First Steps

We had our AIT appointment yesterday. Everything went great. There was no reason to be nervous, but it really was the last step before we come home - so we were tense. We were there for about 2 hours total. Zane was so happy there. He just laughed and smiled. He was waving to everybody. It was so nice to see him happy.

After AIT, we went to lunch with Steve, Judy, Judy's Mom, and their son Eric. Eric was in the orphanage with Zane. It was so good to finally meet Judy. She has been a lifesaver through this whole process. We went to a great vegetarian buffet. Anything you can imagine, they had to eat. Zane loved the rice cakes. Judy's mom was so helpful to tell me what to choose for Zane to eat. It was really great food.

While we were at the restaurant, Eric got down to walk around. Zane totally had to follow. It was his first steps that he has taken since we picked him up. Steve told me to run and video his first steps.



This is a picture of our hotel building. We just look for the big lady on the building. We have been very brave to explore all around our hotel. There as so many shops, restaurants, anything you can imagine. They definitely don't waste space. Under the streets are underground malls. It is a shoppers paradise.

SO happy for you all Zane is sure a daddy's boy. He is going to be chasing Jaedon and Mattie all around very soon. Congratulations on his first steps.
