September Update

Check out Tai and his split pants!
That is one brave nanny!

Here is the update we received in September from Ladybugs and Love. We were so very blessed to get all of this information. It brought so much joy to us. We were able to ask 10 questions and below were the responses......


He catches cold sometimes, not been really sick. Every morning he eats some congee or bread at 7:00am, some snack or milk at 9:00am; rice and mashed vegetable at 11:00am; mashed fruit at 2:00pm; rice or noodle at 5:00pm. He can pick up little things, and he can hold a crayon and scribble. He walks alone, he can crawl. He is not very familiar with pointing to features yet. His favorite activity is going outside and play, he likes toys new to him. He waves bye bye, and clap his hands. Take him outside and play when he is upset.


Since then the only news we have received was an updated ECHO from 2 weeks ago and updated measurements. Oh, guess I should mention about his heart defect. Tai has a VSD (a hole between his L and his R ventricle). His hole is large and will most likely need surgical repair when he gets home. Obviously heart surgery is a big deal, but as far as cardiac anomalies go, this one is pretty "easy" to repair. The good news is that he is growing and seems to be right on track developmentally. As of the week of Thanksgiving he is 25 pounds and 31 1/2 inches tall. He has 10 teeth! What a big boy!
