Monday, February 19
Well, Sasha had been home for a month! He had made tremondous progress, we think. He speaks mostly english words now, which means he mostly repeats the same words over and over! I am suprised how quickly he just stopped speaking Russian, and am kindof sad to not hear him talking nonstop in it anymore. He knows his numbers 1-9 except he forgets 4 most of the time. We also were happy yesterday after Sunday School he kept saying "Jesus loves Sasha". It was sweet to hear him say "Jesus"!
We feel he is getting more attached to us, which is nice. He will let us hold him more, and wants to sit with us. One interesting thing was at first when we would say "I love you" in Russian and/or English he used to act really strange and start saying Russian curse words (I won't tell you what they are). He stopped doing that and now will say "Love you" back to us. He also has pretty much stopped saying the curse words now, and we don't plan on teaching him the English ones.
He is really a very happy child. He is eager to laugh and smile, and very fun to be with. We took him to the Creative Discovery Museum in Chattanooga this weekend with our friends, and he loved that! It is so neat to share new things with him. He just says "oooohhhh" over and over as he is amazed by everything. It is so fun.
It will be fun to see what the next month brings!

It's great to read how Sasha is progressing and how he is becoming more at ease in his new life. It was also great to see him in person a few weeks ago. Please keep up these posts for as long as you would like as they are a great way to be a part of the experience in at least a little way. Take care, James.
It sounds like he is doing great! I can't believe you've all been back that long already! I pray that God keeps the blessings coming daily.

It's so exciting to open your blog & see new pix & updates! It sounds like you're having such great times with him & he looks so happy. Also, I think he looks a lot like you two--God knew. Thanks for bringing us up to date & for the cute card 'from Sasha'and his announcement, too.

I was wondering how long it would be until he learns to shout "Go Dawg"?. I mean come on, after Jesus loves Sasha, would that not come next? ... LOL
maybe a cd that plays the ga fight song at night played quietly in his room..??

Sasha is so adorable. Since we saw him just two weeks ago, I can tell he is gaining weight already!! It's funny that he is already getting picky! Typical little kid :-). We can't wait to see you guys again soon! Tell Sasha hey!
