Our Adoption Story

We intially created this website to update family and friends about our journey to adopting a baby from Taiwan. We traveled to Taiwan in December 2005 and brought home our wonderful baby boy, William Ke-Fan. The blog has been such a hit with family and friends that we have decided to continue it.

Getting Into a Routine

It's been a while since our last post. Since then, things have settled down quite a bit. We have been able to get William onto a regular schedule now. We are feeding him three meals a day and are down to three bottles. He LOVES veggies and usually does well to eat his fruit. He likes rice cereal now that we feed him the kind with apples and mix it with apple juice. We have also started feeding him crackers and fruit puffs. William loves both of these, probably because he can feed them to himself. It makes for one messy baby at the end of the meal. Here's a relatively clean William.

Will sleeps through the night (most nights) and takes two naps during the day. He has started crawling again and can pull himself up.

William loves taking baths. He likes to splash the water and play with the shampoo bottle.

He has a great sense of humor and an incredibly curious nature.

He is a lot of fun to be around but we are absolutely exhausted most nights, especially now that Allen is back at work. Our dog, Riemann, has been getting a lot less attention. We tried to explain before we left for Taiwan, but it is only now sinking in that he is no longer the baby of the house.
