Here is a photo of Leaf enjoying the grounds around the Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou.  He looks to be contemplating his time in China and all of the vision, good health and wonderful people it has delivered to him. I know that I have been contemplating the same.  There are many stories and pictures to share with you all.  But first, here is a little announcement about his progress. I've made a list of  things that Leaf is doing by himself that he didn't or could not do before China. 

Crawling

Jumping

Sitting up

Sitting down 

Watching Television (grabbing at the images and getting excited from the colors and fun)

Better eye contact

Clapping his own hands for Patty Cake (clapping is visually learned)

Wishing you all a wonderful holidays - and our many thanks to all of you for sharing the gift of sight with Leaf.  We could have never accomplished what we have without all of your love, support, encouragement and prayers.   We are full of gratitude, awe and joy.

Much love, Johnny and Stephanie
