Well we just got back from the SOS clinic Baby Larrick’s check up. The results were like we expected them to be. He weighed 16 lbs and was 72cm. He has all the normal delays for being in an orphanage. He needs to get a lot more exercises for his legs and sitting up. We will work on this with him everyday while we are here. We know once he comes home and we have more time with him he will bounce back. We also know with all the support we have behind us that will help him leaps and bounds.
We will see him again tomorrow I will update more after the visit. Thanks again to everyone family, friends and our adoption group friends for all of you support and loving thoughts.

Yup - sounds "normal" to me and you are right, as soon as you start visiting him every day you will see such an improvement. And wait until you get him home, totally different child. :)

He sounds 'normal', you will be amazed at how quickly he will improve withyour visits & yes, once you have him 24/7, he will start putting on the pounds & be a different baby. :)
Sounds about right to me! Haven was only 13 pounds at 9 months but noww she is 30!!
I was telling Brad that you guys were in Kaz right now at Karakastek adopting a little boy and he reminded me of the time right before he left that they brought in a baby and he was 1 day old. He left on May 20. Sounds like maybe it could be Baby Larrick. I have some pictures of newborns from that trip, you will have to look through them when you get home to see if you recognize any!! That would be nice to have a newborn pic of him!
Congrats on meeting your little boy, can't wait to see him!@
