This is Mike.
I will post again in the morning with a rundown of our day, but the last couple hours were very exciting. We had a major breakthrough that we really weren't planning on until much later. After dinner, Juliette and Anya started laughing and tickling each other (poor Eliza was already asleep). Magnus thought that was funny and initially cracked his first real smile (a big change from the stoic, sad eyes we have seen over the past 24 hours) and then a giggle and then an all out, "someone call a timeout because I'm having trouble breathing" belly laugh.
Oh my goodness, look at that beautiful boy! I'm soooo happy to see those smiles! We're so happy for all of you, and it's just wonderful that things are going well so far. Last night we showed the boys the pictures you had posted, and they really just wanted to see Magnus! They'll be in for a treat later today! Love you guys, and hope the rest of your journey goes smoothly!

DeleteWOW, this is so AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing moment!!! Anya told Jami she got Magnus to smile for her, and I know she had to be the proudest big sister! That little boy won't know what to do with all the love surrounding him.
