We got a wonderful surprise yesterday, more photos! Yay! Most of them are old, and taken when he was about 6-7 months old, but we don't care. It was SO nice of the orphanage to send them to us. I got about 10 in all, but I'm not going to post all of them here, so here are my favorites.
I mean the hats he gets to wear are just awesome. This picture was taken at the same time as the picture that was on his referral paperwork.
This is a recent photo! Look at that cubby dude! He is, once again, over stuffed with clothes, but I think there is a little chunkiness under those clothes.
Here is the first picture we have seen of Xander smiling! We now have quite a few pictures in the stylish mesh outfit.
And finally, the greatest surprise of all was a video! Here is our little man showing off his walking abilities. Enjoy!
That is so amazing!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't technology the GREATEST? Yes, he is certainly chubs...but why the 90 layers of clothing, is it freezing there or what (I am out of it weather and China-wise)?!
ReplyDeleteSarah, the Chinese are known for over clothing their children. It may be cold there, as it is winter just like here, but probably not as much as he is dressed for. In the background you'll notice a man in blue jeans and a long sleeved shirt. It's obviously not sub zero, like he is dressed for! I've heard stories from other adoptive parents that while in China you may get scolded by the locals if your kids isn't wearing enough clothes. :)
