New photos & update on Audrey!

We were very excited to receive updated measurements & 2 new pics of Audrey yesterday from Ann with http://www.redthreadchina.com/. Ann lives in China and has a care package service for adopting families. We ordered a care package with her last week to be sent to Audrey. She has been wonderful to work with and seems to care so much about these children. We hope to meet her in China.

The care package includes a blanket, PJ's, photo pillow, Hello Kitty doll, 3 pics of us, a disposable camera for the foster family to take pics of her for us, a letter, tea and candy for her foster family, and a red bag to put all her things in. We sent some questions in a letter with her care package and hope to hear something back, but we may or may not get a reply back. Ann is going to let us know when Audrey receives the care package. You can see all the items in it here.


Ann was able to get the 2 current pics of her that you can see above and updated measurements for us. According to what she sent, Audrey's converted measurements are:
Height: 28.35 inches (2'4")
Weight: 16.5 pounds
Head: 16.73 inches
Chest: 17.52 inches
Feet: 3.74 inches
Teeth: 2

Audrey is 13 months old now. According to the size charts I have looked at, she is a size 12 months by height and a size 9 months by weight. I guess we will go mostly with 12 months sizes, and they will just be a little big on her. Her shoe size should be a 3 right now. She has grown about 4 inches and gained 2.25 pounds since March 30, 2008. I think she is a little small (especially in weight) right now, but this is what we tend to hear about the other little ones from China before they are adopted. Her color looks good to us in the pictures (no blue lips or blue color to her skin), so we think that is a good sign. Her heart condition can cause the blue color in more severe cases. We think she is just adorable!

Please pray that we receive our Travel Approval soon. This is when we will get our definite travel dates and plans. We can't wait to hold her in our arms and bring her home!
