The New Sam Video
Cara and Inna are impressed that Abbie has matching slippers on to her outfit. LOL. See I told you I took her out of bed.
We sit down and Inna rewinds the video, and it rewinds and rewinds and rewinds. All the while making squeaks and sqeals. Finally get it all the way back. Inna presses play. A child comes up on screen, but I am waiting for it to cut to Sam. Then I realize Inna is watching my face. Whoa!!! THAT'S SAM!!!
Now please realize the last video was of him at 3 months. Now he is over 10 months. But he is not the way we expected him to look. We thought he would look more like Abbie (dark). He is very pale (altho has probably never seen the sun) and has light brown reddish hair. His dark eyes are huge. He is much more eurasian than Kazakh. It's fine with us, but just not what we had expected. From the 3 month video he looked more Asian to us, but not this video. LOL
He was playing and very alert to his surroundings.
They have him a toy that he tried to beat into submission. Only one grunt from him and no smiling-altho there is a small quick grin if you are looking for it. But his eyes are very alert and taking everything in. Tammy says he will love watching the "Abbie show" when he finally gets home.
The video is a little over 2 minutes long. Cara shows me some photos of little boys that she thinks Sam will look like. I tell Todd we need to get home and get the mail because the INS approval is coming today. And believe it or not, it realy did come that day in the mail.
We came home and Abbie fell sound asleep in the car (poor little thing, so abused :-) Todd and I watched the video a few more dozen times. I took photos with the digital camera while it was playing on the TV so I could post them.
Then I had to let everyone know. LOL.
What a great day!
