We're all enjoying CJ !!

We have now had Colby for 3 days! The first day we got him, he was just quiet and watching everything and everyone with his big, beautiful brown eyes. He was soaking it all in. He did not cry at all (except for one time when he ran into the coffee table and got hurt). We were amazed at how "laid back" he was. Nothing fazed him - He was cool as a cucumber. Over these last 2 days, we have seen him come out of his shell and act more typical of a little boy his age! He is very active, loves to run, play, throws his food on the floor when he is done eating, bangs on the walls with his toys, is fussy when he is getting tired and wants to be held (usually by Madison -- her arms have become very sore!).

HE IS SO MUCH FUN AND HAS A CUTE PERSONALITY!! He loves to put on Madison's shoes and walk around the room. He also likes to put on Zack's shorts - We have to hold them up for him to walk around. He constantly flashes us with a smile - Madison stated that Colby was going to have a lot of wrinkles when he's older from smiling so much! The first and only English word that he has learned so far is "Ball". Yes, Zack taught him that one and they play several times each day with the beach ball that Amy gave us to bring on the trip! Thanks Amy, it is a big hit! Zack says that he can already tell that CJ has a good arm and that he has the potential to be a good baseball player!

We all love him very much!! He is a joy and we have no doubt that God intended for him to be a part of our family.
