After a trip that lasted 32 hours (including layovers) we are finally home. Still trying to catch up on sleep. I (cindi) slept for 12 hours straight, but it sure felt good. We had such a wonderful trip. China is going to be something we will never forget. I still laugh when I think of David and all the local Chinese people. He can talk to anyone, I've never seen anything like it. For a lot of people, being in a strange place where no one speaks your language, can be pretty taxing. Not for David. Everywhere we went, we had lots of fun. And we will have so many great memories. Davis did so well on the plane rides. He is such a little trooper. The only time he cried was when he had to be changed (diaper) in the airplane bathroom. It is so cramped in those things. The changing table was so small and he didn't like his face being so close to the wall. I think he thought he was going to fall off. Once we came out he was fine. The stewardesses thought he was such a good baby for such a long flight that they gave him his first wings and a first flight certificate. That was so nice of them. I hope all his flights from here on will be that good. We had the important "Brown Envelope" that we were given at the swearing in of his adoption in China. Once you enter through immagration in the U.S. you hand this envelope over to them and they open it, go through the papers and stamp the Chinese visa and right then and there Davis became a U.S. citizen at the Minnieapolis airport. He had no idea what a big deal that was.
So far he does call us Mama and BaBa. BaBa in Chinese means Daddy. He can't quite get the daddy word so it's BaBa for now. And how he loves his BaBa. We can tell the bonding is going very well.
Check back this weekend and we will have more pictures to share. Right now sleep is calling once again.
Cindi, David and Davis
