December 26, 2012 -- Celebrating Christmas with our "Taiwan Family"

Today we celebrated Christmas with our Taiwan family (Ted, Bev, Kelsey, Misti, Anna, and the 2 Chinese Nannies).  Luckily mom brought over some Christmas gifts as I did not come prepared to be here at Christmas time. :)  We had an "American style" lunch and then opened gifts. I am not sure how we are going to get everything home!!!  Below is a pic of the things I got from everyone!  
Grayson is 15.9 pounds now and is 25.9 inches long! He has gained a little over a pound since last month :)  He is still very skinny and long though!  He is starting to do so many things now! He is "scooting" on his tummy --mostly in cirlces.  He likes to stick his tongue out and say "Baba" which is actually "dad" in Chinese :)  He is doing better at sitting up.  He seems like he is growing up so fast.  Every day he does something new it seems!  
We are hoping to have good news this week -- please keep praying specifically for our 1st decree to come in :)  We are ready to be home with Daddy and our families!
