FedEx delivery, signed, sealed and on the way to delivery.... and a baby update!

This morning I sat in the living room so I could hear with the FedEx truck arrived with our oh so important adoption papers.  I was to the door faster then the delivery lady (she was a bit scared of our neighbors dogs).  I forgot the camera... (many adoptive families photograph the delivery driver) but oh well.  We rushed to Jeff's office for him to sign the forms, went home to make copies and then off to send the originals back to our agency and the copies along with other documents to the USCIS.  All this accomplished by 1:30 PM!!!

While I was waiting for FedEx, I received an update on our precious Myah.  This is what we learned:
Her head 42.5cm = 16.5 inches and 25% on the Chinese Growth Chart
Her chest 45cm = 17.7 inches
She is 71cm long = 28 inches and 30% on the Chinese Growth Chart
She weighs 8.5kg = 18.7 pounds and 75% on the Chinese Growth Chart
Her foot is 11cm = 4.3 inches (size 3 or 4 in baby girl shoes)

She can make many different sounds. (That is music to my hears, as some cleft babies can't make sounds)
She will smile to the nannies she knows and wants them to pick her up.
She can roll over, sit very well alone, crawl, stand up by holding something.
She can grasp toys and pass toys between 2 hands. 
She is a very active and happy baby.
She gets up around 6:20 am (we will work on fixing that!)
She then plays outside for awhile. 
Breakfast is around 8 am then off to physical therapy.
Lunch is around 11 am.
Nap from 11:30 to 1:30 pm. (just like her big brother Sam)
Bottle at 2 pm and snacks at 3 pm.
Bath at 3:30 pm
Dinner at 5 pm and then play time with the other kids.
Bottle at 8 pm.
Bedtime at 9 pm.
Bottle at 4 am (I WILL CERTAINLY WORK ON FIXING THAT ONE--- YUCK!)
She sleeps fine at night (except for needing a bottle at 4 am).
She has 3 meals of soft food every day, 3 bottles and one snack.  She loves to eat fruit!

What a great day of news.  Our agency thinks we will travel in 6 to 8 weeks!  LOVE LOVE LOVE knowing that the time before we get our sweet Myah is getting shorter!!!
