Updates are In!!!!




Yeah! Updates are finally in! As much as I love looking at the same pictures and videos of our sweet boy over and over again, I was longing for some new ones. I was so thrilled to see that Mrs. Chiu (his foster-mother) showed him playing with the toys we sent him! He is holding Mickey Mouse while looking at the musical storybook toy that was in his first care package. He isn’t wearing any of the things we sent him, but it might be too warm for them still since he is in shorts in the photo. I am not quite sure what he’s up to with his tongue in the video, maybe teething? He definitely looks older than his last update. I just want him to stay little for a few more months until we go and pick him up!

Also, I wanted to share that we will eventually be calling him “Jason,” with the middle name of “Pin-Hao”. I’m sure we will slowly transition from one name to the other. We actually kind of decided on the name last summer before his referral, but wanted to leave our options open in case it didn’t seem to fit. When I was ten years old I was a flower girl in my favorite older cousin’s wedding. The ring bearer that walked down the aisle with me was a little boy named Jason, and I’ve liked the name ever since. It’s funny that the name used to be so common that there is a baby name book called something like, “Beyond Jason and Jennifer,” but now you don’t hear it as often. Anyway, I think it also fits well with “Katherine,” and “Stephen.”

Now I must go blog surfing to check out everyone else's updates!!!

I am so glad you got another update! He is so precious. How sweet that he is holding the Mickey that you sent to him - makes him feel a little closer to home. Love you!!

Gosh! He is so cute! Congratulations on your adoption journey! Thanks for checking our blog. Reed is about 21 months and is still teething! He started teething kind of late, but other than the extreme drool, hasn't had much trouble. Where are you all in the process? Praying for a final ruling I am sure!

Oh my goodness, he is just so adorable and I LOVE that you can see him playing with things you sent! He looks so healthy and I'm so tickled to know you have a Jason on the way home!! :) I think the name fits perfectly and its one of Lauren's little buddies' names - she gives it a thumbs up too!
I know you are anticipating your court date towards Christmas & I'll be thinking of you! Let's get that baby home!! So cute!!
Enjoy!!
