9 Months Old

Well...today our little guy turns 9 months old. I never thought I'd be blogging about him turning 9 months old without him in my arms :(

We received another height and weight update yesterday. He now ways 19.14 pounds and he's 26 inches tall. He's a big boy. He does still have a bit of a cold though.

Still no word on our paperwork. Jynger is in Washington, DC this week at a Joint Council meeting. Maybe she'll have a few more answers regarding the latest USCIS policy when she returns.

Ian is ready for his baby brother to come home. Sunday night we were getting ready for bed and Ian picked up Drew's picture and took it to bed with him. He then proceeds to tell us "I going to teach baby Drew how to pray, OK?"...and then said "I love you baby Drew" and kissed his picture. Talk about a big lump in the throat...Charlie and I were both choked up.

Little man Drew, we're trying to get there....hopefully it won't be much longer.

Nadra,
We are still praying for Drew. Just know that he will be home soon and until then he is being loved a bunch in NT.

How sweet Ian is. He sounds ready to be a big brother. We are really praying for USCIS situation and I run to the computer each day after work to see if you and Shelley received good news. Hang on a little longer. You can do it.

Ian is such a good big brother. Poor little guy must be so confused.

You have to hear some news soon. It's time for Drew to come home.

What a sweet big brother. I'm sure hoping you travel soon (and can hug our sweet Sadie for us!)

What a super big brother Ian will be. Drew will be blessed in so many ways.
We have to travel soon. We have to.
Chin up, girl.

Hey Nadra -- our boys share birthdays! Adam turned two on April 10th!

Happy birthday little Drew. I'm thinking of you and your family here in the U.S. who need you to come home.

Beth said...

Praying for you guys! We know exactly how you feel. I hope Ian gets to teach baby Drew how to pray really soon!

Hi Nadra, Sorry to hear that you don't have your good news yet. :( This wait is a nightmare isn't it?? Devika turned 8 months on Monday. Sigh.
I know we'll both be hearing good news soon and then this time will be a very distant memory!! That first moment with Drew will make it all worth it.
