Anderson's 1 month check up

Anderson went for his one month check up today with Dr. Montiel and we recieved some pics this afternoon from his visit I wanted to share. He has gained over 2 1/2 pounds in just 1 month! Not a little bean anymore. We will be visiting all 9lbs and 7oz of him this Friday. We are leaving for Guat. Thursday evening and we can't wait to meet our son. He will be five weeks Wednesday. Here is Anderson.

What great pictures! My son gained 3 pounds each month for his first few months. Your son must have a very loving foster family that cares for him very much.
