Mei called this morning with the measurments! She still has to translate the rest of the report. We do know she doesn't have any teeth and likes to play with a dog (real or stuffed we don't know)! Her measurements and the doctor's comments are below. She is very small. Her head size is still a concern but we have a complete peace about her being part of our family. I did a little research and she's probably in a size 9 months clothes right now. I'll post more ASAP. Thanks for your prayers.
Height 66cm (26 in.)
Weight 7.5kg (16.5 pounds)
Head 42cm
Chest 43cm
Foot 11cm
Mrs. Wilkerson:
Assuming these are current measurements done at 11 mo's of age:
Lillie's growth shows a typical amount of slight lag in weight and height (wt is 3rd% now, and ht is just a hair below 3rd%). This is typical of living in an orphanage and is of no concern. Her head circumference is a little better but still below the 3rd% (but it is closer to the 3rd % than before). I don't see anything new in the photos to comment on other than that her face is filling out nicely!
Please keep me posted on your progress! I look forward to meeting you all at some point if that will be possible.
God Bless,
David Douglass, M.D. For the Children International Adoption Medical Services

The height and weight sound about like what most of the babies were in my travel group. All were in the 10-11 month range at Gotcha. Our daughter was over 20lbs but she was considered "Large" for an Asian girl at that age. She went by Yang Yang and the translation of her characters for Yang meant "BIG".
