Ooley is 37 inches tall and now weighs 31 lbs. He follows instruction well and is very attentive. They tell us that he's probably the one that abides to the schedule the most (that's my boy, organized) and is always in front of the line when it's time to sing/pray and eat (again, our little leader). He goes straight to his bed when it's nap time and loves to play outside. He loves lunch time too, and his favorite foods are rice and veggies, favorite fruit is mango. I find it interesting that God has perfectly planned some of his favorite things to match ours. Proof that God knows who fits as a family unit and plans life accordingly.
Several of the children had stomach bugs over the last month, but are doing better. Those of you who know me (Amber) well, know that stomach bugs are my biggest phobia. Knowing that our child has been sick with the very thing I hate the most, is heart breaking. However, they are doing well and we know that all the children will be healthy. Haiti health care is nothing like we have here, and we are grateful that Ooley and the other children have access to medicine.
Our adoption file was submitted internationally early September 2011..... and it feels like it's taking forever to get the word to fly out for final things in Haiti. We know that after we make another trip to Haiti, it will be about 2 months before we bring Ooley home. But we have no timeline for the waiting stage we are in and it's tiring to just sit idle and anticipate that call at any moment. Everyone around us is prepared for us to jump on the next flight as soon as we get the word, and we are more ready than ever!
Thanks for loving our son and praying our family! He's a pretty big deal. But I think we may be a little partial :)
