Happy, HAPPY 18 months!!!

The past 3 months we have gotten super consistent updates on our little man!  Huge shout out to our agency here in the states and the one in Korea and, of course, lil' peanut's foster mom!  She gets him in there for his check-up right on the 29th of each month.  Since Korea is a whole day ahead of us, just when I'm feeling sad that he has turned another month older and is still not home I am given just what I need to be reminded why I am waiting.  I was trying not to get my hopes up that I would find a big dose of happiness in my inbox today...but I did!  And boy did it deliver on the happiness factor!!!

Look at my big boy standing there like the toddler that he is!  Just hanging out, drinking his milk.

Somebody got his bangs trimmed. ;) 

And is that a tiny little back pack he is wearing?!?  Oh, I die from the cuteness!

He's grown just a little bit over the last month.  24.9 pounds and 31.1 inches.  And he's been busy cutting teeth...a total of 6 new teeth over the past month!  (Oh, his poor foster mama!) ;)  He now has 8 teeth on top and 6 on the bottom.  

The Lord knew I needed this to tide me over.  The latest news/rumors say that the ministry will begin accepting EP requests some time next week.  If this turns out to be true, and if our boy's paperwork makes it into that first batch, and if the ministry is swift (super swift) in processing the requests...maybe there is still a chance that he will come home before hubby deploys.  It's a very, very small chance...but I'm not going to put God in a box on this one.  Until hubby is gone I will keep sending up prayers that our sweet boy will make it home in time to meet his Daddy!
