Happy 7 Month Birthday Levi

Today Levi turned 7 months old. Thanks to my friend Natasha I have a little bit more information on him that makes me long for him even more. She shared that he is very mobile and scoots all around. He does the downward dog pose, hands and feet on the ground with his bottom in the air. He is also very proficient at backbends. Twice they saw him with his head and feet on the ground and his tummy in the air. Sounds like he is going to keep us on our toes! We can't wait!!

We also got a height and weight update while I was away from blogging. Levi is now up to 15.8 lbs. and 27.2 inches.

Just want to remind everyone to pray tomorrow evening as that will be Friday morning in Vietnam - the date for the DNA appointment. I am not sure what time exactly it will occur so I am asking people to pray around 7:00 tomorrow night, as they are 13 hours ahead of us. Thanks again for your support!

Praying for Levi and his birth mom and YOU at this very moment! I wish you were going with me this weekend, but it won't be long now since that DNA testing will be out of the way!
