I've been stalking my email for a while now, just waiting for anything. I worked a long day today, Mike picked Tay up after work, so I could work later this afternoon. I arrived home around 6 pm, really tired. Mike and Tay were playing in the back yard. So what's the first thing I do when I get into the house....checked email, of course! There was an email from Lisa at Holt. I held my breath and clicked! It was a Well Baby Check from Lisa!!! Aiden went to the Holt office for a Dr. visit on September 30th.
According to the report, he is 28 inches tall now and weighs 21 lbs. Under gross motor development they have him rolling over, creeps and crawls, sits briefly, sitting balance is good, sits up alone without support, pulls to standing position, walks holding on to furniture. Under fine motor skills, they have him reaching out for and can grasp large objects, transfers objects from hand to hand, rakes at a raisin (yep, that's what it says! lol), picks up raisin with pincer movement of forefinger and thumb. Under personal, they have that he prefers foster mother, and responds to sound of name. And last under language, they have him saying single syllables, and imitates speech sounds. He is assessed at the developmental age of nine months! My baby is right on target!! Yeah Aiden! :)
This was a great welcome home this evening! I was so glad to get it! I'm just so bummed that there wasn't a picture attached. :( I posted on the Korean Forum that I finally received a WBC, but no picture with his care package. I asked in the post how I can find out if Aiden's care package made it to Holt in Korea. The moms answered me right away with the answers I needed - you all are awesome! They told me to track the package using the tracking number on the customs receipt (duh Leah!) So I googled USPS tracking international packages and there it was, don't you just love Google! There on the screen was each step that package made, from White House PO on Sept 13th, to Miami, FL on Sept 17th, arriving into Foreign Customs in Korea on Sept 20th, out of Foreign Customs 46 minutes later, then at Foreign delivery unit by 5:35 pm, then delievered to Holt by Sept 28th, 9:46 am. Okay, so the package made it there on September 28th, Aiden had his WBC on September 30th.
So where's a picture? Some of the moms also answered me with this: Most of the time pictures with care packages usually arrive a few days after the WBC does. Ohhhhhh, okay, so I'm .... waiting.... again.... :)
