Hey good lookin'

Dunk, my adorable nephew from China was born with cleft lip and cleft palate. Although he had 1 surgery in China, he still needed several "tweeks" when he got home. About a week ago, he underwent a lip revision and a slight nose revision. It is unbelievable how much different he looks already, even swollen. He has the cutest little button nose now, and the sweetest little puckery lips. I have had the pleasure of having him over today, and I just want to stare at him...too cute! He must be pretty confident with his new look, too. I asked him if he was handsome, and he quickly replied rather loudly, "Yah, chelby.....coot!" Auntie agrees!!! A brand new man getting lovies from his cousin, Darling D.
Together again...best friends! These two are used to seeing each other almost everyday, and they hadn't been together for over a week. Boy, were they excited!

His "before" picture. He was darling even before his surgery. He is the happiest little guy and has been such a fun addition to our family. What a blessing!
