More information

Ok, here are some other facts about our little sweetie. She is in Guiping, which is in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Guangxi is located in southwest China between Guangdong, Guizhou, Hunan, and Yunnan provinces. It shares a border with Vietnam and has a southern coastline along the Gulf of Tomkin. When we travel to get her we will be staying in the city of Nanning, then in Beijing.

When she was born she was 19.3" long and weighed 6.4 lbs. At the time of her check-up in October, she was 24.8" long and weighed 15.6 lbs. We are told that "She is a very optimistic little girl. She will cry out loud when feeling unhappy, but will calm down quickly. She will laugh out loud and yell when feeling happy." We noticed that the word "loud" is mentioned a couple of times-- she should fit right in with our other kids! Her report also says that she has a very ready smile, is a deep sleeper, and is active. Her favourite activities are outdoor ones, and she likes toys. She eats milk, rice panada and bone porridge (sound yummy?). She also eats a little mashed apples and bananas.

We can't wait to meet her!
