It's a girl!!!

After a false alarm with a UPS truck, the FedEx truck finally came at 9:50am.

Our somewhat reluctant FedEx guy posed with the package.










Chris was able to come home from work to wait with me. Check her out! I think she is the sweetest thing I've ever seen.

I think she is dribbling in the photo on the right - and note, she is using her left hand AND looking up. Look out R-MC? Va Tech?





This one makes me sad. You probably can't see it here, but she has a tear on her right cheek (her right, not your right!). Click on photo for a bigger version.


Mug shot - taken around 13 months. Gotta love that hair!




Okay, her stats...
  • Her name is Zhan Wei Ling (no, we haven't decided on a name yet)
  • Born 7-29-2006 (around 15 months old)
  • From Zhanjiang CWI, Guangdong Province
  • At 13 months, it appears that she was 18 pounds, which on US charts puts her at about the 5th percentile (not certain of this).
  • At 13 months, it appeas that she was 73.3 cm long, which would put her between the 25th and 50th percentile for height on US charts (again, not certain)
  • Deep sleeper (I think they say this about all of the babies!)
  • Knows her name when called
  • Laughs aloud (that's a good thing!)
  • Has a ready smile
  • Expresses her refusal in a simple way (wonder what that means?)
  • Fond of music, picture books, games, and toys

For everything else, we will have to wait for the translation because I can't read a lick of Chinese! I'll post more when I get it - but this is about all we have for right now.

Congratulations kenney's,
Thats awesome and she is beautiful. Nicole's vote is we now go and get one (a baby) for ourselves, megans vote is to trade CJ in for one and CJ's is vice versa...big shocker. We are very happy for y'all and can't wait to see her.

Mark, Tracey and Kids.

She's beautiful - and the tear is heartbreaking. We also just received our referral and the tears in our little one's eyes just make my heart ache.

Congratulations!

She is beatiful! I think I have visited your blog 5-6 time since yesterday just to see her cute face! Ella and your sweetie can be good friends since they will be about the same age! How cool is that? you will be staying at the White Swann and within walking distance to a Starbucks! Life is good! Maria

you can have Mr. Lee at Peking translate the documents. He did both of ours and he really loves to see pictures of the girls!

January would be great, too. Are you coming here? Or should I start packing?
