Most of you know about Matteo by now from my email updates, but I wanted to put some more pictures of our Matteo on the blog. Matteo came to our family on August 11th and celebrated his 3rd Birthday on August 26. Matteo was born very premature (1lb and 14 oz) and has been in an orphanage since he was about 6 months old. He has some auditory problems that we are still investigating and that are most likely linked to how premature he was. He is very affectionate and is eager to please, although a stubborn streak does pop up now and again! But what else would you expect from a VanBeveren????
