We Have Ike!



No buddy took him from me! I know that is a weird thing to write, but I have been worried about for nearing 6 months!
(Here we are with Dr. Kim and Ike's wonderful foster mom)

The flight home was long, but short and, thankfully, over. He did so unbelievably great. He was handed to us in the van to go the airport in Seoul and he did great. He did great in the airport. And btw, we can not say enough about how wonderful Korean Air was to us!

In the plane, he did great. He loved to sleep on Luke's lap. He didn't sleep very much, and when he did he would wake up really confused and disoriented.

On the way to Seoul we watched movies, listened to music, talked, etc. On the way back we did non of those things. We just played with Ike and tried to make him feel comfortable.

(Here we are sliding in the Seoul airport)

We had a huge welcoming party back in OKC. Most of our family came and some of our friends. It was nice. Ike did well. It was scary for everyone with all the flashes.

Last night Ike didn't sleep very much, neither did we. He didn't sleep very much today either. He mainly eats, plays, and pees. He pees all the time, but I think it is because on the plane we kept giving him bottles so he wouldn't get dehydrated.

He is the best one. He is such a joy and so happy. He LOVES tv. And Music. He also likes to throw things on the ground. He has learned several words and likes to play his piano.

I'll write more later when I'm not on baby duty. He is a lot to keep up with. :)

I love you so much!. I too was worried he would not get on the plane with you guys to go home. that something would happen before you left the airport to come home or on the way home. I cheered when he was in LA and e-mailed my work..who emailed every one else at work. My class cheered! They have watched the airport pics on the big screen! Love, Momma
