We Got New Pictures!!!

...and measurements

Today we got updated pictures and measurements of Tyson! This is HUGE since the last data and images we have of him are over a year old . We got two pics; the 'panda pic' I'm posting here and his 'spot-on Richard Nixon imitation' is over in the sidebar.

He has grown up sooooo much over the last year; he is looking much less like a toddler and more like a little boy. Melissa and I are crazy with excitement as we actually know how tall he is and how much he weighs. Want foot length? We got it. Want chest circumference? We got that too. So now we have a good idea of what will fit him and what won't. There's still quite a bit of guess work but it's a lot more than what we had to go on yesterday. The panicky word from Melissa upstairs is that almost everything we got for him is too small. I think we've got a pair of flip-flops that will fit him. Oh well. One more trip to Kohl's, I guess.

So, without further ado, I give you the latest measurements on our son!

Height: 97.5 cm (38.4 inches)

Weight: 16.5kg (36.3 lbs)

Head Circumference: 49.5cm (20.5 inches)

Chest Circumference: 53cm (20.9 inches)

Foot Length: 15.5cm (6.1 inches)

There is both Joy and just a little bit of Sadness in today's news. As exciting as the new pictures are, they also remind us that we have lost another formative year in our son's life. Yesterday, we couldn't imagine what he would look like a year older, so he remained in our minds a three year old hugging a pink pony. Now, we see what we've been missing and it makes our hearts ache to go get him. He is getting so big and handsome. On the positive side, Lord willing, he will be with us on his 4th birthday. How cool is that?

Now I REALLY can't wait to meet you, little dude!
