More pictures and additional information
- Posted by Michael on December 31st, 2008 filed in Waiting to Travel
We received our FedEx package today with 2 more pictures and a little more information. First the good stuff:
Here is a little more about her:
She wakes up at 6:30 am (so much for sleeping in), takes a 2 hour nap at noon, and goes to bed about 7:30.
She eats 5 times a day, has a good appetite, an is not picky (she will fit right in with us 
). She is eating noodles and mince meat and also still takes a bottle. I am sort of glad about the bottle thing, at least for a little while because I know it can help with attaching. She likes playing and is energetic. She can walk holding on to stuff but I think by the time we get her she will be walking on her own.
She is a tiny thing, the Chinese growth charts put her at 10 percentile for weight (US chart is under 3%) and under 3% for heigth. Her head circumference is in the 25 percentile.
Thank you Lord for this gift you have given us, for the patience and strength you have given us to wait this long wait, and for matching us with our daughter, not just a daughter, but OUR daughter. He has a plan that we don’t know but He is wise and He gave us this little girl for a reason… and she does just melt our heart

Love the new pictures. Her schedule tracks on about what our Ava is doing – except we moved bedtime to 8pm so we could get a little extra sleep in the AM. Hopefully that will work for y’all, too.
I can’t wait ’til you go get her and bring her home where she belongs!!! Please keep updating the blog so we can follow along.
