Such a wonderful little boy...so full of energy, giggles & smiles. By the 3 day of our visits with him, his little face would just light up into the biggest smile as soon as he saw us there waiting for him. And when you tickle him, he just laughs and laughs and puts his face right up to my face and snuggles. I can't believe that we will be traveling back over to Russia in less than a month and he will officially be our son. Our son that we have been waiting so long for...our son that we have been dreaming of...our son to make our family complete...

He has the biggest blue-green eyes...and the blondest hair that sticks straight up on his head. (I am going to spike it up once in awhile, I won't be able to resist). When he starts to smile, you see it in his eyes first as they have a little twinkle in them and then his mouth follows behind and you see his 6 little teeth.

And boy, what a grip our son has...just try taking the toy back from him that he stole from another little boy. No way is he letting go. "Strong like bull" as Andrew would say.

I can't wait to dress him in the cute outfits we have bought for him and get him out of all of those layers they dress him in. When he comes into the room, he is bundled up from head to toe and is usually wearing a pink jacket and pink sweater pants...I will not take pictures of him wearing that :)

I am really babbling...I just can't stop thinking about our son and that he will be home with us in the states in a little over a month.

Roman...we miss you!!
