New information:
We finally received the translated medical reports from our agency and learned a little bit more about our precious baby. She entered the Lianjiang Welfare Institute on March 26, 2006. When she was found, she was wrapped in a red towel quilt and lying in a box with milk powder and a nursing bottle. Red is the color of luck in China. Her mom obviously cared for her very much!

The report says she smiles when she sees somebody; she loves to tease and be teased with her favorite toy called a “shake bell”, and is not happy when you try to take her toys away. She makes happy sounds, can climb (Oh no!), and turns her head when the nanny calls her name. Her favorite activity is going outside in the fresh air just like we do!

She gets up at 7:00 a.m. and takes two, thirty minute naps in the late morning and afternoon. She’s doesn’t nap long just like her big sister, Emma! She drinks milk powder (I’m thinking this is Chinese formula.) and drinks fruit juice. She likes to eat soft noodles. She has four teeth.

It appears that she is very healthy and loved greatly by her nannies at the institute. We thank them for taking care of her until we can be united with her on May 16th, which happens to be my dear Pop-Pop’s birthday.
