Once again Max picked us up at 8:40am (promptly) for our ride to the Baby Home. Mommy went to get Sam, who shook his head "No", as if he didn't want to go with Mommy. She took him in her arms and went up stairs where his brief protest ended.
We mostly played with the pop-beads and stacking cups (which he was able to organize with Daddy's help), and of course Sam enjoyed his Cheerios and sippy cup of water. Around 11am, Sam began to get a little restless and started to throw the toys we had brought to the side, saying he didn't want to play with them anymore. This was a first for him. He also didn't want to simply sit in our laps today. He wanted to be held in our arms as we were walking. When Daddy sat down with Sam on his shoulder, Sam quickly started to wiggle his way down and walk away, until one of us picked him up again.
Teething is definitely an issue. Everything is going into his mouth. We think he has molars growing in so he is trying to put things on those areas. We bought a couple teething rings today (on our way back to the hotel), so we will use them tomorrow to help him.
Everyday is SO different. We had thought he would be progressing more in the comfort zone with us. The only difference is the shortness of the "crying" when we go and get him. Hopefully this will progress quicker once we have custody, and he begins to rely on us for everything, not just a couple hours of amusement.
We did spend a lot of time looking through the book today. Sam would point to a picture and we would say what it was. When he pointed to the dog, we would say "Dog" and "Woof". A couple time he would quietly say "Woof" too. We did "celebrate" this with him, but I don't think he understands yet.
Again, he seemed quiet and sleepy, but he didn't fall asleep for his 10am snooze.
