Our October Update!

By -
Today we received our October update on our son Daniel:
Here is what it says:


Daniel is on Bebelac-2 formula, which is for children over 6 months of age. He also eats porridge-like cereal 3 times a day. He also sometimes eats "regular" food such as rice and vegetables and injera.

SLEEPING

Daniel is a good sleeper and usually wakes once during the night for a bottle, and takes 2 naps during the day.

APPEARANCE/DEVELOPMENT

Daniel is SO adorable. He has light skin, big eyes, and a great smile. He is now walking everywhere, and climbing on all the furniture.

SOCIAL

Daniel has a big personality and is so fun. He loves to smile and laugh, and is very easy-going. He is a definite favorite of all the staff!

MEDICAL/SPECIAL NEEDS

Daniel has been healthy since the last update.

MEASUREMENTS

Current weight: 20 pounds
Height: 76 cm or 30 inches
Head circumference: 40.5

We also received a new picture! I can't wait to introduce Daniel to all of you! It is now October and courts should open in one week. We are hoping to travel one month from today! Please pray that all the court dates are successful for all the waiting families. It is time to bring our son home! Oh and by the way in our picture Daniel still has hair. There was a rumor that all the kids in the Transition House had their heads shaved!

Today at 4:25 the call came.... It is 4:25 I was sitting out by the pool just getting ready to get in. The neighbor had just left and my kids were swimming. I sit on the edge to slide in and just then the phone rings. I think I will see who it is, but I am not going to answer it. It says 703.... oh my I think that is America World, I start crying. I answer the phone and it is Terra she asked me how I was, I ask is this "the call" she says yes... I am yelling at the kids get out of the pool, on the deck, no off the deck, close up the pool, it's "the call" I am just crying and going crazy! The neighbor hears me and thinks that someone got hurt in the pool, she comes running. The kids are yelling it's our referral. I am apologizing to Terra, I am running in the house crying, shaking, and my phone is about to die. I find another phone calm down and listen to all the information. I called my husband on the cell phone to tell him (still crying), he thinks that som

Hello again. It is Thursday night! We went to Kids Care Orphanage today. That is where Daniel lived from March 31st until June 10th. It was really sad to see all the kids there that do not have families waiting to pick them up. We got some great videos of the older kids in their school singing the ABC's and singing in Amharic. We passed out granola bars and dum dums. We also took some playground balls. When we took Daniel into the home and told the nannies, that we had Fitsum, they just went crazy. They were so excited to see him. They held him and kissed him, and spent time talking to him. One of them talked to him in Amharic and Robel our guide translated it for us on video. There were rooms of healthy children, rooms of sick kids, rooms of toddlers, and the school house of about 30 kids. The kids just couldn't get enough attention from us. I went around the school house and the toddler room and got down to their level and hugged every one of them. It was all I could do to no
