Sophie is 1 year 5 months old
Since we are now waiting on our Travel Invitation, we decided it would be a good time to get an update on Sophie, so we put together a list of questions and sent them to our agency coordinator. She's wonderful about translating questions for us and staying up all hours of the night to talk to someone at the orphanage. Remember China is 12 hours ahead of us, so while we are sleeping, they are in the middle of their work day. This morning we woke to an email back from our agency with answers to our many questions from Sophie's foster mother. And as an added bonus, we have a picture of Sophie holding a picture of us! How great is that?!
Current Measurements:
Height: 75cm (29.5 inches), weight: 10.5kg (a little over 23 lbs, gained about a pound) , head size: 48cm (~19 inches), chest size: 50cm(~20 inches), length of her feet: 12cm(~5 inches - Her feet have grown a good bit!), number of teeth: 6 (She has cut two teeth!)
Sleep Schedule:
She goes to sleep at 9:00 p.m and gets up at 7:00 a.m. (Sounds like she's a good sleeper!) She takes one nap a day, from 12:00 noon to 1:30 p.m. She goes to sleep easily. When it is time for her to go to sleep, she only needs to have a cloth in her hand and she falls asleep on her own without having to be rocked or drinking a bottle (I may have to rock a little anyway after we get home!).
Eating habits and schedule:
She is not a picky eater and likes all foods. (Yea! I was worried I was going to have to learn to make rice and fish congee!) She likes rice, noodles, rice porridge(congee) with minced meat in it, fruit, corn, crackers, candy. She doesn't like vegetable very much. (What kid does though, right?) She takes a bottle after she wakes up in the morning and one at night before bed.
She has started walking on her own. She calls "Wa Wa" for father. She babbles a lot.
We also hear that Sophie did receive the care package we sent her a few months ago. We are so relieved and hopeful that we will seem somewhat familiar to her since she's seen our pictures.
Praying for TA!

Glad to see she is growing. Can't wait till you have her in your arms.
How is it possible for her to be even cuter? So happy that you will be with her soon.
