We got the FedEx Package!

It was torturous to wait until I met Matt for lunch to open the FedEx package. Inside were several documents we need to sign and return to Great Wall by Wednesday. There were also a bunch of papers that have Chinese characters we can't read. Here's a picture of the most important of the documents, the paper that states we accept our little boy.







He is some more information on our Melonhead: (from 5/24/2007)

weight 14.5 lbs length 26 inches
Motor Development: Hold head up while lying on stomach; grasps toys near head; pinches thumb and index finger together
Adaptability: Locates the direction of sound; visually follows moving toys; looks for dropped toys; reaches and grasps for toys
Language: Follows you while moving head from one side to the other; laughs aloud; distinguishes between acquaintance and strangers; sounds directed at someone or something; knows name and turns when called; responds to facial expressions of adults
Personality: Active; restless; fond of listening to music; fond of playing with toys; having a ready smile; fond of playing games; obstinate sometimes and impatient sometimes (These are the two qualities Matt and I are most worried about.)

The next step is tomorrow morning when Matt gets home we'll finish signing all the papers and send them next day delivery to Great Wall. Then we'll have to wait for our Travel Approval which will come sometime in the next 2-3 weeks. That will give us the exact date we will leave for China.
