Here I am at 8 months!

Paul and I were pleasantly surpised to have recieved an email today from the agency that had a picture and health info for Minsoo! He is exactly average height and weight for 8 motnhs (he wlil be 9 months on the 30th) which is great news.
I am wondering how we were so lucky to have recieved a picture, since the country manager told us just last week we had to request it and we only get to ask once so we should wait as long as we can and as close as we can to the travel time. I really hope this means travel is closer than expected and not that the country mgmr decided to request the info wihout us asking for it. Either way  - we are excited to SEE him! He is getting big!
