Day 5 (Part II) More Pictures

As I write, it's about 7am on our last day here. Owen (and Laura) are still sleeping and we made it again through the evening and night OK. Owen got to sleep around 9pm and got up once in the night for a bottle, which he has each night and is normal for him according to his foster mother. Once he can eat more during the day (ie more solids), we are hopeful that he makes it through the night. He seems to have taken to us and generally has a very good disposition. That may change a bit on a 13 hour plane ride, but my disposition isn't great after that either, so you can hardly blame him.

We got to give Owen his first bath with us and he did not fuss a bit. Eating has gone well also for the most part, and he makes some great cooing sounds. He sits up easily and pulls himself up to a wobbly stand. His legs seem quite strong, and he has a death grip when he wants to hang onto something. He likes to nod off in the baby carrier when walking and we have heard that he likes to sleep in the car, which is something new to us since the girls never really have.

Korea has been such an adventure for us and we will miss it. At the same time, we miss our girls, and of course all of you. For trips, it is always good to go, and always good to come back. The Korean people have made our stay something special and we will relish the chance to get to come back here someday.

I thought I would just put some more pictures up since I am not sure if I will get to post again before our flight leaves. We head to the airport this afternoon and our flight leaves at 7:30 (Sat. night). What is strange is that we get in at 6pm Saturday night, which is "before" we will leave. We are hoping for as smooth a flight as possible and a chance to get back on a halfway normal sleep routine (yeah, right).
