We had our first 2 visits with Bryce today. Our first visit was from 9-10 this morning. We have to take diapers and a change of clothes with us each day so, as soon as we got to the Baby House, we gave our diapers and clothes to Aliya. She then took them to Bryce's caregiver and they changed his diapers & clothes and brought him out to us. Wayne held him first this morning and since they don't see men in the baby house, he started to cry. So, I took him and calmed him down. Then it was on to play time. We spread out a blanket to play on and laid out all of his toys. He can sit up, can pick up his toys, and crawl. We had a fun time playing with him and by the end of our visit, we had him smiling and laughing.
Here are details about the little man: Born on May 25, 2006, he has 6 teeth, blond hair and the brightest blue eyes you have ever seen. As of the beginning of March, he weighed 19.7 pounds.
After our visit, Aliya took us to the Regional Historic Museum where we were able to learn about the history of Kazakhstan and the Kazak people. Afterwards, she took us to a neat bookstore where we were able to buy a book about Uralsk and then also children's books that are both in Russian and English.
Our afternoon visit was from 5-6. There were no tears this time so, we're already making progress. He loves to play with a little ball that grandma bought him and a Taggies blanket. There was another family in the room with us this afternoon so, he was very interested in what they were doing.
Some of you may wonder why we haven't posted any pics of Bryce yet. Well, as much as I would love to, we've decided to wait until we officially take custody of him after our court hearing. So, for now, you'll have to bear with us and enjoy our pictures of us sightseeing around Uralsk.
