Levi: Five Months


Today's update to agency director:

Dear Jan,

It gives me great pleasure to send this update to you!! Enclosed you will find a few pictures and our check for $_____—the balance due on Levi’s adoption fees. It didn’t take us ‘till he was thirty after all! Excited that now we can start moving toward finalization!
Now for the update part of this update: Levi is five months old and weighs somewhere between 16 and 17 pounds. He has some adorable, kissable rolls. He is hitting all of his developmental markers right on schedule. He laughs, babbles, grasps toys, and moves anything he gets his chubby little fingers directly into his mouth. He can roll over both ways and is oh, so close to being able to sit unsupported. I think he could do it now, except he becomes mesmerized by his toes and as soon as he grabs hold of them, he does an automatic face plant. As the photos show, he has some wild and crazy hair that just makes us giggle—especially when (the master) spikes it up after his bath. His favorite song is “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes,” and we are all experts now at performing it for his pleasure. We love him to distraction.

Give our love to everyone in the office,



Jessica

  1. I just caught your blog address change. I am trying to commit to reading blogs when I travel. I really miss my blogging family. FB isn't the same level of authenticity and depth.
    Levi is precious! Congratulations!
    I've been thinking of you all summer as we continue to work on getting the disabled children from our kids orphanage families. RR finally has them on their waiting child listing since BCS no longer does Ukraine adoptions. Praying for more families to find their next son or daughter!
