I am tired and heading to bed soon so this will be short.
We had a good Dr. appointment today in preparation for our Embassy appointment tomorrow. The Dr. felt that Ivan was good all around. He commented on what a good sign it was that Ivan was "manipulative" to adults...he is a charmer for sure and was totally hacked off when the Dr. took his toy away in order to examine him. I would also like to share that he has already gained nearly a pound since we have had him. 4 days, 1 pound...now that is some progress! He is inching his way back up to the growth curve and the Dr. also commented that he is proportionate though small and will "grow quickly". There were several other families at the Dr. with us...it is so fun to see other miracles before my very eyes.

We spent lots of time outside walking today. Ivan loves his sling and is quite content to walk all over this monstrous city. We even did an evening walk tonight which was spectacular. It is hard to imagine that Red Square in the dark is even more magnificent than it is in the light, but it was just breathtaking.
As I said, I am off to bed. But I will leave you with some ADORABLE photos. My personal favorite is the black and white one...honestly...the finger in the nose IN the "Little Wolf" outfit...it is almost more cuteness than I can take.
Good night.

Phil & Melanie,
I cried as I read this just as I did when my daughter and her husband adopted their two boys from Russia. God worked miracles for them just as he has for you! Ivan is a beautiful boy and I know he will thrive under your care and training. Look forward to seeing this new Wolf!
Lovingly,
Judy Cocoris
All such wonderful news Melanie! I love the pictures and your precious updates. 1 pound already! He is packing it on- yea! What a journey...I love how many treasures God has had waiting for you along the way. He turns our mourning into dancing again...Safe travels for the three of you!
Love, Lindsay

A pound in 4 days is amazing. It is always so good to hear how our children thrive after being adopted.
Ivan is so cute. I enjoyed all the photos.
What a sweetie!
