We don't know much. Last week we found out that Henri was from an agency in Hosanna. Mostly...we know that we will celebrate his birthday on June 20th. He weighed 7 lbs when he was brought to Addis. In August, he had already gained 3 lbs. Now, as of October 9th, he weighs 13 lbs.
He had a great health check when he first came to Addis, and he just went to the neurologist on Oct. 9th to confirm that all is OK. He has a habit of always having his tongue hanging out. The report states he is interactive with others, has good control of his head and neck, and they feel he is a healthy baby boy.
My cousin Linsey, who adopted two boys from Ethiopia and is a nurse, thought a tongue sticking out was a sign of malnutrition. His aunt, Dimpy, always sticks her tongue out when she is concentrating--and I do, too. Maybe it's just another sign he is a part of our family...
