Day 1 with Nathaniel

The boy we met yesterday is becoming more at ease. It has been a great day, despite not having our Giving & Receiving. We ate breakfast and then went to have passport pictures taken. It was at a professional studio. The TH 4 tolorated the experiencel. We came back to the room so Ms. Lam could try to schedule our G&R. Nate took a bottle and a 2.5 hour nap. John went out to the market beside us and did some shopping.

Nate woke from his nap happy and more relaxed. He is full of smiles and giggles. At breakfast and lunch, he sat and let us feed him. However, this evening he was all arms. Reaching for this and pulling at that. He loved the chicken and corn soup with rice. He also enjoyed eggs at breakfast (so did Momma).



We hung out in the hotel waiting for word on our G&R. It is scheduled for late tomorrow afternoon. It should take about an hour. We will then head back to Hanoi. The condition of the flooding will determine how long it takes. It has rained more today. Regardless, it will be a late evening and a hard trip for the babies.

Nate came to life this afternoon. Check out the short video and see his personality come to life.
