WE MET GEZAHIGN!!!!

Okay, Ted and I are almost sick from being so tired, but we figured we better post something tonight or we're really going to be in trouble with everyone back home :)...we're having a hard time figuring out what time it is and keeping track of what day it is because of all the flying and the time change.  But, without going into all the details about our trip so far, we wanted to tell you that we met Elijah today.  His nannies and nurse call him, "Gaz-ZOO," for short.  So, we've been calling him that and Gezie most of the day.  We don't know if we can post pictures yet, but we'll try to find out soon so we can let you see him.  We visited him at the transition home today--called Horizon House--where he is in a crib in the same room as about 4 other babies.  He was HEAVIER than we thought he'd be--the nurse said they have been feeding him well.  His skin and hair are very light, and he does have those BIG BROWN EYES...we met him this morning, and he wasn't very happy about leaving his nanny, but by night's end, he was laughing and playing with us.  He has 2 big baby teeth on the top and is standing, and even took a few steps today (we baited him with a teddy bear he likes :)). 
It's hard for us to imagine, but we're pretty sure that he's never had that one-on-one attention, so he was kind of lethargic when we first met him.  We have to teach him how to play!  The children are together in a room, but they stay separately in their cribs, so they don't have much interaction with one another.  There were 2 babies in Gezie's room who were "firecrackers" in their cribs--bouncing, throwing toys out, laughing--I asked, and I don't think that we're supposed to pick up the other children, so we didn't.  But we played with them through their cribs.  We visited this morning, then we went back late this afternoon after bath time.  We got to feed little Gez-zoo--the babies eat mixture of pasta, egg, onion, and some sort of seasoning.  Not sure at this point if they eat fruits or vegetables.
Can't believe that we've only had 1 full day here.  Had a great lunch meal (pepsi in a glass bottle!), but not drinking the water.
Hopefully, more tomorrow after we are more rested.
