Here's our son!!!

Today we spent a wonderful hour with our son and his equally wonderful foster mother (and the director of Holt-Korea who was also our translator). We are in love with him!!! Here are some photos of him and some of the things we learned:

• He truly is cute and active!! The video below shows how much he is of both! (We took lots of video, but most of it is too big to upload).
• He sleeps 9-10 hours/night (yea!)
• He loves to eat and isn't picky (yea again!)
• He absolutely loves baths and doesn't want to get out at the end.
• When we asked what his personality was like, the foster mom's first reaction was "has a short temper"! We're assuming the translation might not mean what we would say it means, since she also said that nothing frightens or really frustrates him and that he's an "easy going baby."
• He loves to be held and is almost always happy.
• The foster mom is Catholic and has taken him to church (but she also said she had to "wear him" since he's so active and moves around so much!)
• The foster mom gave us 40 photos of him during the past 7 months -- he was and is adorable!
• Today we met him during his nap time, though he was a trooper and gave us lots of smiles and let me (Jana) hold him. Tomorrow we'll get to spend time with him again at his final medical check up -- and Monday we'll get to hold him in our arms for good!
• We feel blessed beyond words, and we can't wait to get to know our son even more deeply in the coming days.
  

In other news, it is RAINING like crazy!!! We're smack dab in the middle of Korea's rainy/monsoon season, so we're not sure we'll even get a dry day! We had a fantastic authentic Korean lunch after we met with Tae, and tomorrow we'll go on a city tour including one of the royal palaces and several markets. We're making lists of what to buy to bring home for our little one!

Thanks for traveling with us to Korea to meet our son, too! We send our love!
