This morning I learned how to give Cameron a massage, complete with baby oil. I then put his diaper on, dressed and fed him breakfast. He eats some kind of cereal and milk. He is supposed to have only about 1/2 of the milk in the bottle, but he seemed to want more. When we are home, I will let him have as much as he wants.

We brought the Snugli with us, so Cameron can start getting used to being in it. He did pretty well. Dad and I got him strapped in and I showed him that the baby in the mirror was in his Snugli too. We then took one lap around the room. It was when we were getting ready to unstrap him, that Cameron began to get a little upset.

Cam is getting an upper tooth now too, which seemed to be bothering him. Dad managed to get a little Oragel in the area, and that seemed to help.

We've been bringing CDs to listen to during our visit. One has nursery rhymes and the other has classical music. The latter is very nice to hear in the background.

We went to lunch at the Petrovich with Marina after our morning visit. Tom had chicken and noodle soup. I have a cucumber and tomato salad, noodle soup, and a pork dish that had bananas and pineapple.

After lunch, we returned to the Internet room. We were able to scan and post two pictures of Cameron. We also emailed the US Embassy to ask their opinion about conditions in Kazakhstan and about their processing of orphan visas.

I think we all had a good time during our afternoon visit. Cameron continues to give both Mama and Daddy many kisses. One of the caregivers brought a bottle of milk and I was able to give it to him. Boy, did he drain that thing fast! Not long after, we had to end our visit.
