I love you

Man, we have had some great days around here.  Yesterday, we had ZERO time outs.  Today, we only had ONE.  It's quite amazing how well he is able to calm himself down now when he gets upset.  

BUT - here's the big new for today.  We think (although it cannot be 100% confirmed) that Zac spontaneously told Katie, "I love mama".  Obviously, this is every parents dream.  I'm just amazed that we're hearing this so fast.  I can't begin to covey how well the attachment is going.  We now rock him to bed every night and he loves it.  I think this alone has made a big difference.  

It's worth mentioning that we finally had his International Adoption Specialist Doctor appointment yesterday.  In short, he is fine.  Hearing:  Fine.  Development:  Fine.  Health:  Fine.  There were a few minor things, but no need to go into details.

Here's some pictures from our day trip last weekend to Mahoney State Park.

Sounds like you all are doing well. Zac looks so happy and like he's adjusting well to being part of a family.

We also rocked Dmitry to sleep for his naps and bedtime and we too feel that it was signifigant in how well his bonding progressed.
