Surprise Update!!!!

I can't believe it!!!! I have been telling everyone when they ask (and believe me it's often) that I wouldn't receive any update photos or information until I pick Henry up. Well, today in the mail an envelope comes with these 2 adorable pictures and information about Henry for a 7 month update. The paper said that Henry is 7.7 kg (about 16 lbs.) and enjoys time on his tummy but is not crawling yet. He sleeps with his foster mom through the night from 9 p.m to 8 a.m. He grabs at toys, says eomma (mom) and eobubba (piggyback) and likes to play games. It also said that he is learning to relax a little and not tense up quite as much around new people (this was an issue earlier). The outfit Henry is wearing in the picture is the one I sent over in his care package -- I thought it was really sweet and thoughtful that his foster mother dressed him in that. I'm looking forward to having a chance to tell her that in person. =) Henry sounds and looks delightful and I'm just a bit more in love with him every time I look at his picture. Please, please Lord make things go quick and smooth and bring on the travel call!!

I'm happy that you were able to receive a referral to brighten your day and hear about how wonderful Henry is doing. I pray that things go quickly and that you will be able to go and be with him before too long!

Isn't it great when you get bonus pictures! I know it was for us.

I still laugh that our families have the "Henry" connection, thanks to you going up to Caroline. She was at our house last week and is going to have her parents translate a few scrapbooks that Delaneys foster mom and daughter made.
