Current Measurements But No Pictures

We received Carissa's updated measurements today but not a current picture. I guess we have to wait until we get there to see her. I converted her measurements and she weighs 21 lbs. and is 28.7". She will be one years old in two weeks so she isn't a tiny little Chinese girl. She is about the same in weight and height that Ryan was at one years old. If any of you knew him when he was a baby, he was a little chunk (not a big chunk but a healthy chunk). Several friends had told me to get 9-12 months clothing but I hadn't purchased too many until we knew her measurements which I am glad. She is at the end of 9 month clothing charts and beginning of 12 month clothing charts so she seems to be right where she should be. I will post more information as it gets closer. Only two weeks and one day!!

We met our little girl from Yueyang County on Sept 16th 2002 at the Dolton Hotel in Changsha. She is now 6 1/2 and flourishing. Her measurements were similar to your Carissa. The babies from Yueyang, especially the city are usually very well taken care of. The babies on our trip 6 years ago were so well taken care of that I don't think any even had any developmental delays. I hope you have a wonderful trip! Enjoy every moment of it.
