My name is Valeri . This blog is devoted to our daily lives as adoptive parents to our son. Our blog details our ups and downs in our crazy adoption process as well as our daily adventures as first time parents. We received Jensen on May 21, 2007 and our lives couldn't be any sweeter!!!!!!

Our Nosey Little Guy

We are cracking up over Jensen's curiosity. He loves to watch people. When a new person enters a room or if he hears a noise his head automatically goes to where that sound is. His looks are priceless. He is really curious about everything that is going on around him. That's a good sign hopefully!!!
Jensen doesn't talk. He makes some sounds when he sleeps, but very rarely makes any sounds while he's awake with us. He's still scared of us we believe. However, he is gaining trust in us little by little. He lets us feed him, dress him, bath him, change his diapers, etc without any fuss. he sleeps so well, too. I'm jealous that he sleeps better than I can!!
We found something to entertain Jensen while we are here. The White Swan Hotel has a playroom for families with children. Anyone who stays at the White Swan is entitled to use this room. We took Jensen there for the first time today. We think he enjoyed himself. He got to play with a big truck and he was a happy camper. Well, at least we think he was happy. Our little man is still so serious. We wish he'd crack a smile or laugh. At least I can think of the positive things, like he's eating very well. He still hasn't pooped for us, though. If he doesn't poop by tomorrow we're going to take him to the clinic here at the hotel.
Tomorrow we're going on a tour of a temple which should be nice to see. Also we're going to do some shopping at a mall.

Maybe he'll smile when he poops? ;-) Hope you can all stay cool and well today.

I'm sure he must be scared at the moment..its a huge change for him but as the days pass ..things will change.
Glad to hear he is eating better..thats a good sign.He sounds that he is interested in everything around him.Thats great.What are the shops like around your area? Have you eaten any more Cantonese food?
Every one is thinking about you and your family...lots of hugs coming your way and we can't wait to see more photos.Lots of love.

I read somewhere to sit him on the toilet and a "mmm mmm" sound. Almost like giving him permission to go to the bathroom. Maybe that will help?

I love hearing about yours (and of course, Jensen's!) discoveries, everyday! Everyday is a new day... a new adventure!

I can just hear him when he's 14, "Aunt ____ said that you wrote on your blog that when we were in China I didn't poop! I am going to die of embarrassment!"
:D
I hope the little fellow get's regular soon! Val, how old is he? I forget.
Keep posting; this vicarious living is awesome!

The not pooping thing is pretty common. You guys are doing a great job with him and its wonderful that you are so understanding of all the adjustments he is having to make.
