Sorry the blog posts have dropped off since we got home but as you can guess, Liam has been keeping us both very busy. He is doing so well adjusting to his new world and we are growing closer as a family day by day. The past two days he has been very affectionate and giving lots of hugs and kisses to us. I would like to take that as a sign that he is growing more fond of us.

A few things have changed with him since we got home. For starters, he no longer likes Cheerios. I guess he got burned out on them on the flight home. As of today, he drinks milk. We tried giving him milk in Moscow and right after we got home and he wouldn’t have anything to do with it but today all of sudden he likes it. Green peas are also off the food list; he will roll them around on the table and then squish them but they are not going in his mouth.

Fortunately, the one thing that hasn’t changed since we have been home is his sleeping habits. He still sleeps about 10 hours at night and takes about a 2 to 3 hour nap in the afternoon. There for a while the afternoon naps were only about 30 minutes but once we hung up heavier curtains in his room, the naps improved.

Our friends Brad & Marsha came over tonight with their 2 sons to play with Liam. Their son Sasha has been wanting to play with him ever since we got home. Sasha is 3 years older than him so I wasn't sure how they would do together but they all seemed to have fun playing together tonight and of course Liam had tears when they had to leave. Here’s a picture of the 3 of them having fun together:
