Alton Joseph

Some details from our presentation day and some information about our sweet baby boy. We went to the orphanage directors house to recieve Alton. Very different than it was with Athena when we went to the actual orphanage. We could hear him giggling upstairs with his caregiver while we were going through the paperwork part of the process downstairs. When they finally brought him down he came right to us and even had smiles for us right away. They said he likes bright colors and he proved that to be very accurate when he continually tried to grab the pink flower on Athena's jacket:)




Alton currently weighs 19 lbs. 13 oz and already has 8 teeth! He eats like a champ! He has 3 bottles and 3 meals a day so far. His first night with us he fell asleep during his bedtime bottle at 9:00 and slept until 5:30 this morning.

Athena is doing great being a big sister:) She is excited and is constantly kissing him and helping. We did have a few tears last night when she couldn't have mommy's attention while I was giving him his bedtime bottle, but overall she is doing awesome!! We're so proud of her:)









Napping angels:)
