February Update

Today we received our February update from AWAA. This update included a few more pictures and some information about him. I have read this at least 20 times already, because its about all we know about him.
As of February 22, Jacob is 14 lbs and 24 inches long. He put on 1.5 lbs in one month!! He has been healthy all month too!!! Praise the Lord!! Many families receive word of their child getting an URTI or pneumonia or something and it seems all the kids pass it around and around. But so far Jacob has stayed healthy. A few days after we got our referral, I started thinking about getting one of these emails (because it seems like almost every family gets one at some point) and I think about how helpless we would feel that we can't comfort him when he is sick or help do anything. So we have been praying for him (and all the kids at the Transition Home) to stay healthy! It does this mama's heart good to have not worried about that!
Here is some other information we learned today:
-he eats 5oz of formula 7 times a day
-he can lift his head up while on his tummy
-he is making babbling sounds
-he is happy and content
-he gets fussy when he wants to sleep
-he is active and playful

Oh!! I can't wait to see him!! We leave 3 weeks from today!!!!! I can't wait to get there and have our "meetcha" day!!!!
