handsful

I knew our agency requested an update on Dylan last week…they routinely ask the orphanage for new pictures/measurements 3 months after the Letter of Intent is sent in.  Orphanages aren’t required to send anything – some do and some don’t.  I was so happy to see these pictures and info in my inbox today! 

Notice the concentration and that amazing stack of blocks!  Love the split pants and this is also another shot of him using his small leg (knee?)  for support.  Randy isn’t thrilled with his choice of football team, though :)

This one melts me…I think I see a dimple?! 

There were current measurements included, which I still have to convert from metric.  Here’s the info they gave us:

health is good – can express his wish and request – potty trained, but needs diaper at night – knows red (this makes me laugh…he’s a NC State fan already!)

They call him Yu Hai – He is outgoing (Abbey loved that) – He is in the orphanage (he could have been transferred to foster care, I’m glad they confirmed where he was) – He received our care package – he eats noodle, rice, and drinks juice.

We are thrilled to have this new information on our son!  We seem to be on schedule to have our dossier go to China next week, and families “usually” travel about 4-6 months after that.  We’re still guessing November…we’ll see!
