After you receive your LOA (letter of acceptance), our agency can request an update. They tell us to not expect it for at least 3-5 weeks and sometimes people never get one. I didnt believe them and thought it would come sooner! I checked my email starting a week later, ALL.THE.TIME. Then after about 3 weeks...I sadly quit. I felt like I was never going to see a new picture of her before we went to get her.
One afternoon about 5 weeks after our request, we finally saw her face again! She had changed so much! The last pictures of her, all her hair was pulled back and she looked so different with her "bowl cut"! :)
They told us she is walking and she understands what is being said to her. She can say a few simple words and she can take her shoes and socks off! I wonder if she will be just like her brother Kullen and take them off in the car!! ;) They also said she is active and outgoing! They call her Mei Wei. Calling her Mayleigh wont be too different for her! The name resemblance still amazes me!!
They also gave us her size. She is 22 lbs and is 30 inches tall. When we compared those stats to Kullen when he was 18 months...they were actually very similar. Kullen also was 22 lbs at 18 months. They are both little. That only put him in the 5-10 percentage on the growth charts! Kullen was a little taller than Mayleigh at 32 inches. It says she has a tiny foot....between a size 4 and a 5. But that works perfect. All (and it's a lot) the shoes I have bought have been 5's! The shoes and boots are hard to pass up!! They are all soo stinkin' cute! :)
We can't wait to get to her and find out all about her ourselves!!!!! Enjoy the pictures!!
