Tuesday 11Pm
Hi! Sorry we have not been able to post sooner. We have been so tired & had computer problems. I will start from today when we saw Scott! As you can see from the pictures he was not such a happy camper. We went to visit him at the Baby Hone at 3 pm which was right after his nap time. He definitely has developed stranger anxiety & did not remember us at all. He also seems to be getting sick or teething really bad. He cried a large part of the time or just studied what we were doing. One big difference was his hair.. it was almost Blond! It is either from being outside a lot or I think his real hair color is reddish. He is not walking yet but they say he is cruising. We did not get to see him do this today as all he wanted to do was be held or sit on our lap. THey brought in a snack for us to give him.. 3 tea biscuits/cookies & a glass cup full of some sort ofjuice or warm tea. Yes tea for a 14 month old. He was SOOOO thirsty & all he wanted was the tea. He could not hold the cup & a lot of the tea was dribbling down his shirt but he finished all of it. He ate 1/2 of the cookie but was choking on it most of the time. He has grown since April but no longer seems so big. I think he is 21 pounds now. We were able to ask the Baby Home director some questions we had & they were very open with answering. We spent about 2 hrs today with him today & will go back tomorrow again with another family who also has their son in the same baby home. We are very happy that we came to the region one day early to help with him adjusting to us
We have had some hiccups with the plane reservations getting back to Moscow... needless to say it was a 2 hr process & we almost could not get a flight. We are tired now & will not write all the details but for those fellow Adoptive parents who are flying soon to a region I would highly recommend making sure he get round trip tickets back to Moscow for any Aug flights as there are not many flights available. In the end we had to switch our flights to Sun & I have to fly by myself with Scott to Moscow & could not get him a seat. Ed is flying on a different airlines also on Sunday. It should be interesting! Right now we should still be home on Wed.
Please email or post comments. We should be online again sometime tomorrow.

Hi Ed and Cathy,
I am so glad you are safely in Russia and Scott is doing well. I am sure you are exhausted but are thrilled to be with your baby. Your flight back to Moscow sounds interesting! Hope everything goes well for you guys in court and on the flight. Scott looks good and I know in no time he will be bonding with you guys. He looks like Erik in the baseball cap! Talk to you guys soon. We are so happy for you two.
Fondly,
