Today we had our Giving and Receiving Ceremony which means that Zachary is officially ours. The adoption is final on the Vietnam side and now we wait for our U.S. Embassy appointments so we can bring him home. The ceremony was simple and sweet. We were in a room with all of the other families in our group. We each had to sign in a book and a few other documents. We had to promise to take good care of him and send reports back to Vietnam until he is 18 years old. As soon as it was official, Zachary projectile vomited all over Chad. It was priceless. Happy birthday to daddy!! Speaking of Chad's birthday, we got flowers in our room today from the staff of the hotel. So sweet.
Zachary continues to be a very chill baby. He slept well last night and takes many small cat naps throughout the day. We are still waiting for a poop. Not sure what to do about that :) He is full of smiles and really only cries when he is tired or hungry. I have to admit that his cry is the cutest I have ever heard and I often giggle when I hear it. Someone from our agency brought us a walker and stroller today. So nice! He enjoys the walker and we have yet to try the stroller. I turned on the TV today and he couldn't take his eyes away from it. Chad made me turn it off. Now we know what we'll do when daddy's not home!
