    Congrats! So glad things are going well.

    He is beautiful!  We adopted a 28-month old 5.5 years go from Russia, and reading your blog entry of meeting your son brought back so many memories of these days and our first meeting.  So exciting. It's hard to believe over 5 years later that my son had another life before we brought him home. Enjoy!

    This post should have come with a NSFW warning, because I'm sitting here at my desk, all teared up.  I'm so, so, so happy for you.  You look elated, and with good reason.  He's such a handsome little man, and I'm so glad to read that he took to you right away.  Dream come true!
