Up-date on Meizi Meilin's growth and development on day 30 of our wait for our letter of acceptance;-);-);-)

We received a wonderful gift today!! Our up-date on Meizi Meilin's growth and development! I'm even more in love with her after reading it;-) She is tiny, 17.6 lbs and 29" inches, at 18 months, but I know she will catch up quickly once we get her home and on solid foods. She is eating mostly rice cereal and still on formula bottles.
She is a good sleeper and falls asleep on her own after her bottle and is crawling, sitting and walking on her own! She has 12 teeth!! We will be taking her to the dentist as soon as we get home and start brushing her teeth as soon as we get her. I know Jade Lin will be a big comfort and help to her with this. She can show Meizi Meilin how to brush her teeth by example. Meizi Meilin is saying Mama and Baba (Daddy) in Mandarin and follows simple instructions. She loves toys that make noise and is active and outgoing and loves playing with the kids in her class, which makes me think they must have some sort of preschool class in the orphanage. I was disappointed that we didn't receive any new photos but I'm still hoping we receive them.
What a great surprise and blessing to receive this report on our 30th day of waiting for our letter of acceptance to adopt her!!
Mama and Baba love you so, Meizi Meilin and can't wait to hold you in our arms, sweet little angel!!
