We've been home for a little over a week and Jason Pin-Hao is doing marvelously! He loves to be held by and plays with each member of the family. He has a great little sense of humor, too. We have had lots of chances for him to get to meet new people this week with church events and get-togethers with friends. At first he seemed overwhelmed and a bit shy in a large group setting, but by the end of the weekend I think he's become more comfortable in a sea of new faces.
We are still tackling the sleeping arrangement. It isn't that he won't sleep at night, but that he wants to sleep all night on me! I am very thankful that we have bonded so well, and that he loves to snuggle, but in the middle of the night when his arms and legs are still around me, he becomes a bit heavy. Then, of course, when I try to move him off of me, or to the side, he wakes up and cries. I think it will just be a matter of time for him to adjust and to know that I'll still be there when he wakes up, even if I'm not holding him.
Otherwise things are going better than I could have ever imagined. He is such a joy, a ray of sunshine, and a true blessing to our family!

I am so happy to hear that he is doing well at home! It is so sweet when they fall asleep on you, but definitely not the most comfortable way to spend the night. I am sure it will just be a matter of time till everything fits into place.
