Alexey has progressed quite nicely in the two weeks that we've been here in Karaganda. He's learned to pull himself up to a standing position and now often greets us standing up in his crib when we arrive. He busily imitates many of our gestures and even babbles back to us when we babble, er, talk, to him. He watches incredulously when we sing to him.
Alexey is in an exploring stage right now. He crawls around at a great clip, aiming persistently for any open door in his sight. He watches everything that happens around him very intently.
He wants to play with our glasses, with long hair (ouch!), and with any toy not currently in his possession. In other words, a typical 11 month old.

What a beautiful little guy Alexey is! I just love seeing pictures of him. I also totally enjoy reading your posts as they are filled with memories of Kazakhstan as well as some new points of interest. Looking forward to seeing you all home as a family.

Oh his eyes are amazing! ...and mine are wet. Sigh, this is exactly what you've been waiting for.
John it suits you so well!
