigail, sorry we confused you about the night/day differences here.)

We loved waking up to Brett's happy face. You guys made a Monday a Perfect Day. I am head over heels for that little guy and can't wait to meet him in person. Skype is awesome - what a great way for Brett to gain familiarity while still having that special bonding time with his mama and baba. Hugs to all. Can't wait to Skype again. I'm thinking of ways to amuse Brett....
CONGRATULATIONS!! What a happy little guy Brett is! We've loved reading your updates (and cried about him crying in the car...) so many changes for all of you. The pictures and video are awesome...thank you so much for taking the time to upload those. It's almost like we're right there with you. Enjoy each little blessing...
It is so great to see all 3 of you so happy :).
I'm going to start practicing cooking french fries so I'll be ready when Brett comes to visit...or maybe we'll just let the experts do it (McDonalds).
Thanks for the updates, I'm glad to be part of your wonderful journey, even if it is just vicariously.
Can't wait to meet Brett on the 11th.
Love all the new pictures and the update...congrats again!
I just love seeing Brett's beautiful smile! Doris

You are certainly blessed!

You guys look great, so comfortable with each other! Looks like Brett's half Americanized already, with his love of french fries. What a hoot! What's Henan like?

Can't wait until we are in your shoes! God bless!! <><
