I know its very nerdy. But if you know me (Sarah), I am a nerdy. And graphing things is the epitome of nerdiness. Yet, I graph everything, so here goes...
Our little tiny, growth resticted orphan is growing up! When we first took him to the doctor after he arrived in the US, he was in the 5th percentile for weight and 10th percentile for height. Since then he has been steadily growing. I graphed his weight and height last night and he is in the 40th and 15th percentile respectively.
Every experience is a new one for our big boy. This is his Halloween costume. He was a teenage mutant ninja turtle. For those of you who were not into the TMNTs, he was Leonardo.
Still adorable as usual. This is Droiy after his second hair cut.
He loves to make us laugh.
As he grows up he is becoming bossier too!
He always has an opinion about EVERYTHING!!
He asked us to dress him up like a cat.
He loves helping out in the kitchen.
He makes waffles for us every Saturday morning.

Please keep our family in your prayers: We decided to apply for some adoption grants in order to afford the second half of the adoption expenses for Droiy.
Growing fast! And big Ninja Turtle muscles!

Have you tried www.giftofadoption.com ? They are really good. If you want I can try and find the adoption grant list I usually send to other adoptive parents. There should be some awesome ones for you since he is from Haiti... there are a bunch of grants specifically for Haitian and Ethiopian orphans. What paper work do you have left to finish?
ReplyDeleteI found the list I was thinking of! Its long, hopefully you find something that works :)
