WooHoo! We had requested an update before we travel, but hadn't really expected to receive one. The SWI's (orphanages) over there are all really busy with the new year and with trying to get everything ready before the Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations begin on January 23. Actually, everything begins the week prior to that since most people are going to travel to get home for the Lunar New Year. So, we were quite surprised to get an update complete with pictures this morning!
In all the other information we've received prior to this, she has been weighing close to THIRTY pounds! Not! I know that in China the children are weighed with lots of clothes on, but still... She seems like such a peanut. So we are happy to find out that she really weighs only 17 pounds - just right for someone her age. Now I can finally wash the size 18/24 month clothes that I have. I've been holding off taking any tags off things just in case she really was a size 3T!
AND - in the update it stated: "She likes climbing from her own crib to others'. Because she wants to play with peers in other cribs and play with their toys." Read: Extremely active and social!
