Moved to the Big Kids House

We heard today that Bubba has moved to the big kids house. The children's home he was living in had more babies to take in and it was time for him to move in with the big kids. I am told the children are up to 4 years old, he has adjusted well, and he is enjoying playing with the big kids. He will be there until we are in China and waiting to meet him. It gives us such peace to know he is well cared for and loved. We still can not wait to see him. His big sister is very excited and doesn't understand why we have to wait so long to go get him.

I have emailed with another mom of a child from the same home. It was very exciting to hear more about him and see some more pictures and videos.

We have settled on his middle name. We kept part of Sophie's Chinese name as her middle name and planned to do the same with our son. We decided to keep Yin Lin as his middle name. Now, about his first name...well that's another story or should I say debate.

I was told by Paula (one of our travel mates from our trip to get Sophie and her daughter, Clarice) yesterday that we needed to hurry and decide on his name or we will keep calling him Bubba when we get him. It is really easy to say and has really caught on with our family. Just to note Bubba is just a country name for brother or a big ole country boy. We think it's cute! We had a nickname for Sophie too before we agreed on her name. It just wasn't as catchy, Jamquita Sha Naynay.
