I definitely remember going through the baby picture thing with my girls. We do have the referral picture and the ones on trip1 where he was about 10 months so those should do fine. I was never asked for a newborn picture. If we end up adopting again and he's older, I'm not sure what I'll do. I suppose we'll discuss how to handle it with him. I've even heard of using somebody else's newborn picture. I don't know if I could go that route or not.
As for the survival skills, Hunter has pretty much most of those but has never really had any trouble that I am aware of. He acts a lot like a boy version of my (I wasn't called the Tiny Tornado or Terri the Terrible for nothing!!!) The competition and self-sufficient thing don't fit, but he did make my dad come back and eat in the kitchen when we were there.
