Settling In

This is the first post in what will be the ongoing blog for Evan. I'll try to post often as possible but no promises.

As you recall from my other blog, LA to Hanoi we arrived back in the U.S. on December 23.



Evan has adapted really well. He seems to like the new crib and, aside from two trying nights, has been sleeping all night with nothing more than a few brief cries. He also took well to American formula (Nestle Good Start), which was a relief since I know one of his peers from the same orphanage had a hard time finding something tolerable.

Evan stood on his own for 10 seconds about a week after coming home and now he can stand until he gets bored. Just the other day, he learned to push himself up to a stand, without support. He pushes backwards into a deep squat then stands up. He's also put together up to 5 steps in sequence, and he's getting good at his emergency landings, too. Wow!
