My apologies to everyone !! We have been so busy with life , that I have'nt had time to blog, and every time I find I can do it, I either forget the digital camera cord or the battery on the laptop is dead. So so sorry, it has taken me forever to update you guys.
I like to think of you all as my blog obsessives, he he he.... Know that I love you guys and love the comments, its great.
Well we are home and getting acclimated to a routine and our home. Eli is doing really well, he loves for me to hold him just all the time, and I understand that this is good and it promotes the healing with regards to bonding and attachment. My arm, however, is about to drop off, but I have noticed that I am a lot stronger on the left side because of this.
Today we hung up a baby swing on the porch for him and he just loves it. I think it might be the first time he has ever swung on a swing.
For all of you in the process , take it from me , that one of the best things that I got in China for myself, ended up being an absolute delight for Eli. Our driver and guide in Beijing bought Hamid and I a Chinese music CD that we heard on their cell phone ringer and on the car radio. I fell in love with it and played it on our lap top in the hotel often. When we got back home to the US, I put the CD in the car to hear it and I got such a surprise out of Eli! He stopped sucking that one finger of his and he perked up and dazed a glance at me then started laughing and clapping his hands. After a while he would look out of the window and start clapping and laughing, while the music played. Hamid and I have two differing views on this. Hamid thinks that he recognizes the words in the song, I however think that he recognises the music from the hotel and it gives him a sense of familiarity. For whatever the reason, I highly advise you all to buy at least one Chinese music CD for your baby to enjoy. Eli perks up and laughs and just has a ball every time we take off for a ride in the car with his tunes that he loves. I need to get a video of him, he is so funny.
We are having a ball with little Eli ! I will keep updating sooner than later.
Bye for now,
Nour

Hey Nour! YAY! Thank you for updating your blog and for the awesome advice about the Chinese music. I love all the pics of little Eli..what a cutie! Maybe you can make our next Adoption Mommies Night Out with Eli in tow! Kim got us all excited that you might make a "guest appearance" at the restaurant!
So glad to see that everyone is doing great! Hey, how's he sleeping? Just curious!

Nour!
I missed your update!
I had to take a break from the computer for a while. Our travel approval has been delayed because we switched from non-special needs to special needs, and I was so depressed that I had to stop looking at anything adoption related for a time.
I'm so glad to see the pictures. He is beautiful! When will he have his surgery to close the palate?
