June 27, 2010

We arrived out our hotel in Fuzhou around midday and were able to settle in and eat lunch before we got the call that Xander was here. We went upstairs to a conference room and met him for the first time right around 4 pm.


As expected he was upset when he was handed over to his Mama, but after about ten minutes in our room we had him go from crying to giggling (with the help of bubbles).


He loves to be held, and as a matter of fact we have not put him down yet. After about 2 hours we went for a walk along the lake, which is next to our hotel. He fell asleep in the baby carrier and Macey fell asleep in the stroller.


Macey was a great help right from the start. She played in the bubbles and entertained Xander and even tried to comfort him when he cried. We finally have internet access, even though it is not free. Hopefully we will be able to post a little more often.
