e gave him a bath and he LOVED it. After his tubby we rubbed lotion all over him and he played with a little toy and began to coo and really come alive a little bit. He even smiled a few times. What a great day and what an easy baby. I cannot get over how chubby he is. The sister asked us to return around 5:30 so that they could get him settled back in before their time of prayer, but Brock and I decided to tell them that since we had such a successful day of bonding with him we would feel more comfortable keeping him with us so that he does not get exposed to any sickness. We are praying that they don't have a problem with that. He is beautiful as everyone has said. So far he doesnt smile easily but when he does it's adorable. Take care...I'm sure you'll be hearing from me soon. Oh...by the way when we got to London I got an email from Peter saying that he went back AGAIN to the immigration office and this time they let him submit the paperwork!!!!! Praise God. We head tomorrow morning to all the different offices to get all paperwork completed.

Day 2 with JP!
Hello all...it is about 1:00pm here in Rwanda and we went this morning to the orphanage to spend some time with JP. We waited about 10 minutes and finally the guard went to go find a nun. Within minutes a nun came up the stairs with JP. She handed him to me and he didn't cry!!! We decided to take him back to Rich and Robin's house because apparently a bunch aof the babies are sick and we didn't want him getting sick. He snuggled me the entire ride back to the house. We fed him a bottle and he inhaled it in about a minute...seriously!!! He continued to snuggle for quite a while on the couch and he seemed tired so we tried to put him to bed but he wanted no part of that. I wanted to change his clothes as they seemed too small for him and they were flowery girls pants and a yellow flowered shirt with a girly collar. =) So he cried a little while I changed his clothes and put on a disposble diaper. We were able to distract him with some toys for a while. He seemed to be itchy so w
e gave him a bath and he LOVED it. After his tubby we rubbed lotion all over him and he played with a little toy and began to coo and really come alive a little bit. He even smiled a few times. What a great day and what an easy baby. I cannot get over how chubby he is.
