Austin's 4th day

We are at Highland coffee again...small things from home sure make a difference. We are still in awe of the culture here. Went to a great restaurant...chic. Had PIZZA..not exactly like home, but close enough. Austin seemed to really like it. He had his first sweet yesterday. Black Forrest and cheese cake, both of which he seemed to like. For the first time at breakfast he ate a 'normal' portion. He even turned down bites, which is great. The first couple of days he ate like a horse. He still likes to drink a lot. We bought him his own water bottle and he now thinks he is the coolest!

He did his Scooby Doo thing this morning and had us in tears from laughing. He is truly a funny kid. He is so smart. He observes everything and can mimic us in almost everything. And independent! Wow. He wants to snap his own pants and pull-up the zipper. He loves putting on his own shoes...really seems to like the shoes. We brought him a bowl and spoon and he is remarkable in being able to use the spoon so well. We don't think he had this opportunity at the orphanage. He is playing wiht his Daddy and I can hear him giggling. The sweetest sound.


Did I say, he called us Mom and Daddy yesterday at the elevator door? Will write more later.....love you all!
