Sorry to disappoint you all, but the highlight of our day was finding good looking produce at the market. Oh, and the other day we found Heinz 57 ketchup! I made oven roasted potatoes and they were really yummy. Seriously though, we were really tired of canned peaches and pineapple. We bought potatoes, bananas, and oranges.
Our time with Quinton was enjoyable as always, but it is getting harder and harder to keep him entertained with the same toys and in the same place for 4 hours a day. He is such a good baby. He is very content to just sit in our laps and clap hands or shake a rattle, but whenever he is not actively engaged, he resorts back to hitting himself in the face and other self stimulatory behaviors and I just hate that for him. He does that enough when we are not around.
We did get to skype with Brian's family today. We were mid conversation when Quinton decided to projectile spit up everywhere. Is it normal for spit up to smell like cheese? It was so nasty. I thought Brian was going to barf since he took the brunt of this one, but he didn't. He just gagged and moved on LOL. Oh well. The joys of being parents ;) Fortunately he was wearing shorts and the spit up just got on his leg and not his clothes.
So that's about it for today. Tomorrow should be more interesting. We are going out with Rita again and she is going to help us find out about Quinton's schedule and eating habits and what not. So, hopefully tomorrow we should have some good fellowship, a break from the normal routine, and some helpful information about Quinton.
Here are some pictures from today:
Today was our last Thursday at the orphanage! Our 10 day wait is up on Saturday and gotcha day is in 5 days on Tuesday! The end is in sight!
Bonus:
Here is a video from yesterday.
Somebody found his voice!
That would be hard entertaining a baby for 4 hrs! And, yes, spit up usually smells like cheese...feta cheese to me! The first time I smelled feta cheese, I thought of when my girls had spit up or thrown up a milk product...good thing it tastes good in food! Can't wait for Gotcha Day!! :D

he is so scrummy. cant wait for gotcha day and you all to be home xxxx
ReplyDeleteHe is really a sweetie and a very lucky little boy! It is sooo obvious that you and Brian love him dearly. Can't wait until you break him out and you're all safely home. Please keep all of us bloggy friends informed after you get home. I read different adoption blogs daily (love em) and pray for many families and after they get home I'm sure everyone gets busy learning new routines but the blogs seem to stop. I enjoy following these precious lives even after they are home safe and sound! Thanks and good luck!
