And....

its a boy feet
He's one years old, big round eyes, sweet puckered lips and every time I look at his picture I cannot stop myself from smiling (and it's one of those big goofy, I'm so in love, kind of smiles).

HE. IS. PERFECT.

Lord, please bring this precious Ethiopian baby of ours home fast!!!
