An update on Simon!

We got an update on Simon today! It came with 10 new photos and he looks happy and healthy. We are so thankful! He's had a haircut since our last update and he looks so cute. He's gained about half a pound and continues to be very smiley. This update could not have come on a better day ... we knew that others with the same referral day as us had been receiving updates and we were feeling down that we hadn't gotten ours yet. Yesterday after work, I hit a wall and let myself have a good cry.

And then today around lunch time, we finally received our update! Probably the biggest change since our last update is that Simon has started running -- uh-oh! We could be in trouble!

Here are some of my favorite things from this report:

*a very peaceful and quiet child
*does not get upset easily and only when something he likes to have is forbidden from containing; when he gets upset he drops on the floor and cries but can be soothed easily by hugging him and telling him that it's ok
*has become more active and playful

We've also noticed in the photos that he seems to be left-handed. His two little teeth are showing more, too.

Hooray for updates! Now, come on court date! We're ready to know our son in person!
