Welcome, Deshon!

Yesterday our adoption agency called to ask us whether we would be interested in taking Deshon. We didn't have to learn too much about him before we said YES! Without getting too much into the nitty gritty of details, Deshon arrived at our home last night at 9:15pm. Tori and I were so excited for him to arrive that we had to play cards to pass the time and calm our nerves (we had already done all the cleaning we could do).

Deshon has big bright eyes and is full of smiles and funny babbles. He didn't seem to have any trouble adjusting to our home, although as it got later and later we were unsure of how to get him to sleep. But once Tori got him to sleep, he slept for 9 hours straight!

We are thrilled to have Deshon here and hope that we get to keep him forever and ever. But, part of the reality of being a foster parent is that we really don't know what will happen. So we're just trying to take deep breaths and hope that Deshon ends up in the best place possible.

Here's a video of Zadie and Deshon together. Zadie is very curious about him, but also likes to stake out her territory with regards to the attention she gets from her moms. She always wants to be held by the person holding Deshon.

Thanks for all the great comments. Deshon is 8 months old and doing great. We're taking some time off, so Hank isn't quite on double duty yet, but he will be soon!
