Hello and greetings from Zachary's nap time hour(s)! We have already had an eventful day! The "Zach-attack" never occured last night! OMG, No way?! Yes, Way! We anticipated a night of comforting a confused, sad, angry (insert adjective) Little Zachary. But, to our surprise, he never got out of bed once he zonked out around 6PM. He never ate a dinner so at the very least we expected him to wake up hungry. Matt and I woke up at 4:30AM with a little sleepy eyed Zachary quietly laying on his back looking around in his crib. Matt and I began singing to him as he quietly watched our performance. 
 
For Zachary's early breakfast meal he drank one bottle of a mixture of formula and rice cereal & 1/2 a banana. He loves to eat and would continue to eat as long as food is in front of him. Take away the food and he becomes satisfied. Now we know! His first meal with us we just kept feeding and feeding him expecting him to push away or close his mouth! Lynda pointed out possibly his food had been some what rationed so he maybe used to eating until the food ends.
 
Zachary feel asleep against Matt while Julia was doing her hair. What a site to see- my two Miller men cuddled up together - a perfect combination~ like peanut butter & jelly, Bread & butter, chicken & waffles :) It's a "God thing" because he fits perfectly with us!
 
OUR SON HAD A BM!!! We failed to take a picture of his diaper. But, we would like to share with you the gory details. Matt smelled it first. And, if you know that my husband has little olfactory senses then you will know how serious this is! When Julia picked Zachary up out of his crib he had a look on his face that we suspected was a "OMG, I pooped my pants" kinda look! Somehow our brilliant son managed to poop a good cup size of goo and managed NOT to get a single drop on his little hiney! Yes, it is true! We only used the sanitary wipe for good measure not because of well... I'm sure you get the idea.
 
For Zachary's second breakfast our family of 5 went down stairs to the hotel buffett. All the staff & guests watched us with curiosity. One waiter took our table as his "special project" because he was never far from Zachary. Our son loved his scrambled eggs, noodles, watermelon & apple juice! At one point we were concerned he would have a melt down when his Daddy (out of need) took away the large metal spoon from Zachary's tight grip. Zach was pounding the table, tossing food off the spoon and making a mess~ He is like his Mommy, he likes to play with his food! Back to the story, When Matt was taking back the spoon Zachary had a facial expression that appeared to be a the beginnings of a wail to put a fire engine's sirens to shame boiling up from the very depths of his soul... But, our brilliant son swallowed the meltdown back down thanks to quick hiding of the spoon combined with distraction with food and other matters at hand. Not a peep came out of his mouth.
 
This morning, we went to the Beijing Civil Affairs office to be interviewed as part of the adoption. When we walked in, workers were gathered in the lobby for an exercise session that appeared to me a strange blend between Tai Chi and Riverdance. The interview was conducted in Mandarin, but our trusty guide Michael was there to translate for us. We were asked about household income, how long we had been married, if we had other children, and if we like Zachary (to which we answered, "We LOVE him! He is our pride and joy!"). We answered all of the questions and apparently we passed muster. So, yet another piece to completing the adoption puzzle has fallen into place.
 
We just got him up from a nap. This afternoon, we plan to have Glen and Lynda watch him for awhile and we are going to go check out the Wu Mart and surrounding stores to see what we can see. We appreciate everyone's comments. We can't express how much it means to us to have so many friends and family following our journey. We feel your love on the other side of the world!
