Whoa! How big is she now?

Well, go figure. The adoption agency told us we wouldn't get any more information about Althea's size before going to China. Then today, we just received an update!



It seems she is now . . .
  • 26.7 inches tall (taller than we expected).
  • 17.6 lbs in weight (a bit bigger than we expected)
  • 17 inches around her head
  • 17 inches around her chest
  • in possession of 2 teeth
  • and 4.72 inches in foot size!
Now, we're finding that last one kind of hard to believe. Get out a ruler and imagine feet almost 5 inches long on a nine-month old baby! I guess we should plan on her having excellent balance.

And for those of you really paying attention--yes this is another picture of her. I call it her "mug shot," while Andrew has dubbed it her "oh no, goodness" picture. It is not new, it's also from January when she was only 4 months old.

We should be able to send new pictures of her in 20 days! June 26th is definitely scheduled as "Gotcha Day!" Woo hoo!
