Hello everybody. Sorry for the lack of blog updates, but we still have no Internet in our apartment! They say it will be tomorrow, we sure hope so. We have lot's to report about our little guy. He got his first hiccups the other day. We get to feed him this warm 'fruit tea' during our time with him and he sucks it down so fast he got the hiccups. So cute! Let's see, we also were not sure if he could crawl or not, but yesterday he started out on his knees, rocking back and forth and then zoom, he was off! Now he crawls all over the place. (I think he was waiting a week to show us his real 'skills') He is also pulling himself up. He also discovered the mirror last week! First, he smiles shyly back at himself, next he is squealing like crazy, flapping his arms up and down in excitement!! Mom & Dad get a huge laugh out of it. We got it on film at least once. I think he already knows what a handsome little guy he is. We also had a mystery diaper incident......we smelled something strange so we laid him down to change his diaper. Meanwhile, he is kicking his legs like crazy, happy for the cool air on him as they wrap them up with so many layers of clothes! Well, at this point we are a little nervous, I must admit, I have changed maybe three dirty diapers in my life, and Tim only one........moment of truth........we open up the diaper, and nothing was in there! This of course made Baby A laugh and giggle as he knew all along he fooled us. Just gas, I guess! What a trickster.
Today is a warm day in Kaz, -30c degrees! Oh yes, it's true. Our faces feel like icicles are forming if you stay outside too long. We get by though. This weekend we had Aaron and Stephanie over on Sunday for dinner and to watch Spiderman 3. We had a nice time and also got to discuss the upcoming process with them as they are almost through and should be leaving at the end of the week. On Sunday you don't visit the baby house. We are still a bit homesick, but we are catching up on our sleep. If you count going to bed at 6pm and waking up at 2:00am every night and then getting up to watch TV or movies. We also had one last lunch with our friends Aaron Stephanie and their new son Ayan. (photo of the Hamilton's above) They are heading to Almaty and then home. We ate these meat potstickers at a chinese resteraunt that Tim and I walked too. (actually I popped the meat out and gave to Tim to eat) We wish you guys all the luck in your future!

Tim, Jen and Baby A,
Our open arms await all THREE of you to return HOME. We are all praying for you, and there are many!
Lovingly,
Mom
Tim & Jen,
We busted Ayan out of the baby house this morning! We had a bit of a delay in the process yesterday, but nothing that will slow our return date...it just kept Ayan there an extra day. Anyways, we are having fun at the apartment, just the 3 of us! It's crazy really. He's doing well, we've eaten, played, and took a nap.
Can't wait to hang out again this week sometime - give us a call!
The Hamiltons
Brr that is cold! Thanks for sharing!
