Last trip Day 1

Hello from Russia! We landed in Moscow Monday Sept 28 an hour earlier than scheduled. The flight was PACKED and there was a lot of turbulence, so we were glad to get off the plane. Once again, the health department had to take our temperature before we could deplane (I guess that's a standard now, when coming from the US). We made it through customs quickly with no problems and then waited FOREVER for our luggage. We were beginning to worry that it didn't make it - but it was one of the last pieces to come out. German was waiting for us and then we were off to Kaluga. He told us in the car that we were going to see Logan today (which was a surprise). So, we stopped at McDonalds for a cheeseburger, then off to get Logan to take his passport picture. One of the caretakers came with us. He was quiet the entire ride, just staring at us and probably wondering what the heck was going on. While we were waiting for the pictures we got to hold him and tried to get a smile out of him, with no luck. Then back to the baby home, where we got to spend about 30 minutes with him before his nap. I think this was the most fun we have seen him - laughing, smiling, playing, walking with us and trying to figure out why Daddy's face is so rough (Dennis hasn't shaved in a couple of days now and Logan kept rubbing it and staring at it). Two more teeth have come through (now he has 4 top and 3 bottom). Then they brought out a bottle for us to give him before his nap - I think he downed that thing in 2 minutes. I have read that the holes in the nipples of the bottles are big and they almost choke getting it down - well we saw it with our own eyes. I kept trying to take it out of his mouth so he could breath (I was successful twice, but not for long) and before we knew it he was done. It was crazy! At least we know this boy can eat :) We said our goodbyes and now we are back at the hotel resting - our last restful night! Tomorrow, we make our last trip to the baby home and this time we are taking Logan with us!!!! We just hope he is as excited as we are!
