Our baby boy is 15 days shy of turning 3 years old and he is the size of a SMALL 9 month old; it breaks my heart.
"According to the World Health Organization growth charts for children under 2, the average 9-month-old boy weighs about 20 lbs. and is about 28.5 inches long with a 17.5-inch head circumference. The lowest percentile, which would indicate that a small baby boy is at 16 lbs. and 26 inches with a 16.75-inch head circumference. The top percentile, which would indicate a large baby boy, is at 25 lbs. and 30 inches, with an 18.5-inch head circumference."
Jadon is barely 28 inches tall, his head circumference is 17 inches, his feet are 4 inches long and he MIGHT weigh 15 lbs. MIGHT! His waist is just 17 inches around as well.
My peanut, is a wee tiny peanut. And, today's outfits, really showed it.

Katya told us today that we will have court either Thursday, Friday, Monday or Tuesday. Shawn is saying Thursday...I have no inclination one way or the other.
Love,

He is so tiny. But you know what, he will have the rest of his life to live and grow as he should with his new family. :-) Court so soon! That is fabulous. What is the time frame after court? You just keep loving on that boy. I bet he is growing (definitely in his heart anyway) just knowing he has a momma and daddy now.
You guys are such an inspiration!! I love hearing and seeing your pictures/stories! Jadon is such a beauty!! I'm so glad that the time has come so you can bring him home and give him such a better life!!! Love you guys!!
Don't worry, once you get him home he will fatten up SO FAST! That's what happened with Lily! It's unbelievable how fast they catch up once they are getting all the food they need.
Well we just have 2 sweet little peanut boys!
Carla

he is so adorable! and you will have him "fattened up" in no time once you get him HOME!!!
He is so stinking adorable! I love that he is comfortable enough to fall asleep with you!
He is just so precious...and he will get big so quick once he is home. I will pray court is sooner than later, lots of love and prayers coming your way!! Hug and kiss that sweet baby boy me :)
I agree with Jess- the moment he gets home he is gonna take OFF. He won't be wearing those lil peanut clothes for long. ;)
Praying court is Thursday! I had no idea he was almost 3. Alayna turns 3 on Sunday. WOWIE they are close in age. He will put on the weight once he is at home!
Zeb will be three on the 13th of this month. He is 30 inches and 20 pounds. And I need to buy him some 6-12 month leather baby shoes. But he has learned SO much in the three weeks that he has been home.
Enjoy watching him blossom right before your eyes.
He is SO precious, Christie! I am loving all the pictures, and my favorite in this post is the very last one. *melting heart* I can hardly wait to see how he thrives in your family!
***Beautiful*** pictures! It IS sad he's so small, but he will catch up!!!
