Yesterday we got an update on our baby Grant! Not sure what took so long because the pictures and measurements are from a month ago, Dec. 24th, when Grant was 8 months old. He is growing great, 19 pounds on the nose putting him at almost 50th percentile. His height is 60th percentile and his head circumference is 50th percentile. So nice and average all around:-)
The pictures were awesome, thanks to Grant's fostermommy. As warned, the two pictures that the social worker took at his agency check-up were poor. He was sitting on a table looking down so you could barely see his face (just his awesome hair, ha). I would have been so disappointed if these were the only pictures we got. However, it was amazing to see him with our 1st care package we sent. He had one of the toys that we got him in his mouth already in one of the pictures. Feels like a little piece of us is now with him in Korea as we know he has the blanket, toys and storybook with our voices.
Grant's fostermom came through for us big time, she gave the social worker three more additional pictures that were likely taken on her phone since two were a little blurry from Grant's movement. It was cool to see her house in the background of the pictures to give us a little glimpse into his life. One of the pictures is an adorable close-up with a smirk on his face and the two other pictures are him standing up (holding on to things). This tells us he is doing amazing developmentally considering the pictures had to be taken when he was only 7 months old since the social worker got them on just about his 8 month birthday. My little smarty pants. I love the one picture as he is standing on the couch with a mischievous smile on his face like he knows he is doing something wrong/dangerous:-) These pictures tell us he is happy, healthy and doing great. So thankful to his fostermom for providing them! Hope she continues to send her pictures along with the social worker's pictures.
If anyone would like to see the pictures, feel free to email me since I can't post them on this public website yet.
