We are finally back in the hotel room. It's almost 5:00pm. Yiyun and Dong Rui(Cathy's daughter) cried when they walked in the room, probably because of our excitement. But, it didn't last long and we took them into our arms with the help of cheerios. After some paperwork and information gathering at the orphanage we were driven to the street where Yiyun was found as a baby. Although we didn't know the intersection, the street was a busy street with a lot of nice shops. After a short stop at the hotel for a quick diaper change we headed out for a late lunch. Jack Yiyun proved that he has a healthy appetite. We fed him of noodles, rice, pork, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, chicken, cabbage and bread. The restaurant was empty, but we did have an audience; the entire wait staff sat a few tables away and watched us all very closely.
More about Yiyun. First of all, he has not let us put him down. He's happy being held by both of us. He wraps his body around us and holds on tight when we carry him. He has looked through photo albums and pointed at the puppies(Max and Daisy). We were told at the orphanage that he was very active and talkative, but he hasn't shown that side to us yet. He's still taking us and his new surroundings all in. He just fell asleep in Carol's arms, so we are going to try putting him in crib here in the room. Well, that didn't work. He's wide awake once again. We can't let him go. We'll go for now. More later.

Wow, guys! What a day, huh? I'm so thrilled to hear that, so far, he's taken to the both of you but I also realize that the next few days will be key. Hold him and love him and let him know he's safe with you two and you can't go wrong. We're all so thrilled that this day is here and that we're getting to share this with you. Thank you and great job, mom and dad! We love you all so much :o)
Love the pictures!!! Keep posting more when you can. Don't worry - when Nathan falls asleep when I am holding him - he sometimes wakes up too when I try to put him in his crib........

EO and I are so thrilled for both of you! What lovely smiles from all 3 of you. I love Chris's write-up of the first day... xoxoxo cmr
Congratulations, Carol and Chris!!! Wonderful to see you both with Yiyun... he will go to sleep eventually - he just wants to make sure he isn't dreaming that you are there, so he keeps himself awake to make sure. Enjoy the snuggling. We are all so happy for you!
