Walter Update

On Friday, we finally received a much awaited update on Walter. He turned 1 on May 12, so our Korean agency took some pictures so we could see how much he's grown. Our country specialist also requested a written update for us and this came with the pictures and Walter's first drawing.

He is a little over 20 lbs now and 30 inches! He likes eggs, apples, strawberries, grapes and seaweed soup. He's starting to use a spoon and can drink from a cup with some spilling. Our social worker at ESWS in Seoul reports that Walter loves to go outside, is saying a few words, and isn't just walking, but running! I am having some serious doubts about being able to keep up with 2 runners! She wrote that Walter is an "active and lovely boy. Also bright!!!"

We are so thankful to see how our little sweetie is growing in his foster mom's loving care, and wishing that we could have him with us right now.

The wait to be submitted for an Emigration Permit continues and we have no idea when it might happen. I'm hoping we'll be traveling before October, but you never know. We're praying for patience and God's perfect timing and thankful we have another sweetie to enjoy while we wait.
