Did You Remember to Pack the Baby?

We are here in Moscow and very happy with our apartment right in the city center.  We are on the 6th floor and have a clear view of a Moscow Kentucky Fried Chicken! Here's some pics of Maksim helping Mommy pack the night before we left Siberia.....I could NOT keep him out of the suitcases, he even packed his own horse and other helpful items like empty water bottles.  He was a DREAM on the 4 1/2 flight and slept for about half of it...see pic with Daddy on the plane.
The Pediatrician was here first thing this morning and expressed.."I like this child very much" more than a couple times.  I was afraid of how Maksim would respond to him, but he did okay considering he had just woken up from his 12 hour sleep.  He cleared him of all signs of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and said he is growing remarkably well.  As he went out the door, the doctor, said, "You know, I really like this child...he is like any other typical toddler and very happy."  Ofcourse we knew all this, but it was good to get a professional opinion.
