Things are going great here in China. Guy is eating nonstop and is getting stronger each day. He has gained a pound (or more?) this week. At the physical this morning he weighed 14.8 lbs! He now has some chub on his thighs and is starting to get a rear end (a tiny one, but it is no longer skin and bone). He loves to roll around and giggle, especially at Daddy.
Nights aren't so great but we have learned to change his diaper and feed him a couple of times during the night, like a newborn, and that seems to work. Different from Gemma in that way, but we think eating round the clock will help him gain weight faster and help with attachment. We're going to move his crib to our room for awhile when we get home. He really is as cute as can be and has made great strides in 8 days. Can't wait until we are home with his big sister. She is so mature--on Skype she tells us, "don't worry, Mommy and Daddy. You don't need to worry about me. And she always tells us the number of days until our return--most recently, "only 3 more days Mommy and Daddy!" we miss her so! Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa for taking such good care of her and saving her from that snake!
We'll post lots more pictures in a few days when we are home.
Love, Stacy, Jon, and Guy
I <3 Guy.

My Hannah (who I got when you got Gemma) was this small and needed feeding around the clock like a newborn for 2+ weeks. Her physical progress was amazing and she changed completely that first year. I hope Guy has the same success. Donna
