Updated Measurements

Today Ann from Red Thread China (the wonderful lady who is arranging my care package delivery to the orphanage) emailed me with new measurements of Ella which she obtained from talking to the orphanage director.

At almost 14 months old, Ella is now 28.75 inches tall and weighs 20.9 lbs! She is definately growing since the last measurements which were taken on 9/2/08. She falls at about the 25th percentile on the American growth charts, which isn't too bad. Just for a comparison, Ian was 31" tall and weighed 23 lbs at the same age. I'm very pleased to see that she is growing at a somewhat predictable rate and seems to be thriving.

Now if only we would receive our Travel Approvals so that we can make travel arrangements...
