It has been 10 days that you have been home now and it has been great. You had your first Doctor appointment Monday, May 25th and the doctor was amazed of how well you are doing, she was very impress! We will be going back in two weeks for your shoots and we will see after that.
You are still on formula and cereal for now, but she will tell me when you can start eating solid food ;o) - then I will ask Mamie Nicole to make food for you as she is a great cook!
You have been getting a lot of visitors especially Mamie Nicole, she comes almost everyday to see you. You are just so adorable that she doesn't want to miss a moment with you plus she is helping me a lot too!
Love you my little man from Vietnam!

What a long flight... but we are home....
Well after leaving Vietnam, we flew to Hong Kong, then Toronto them home. Alexandre you were great! You did not cry that much, only when you were tired or hungry, but we kept you busy, we walked a lot on the plane and sometimes you would take power naps. But again, you were great!
When we got to the airport in Montreal, there was so many people to great you!! We had: your aunts; Nathalie, Sandra and France, your Uncles: Luc and Carl, your Grand-Parents, Mamie Nicole, Mamie Fernande, Grand-papa Guy and Grand papa René. Then you had your cousin Marc that had a stuff animal for you, and your new friends: Mark, Rob, Debbie, Cindy, Irene. What a great welcoming you had. Then we all went home for bagels, fresh fruits and of course we had wine to celebrate!! - Welcome home Alexandre!

Just a quick update ;o)
We are doing well. You were a bit agitated yesterday, but it is normal, you were having little panic attacks that is for sure. When I feed you, you are so happy, especially when you see your bottle or your cereal, but I need to feed you fast as you panics, I guess you are scared that I will take your food away, but I promise you I won't ;o) - we have a whole life time together!
It is hot and muggy here, but really, we are doing fine. We have a small routine in the morning and if we stick to it, it will help us during the day. Alexandre, you are just a happy child and loves to be in our arms.
By the way, you wears size 9 /12 months so I am glad with what I brought, as I had the right size for you!

Hi,
Oh boy... this is so much fun LOL - LOL- we are all doing fine!! We have been running around for the past few days that I have no clue what time / day it is... honest LOL, but I just know that I love being a mom and especially your mom!
The Ceremony was fast and great, but Alexandre, for me the ceremony was just to sign documents, I felt that I was your mom the moment I picked you up at the orphanage.
You are doing great by the way, it is just real hard to keep a shedual right now as we have not stopped... It is just wonderful!
Alexandre, you were never alone when we went to pick you up as there were 4 families adopting at the same time, so we are all helping each other out. It is great. Katherine is the oldest she is 2 years old and is very scared, but she is coming around and it is great to see, then you have Tia, she is close to 2 but is a little handicap, not to sure if she will walk 100% but she is an angel, she doesn't smile just yet but we are working on it. Her father Claude is going great as he came alone to pick her up as his wife stayed home with there 2 other children. Then you have Sue, single mom, she and I are just having a blast as her daughter is the one that you were posing with on the last set of pictures we received, she is the same age as you and comes from the same orphanage, so it is great that you had a little play mate ;o)
Alexandre you are doing great, you do have a character just like his me! which is funny, you do smile a lot, you are eating very well, you love to take your bath and love the pool too. I have to admit I cry each day for 30 seconds... lol
I am getting a bit home sick and can't wait to leave... I just can't wait for everyone to meet my you as you are my little Man - Nam from Vietnam!!

Hi Alexandre,
We have you now!
Wow, what a feeling...
The "Bus" ride was about 3 hours to go and get you as you were in Vaug Tau and we were staying in HMCM, but let me tell you, once you were in our arms, it was like time was never a factor! You were so happy, you came to us right away, with a big smile as I was crying so much and so was your Dad. On the way back to the hotel, your home for 3 weeks, you slept in my arms to whole time. You were just amazing.
When we got home we did a small treatment for your skin, which did not seem to bother you at all and next thing I knew you feel asleep in his fathers arms, it was so amazing to see.
Your crib was in the master bedroom, next to me, I had your milk ready in case you would wake up. The Nounou gave us your shedual, it looks like you were an easy baby but the Nounou did tell us that you has a character - LOL great just like his me, LOL.
What an emotional day Alexandre.. I was still crying when I went to bed as we are now a family. I just love you
