6 months down, less than 6 to go?

Good gosh, let's hope so!!

Today marks six months since our referral!

Some days it seems like yesterday,

some days it seems like forever!

But for gosh sakes, we are six months closer to travel call and that cannot be a bad thing!

This is how it all went down six months ago...

and I realized that three years ago today, we were having our homestudy visit for Seon-Mi!

I must admit I'm getting pretty excited!

I can't wait to go back to Korea,

smell the food,

walk the streets,

(you know, as a tourist, nothing else) ;)

shop the markets,

explore the city,

and of course,

meet my little girly!!

Oy.

Six months down.

Please oh please, less than six to go!!

An update on Hui-a!

I love this combination of two outfits we sent in  previous care packages!!  Hui-a's foster mother is clearly making great use of the mix and not so matching possibilites!! LOL!

(I think we sent her those socks too!)

You have no idea how badly I needed this update today and I'm typing this post thru tears!

We have really tried hard to stay positive and upbeat during this excruciating wait, but sometimes, it gets the best of you and we were hanging on by a thread this week waiting for a new well baby checkup!

Hui-a is now 15 months old, is 31.9 in tall and weighs 25.3 lbs!!  That is the 75th percentile!! My big girl!

Seon-mi was never over the 3rd percentile while in Korea!  And just to give you an idea...Seon-mi is 36 in tall and weighs 28 lbs at 3 years old!

She is walking, running and can also walk backwards!  She is crawling up and down stairs (oh boy!), helps around the house (too cute!) and a random fact...she can 'tower 5 cubes'!  She is saying umma (mommy), abba (daddy), mool (water) and mama (food)!

My heart literally aches looking at these pictures! 

What a relief it is to receive updates like this throughout the process! 

And can I mention how happy I am that her hair is growing out!

 Please, oh please, hurry home Hui-a!
