test results are in

a few posts ago, i asked for prayers regarding our son's blood test that would be done in korea. thank you for those. we got the results back yesterday and they were normal! i am very thankful for this.

i don't feel quite as relieved as i should though. there are so many unknowns and possibilities and nothing with a child's health is guaranteed. it looks like i might be one of those moms who worries too much! i'm trying to trust in God and know that he is in control of our lives.

i wish i had a new picture to post, but i don't. our agency said hopefully we will get updates every other month or so... our last one was after his 8 month check up, so maybe after his 10 month one??? (fingers crossed!) it's hard to believe he will 10 months old next week.

in his 8 month update we learned:

• he is crawling
• he likes to splash in the bathtub
• he is mimicking sounds well
• he likes to touch people's faces when he meets them
• (and my favorite) he is an "easy laughing (happy) baby"

we did get 9 month measurements... and he is tiny. while he is making consistent growth on the growth charts (which is good) he is only in the 10th percentile for height and the 5th percentile for weight. brian says he's going to be a little ninja. i want him home so i can feed him more and get some meat on his bones!
