New Pictures!

This may be my favorite post so far because we finally received some updated pictures of Kailyn!  And she is cute!!  Also, this morning I was able to send the care package after getting the Chinese characters for her name that I had been waiting on.  It took a couple of days because after we got the LOA there was a holiday.  But now the Letter of Acceptance and the i800 (Petition to classify Convention Adoptee as an Immediate Relative to Homeland Security) are out the door and so is her care package!!  She should receive the package in about 2 weeks.  It will be 6-10 days to get to China and then Ann at RedThreads will forward it on and it will get there in 2-3 days.

This little girl is tiny!  I have been comparing her weight and height to that of my boys and she is several months behind.  Even now at 14 months old, she is just starting to grow out of 9 month old clothes according to the information that we have.  But that is pretty typical of Chinese orphans and it is also pretty typical for them to start gaining more weight once you can get them home and you spoil them with just about whatever and however much they want to eat for a while (not on junk of course:)  We can't believe that it is likely that we will be traveling in 3 months or less!!  The next news we'll hear from China is when we will travel!
