I love the pictures. I'm so happy for you guys, I could cry. And once he gets settled into his new life, he'll sleep just fine. And I could tell he was a 'healthy' eater by those chunky cheeks. He's a cute lil' chunky monkey. :D Good luck getting some sleep!
Mary and James!! You have your son!! He is so beautiful. The pics at the airport were priceless. You all look so natural- like you just belong together. I love that he has bonded with you so quickly. I have thought of you so often and am sooo happy for you both. Can't wait to hear every detail and see lots more pictures of his preciousness!!
