All About Food

Andres loves to EAT! We started feeding him mushed up bananas and he ate it all. Today, we fed him carrots for the first time, and he liked those as well. He definitely has a good appetite. I am having a lot of fun making his food with vegetables from our community shared agriculture and organic items from Whole Foods. The best part is feeding him and watching him open his mouth wide for the next spoon. So cute!

7 Months Old

Monday, October 26, 2009: Andres turned 7 months old! Wow, time does fly. I can't believe our little boy whom we received at 5 1/2 months is already 7 months old. He gets cuter and cuter by the day. We love being his parents. I am sure you can see how proud and happy DADDY is. Andres is a lot of fun, and keeps us VERY active!

WE LOVE YOU, ANDRES!!!

Eating Rice Cereal

Friday, October 23, 2009: After talking to the pediatrician at the International Adoption Clinic about Andres' feeding, we decided to take his advice and start feeding him rice cereal separately and not in his bottle. As you can see in the picture, he enjoyed it, and ate it all! He has a very good appetite, I must say.

International Adoption Clinic

Today, we had our first visit at the International Adoption Clinic in Westerville, Ohio. This is where they meet Andres for the first time and give him a check up visit. The nurse ran a TB test which will give us results by Monday. A physical therapist tested his development skills with toys. The doctor checked him, and Andres is a healthy boy. We go to Nationwide Children's Hospital on Monday for more tests and to meet with a nutritionist.

The doctor recommended we start feeding Andres some rice cereal to feed with a spoon instead of mixed in his bottle, so I tried it this afternoon, and he loved it. He seems to like everything we give him so far.

Andres with Mommy

I am so in love with our little son, Andres Sebastian, that I want to share him with everyone important in our lives. We had a great time today, at our friend's house, as we hung out with my yoga mommy friends and their babies.

The Mommy Club

Andres and I had our first social outing in Columbus. We went to Anne's house for tea, soup, and fun baby and mommy time. We had so much fun! We are all blessed to have each other's friendship, love, and support. It is wonderful to share this journey with such special mommy friends.

Family in Bogota

Last week, we stayed in Bogota with our cousins: Andres Felipe, Mateo, and Maria Lucia. We were able to visit the Gold Museum in Bogota as well, so Andres went for his first museum visit.
