New Photo and Updates from Vietnam


This afternoon we received a wonderful update from Ninh Thuan Vietnam about our precious Van Lai.

The update included his his current weight of 16.5 pounds, and that he is now 26 inches tall. That is excellent for a 6 month old. He is in the 50th percentile for weight, and 25th percentile for heighth. The letter said that "he is a very healthy and happy baby".

They are taking him to the doctor soon to check on the bump that appears above one of his eyes. We noticed in the first picture they sent, and the agency representative in Vietnam confirmed that it is still present. The exact wording that the letter said was "
a case worker told me this more likes a pimple." So they will be taking him to the doctor to get it checked out. Please pray that it is nothing to worry about. They are going to hold our paperwork until it is clarified, to ensure it is nothing big.

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. We really can't wait to get to hold this little guy!

He is precious, you guys!!! I can't wait to see him in person. It's so funny because Selah weighs 16 pounds- our kids are the same size!!! I posted a new pic on my blog if you want to see her.
