We have been in a whirl wind around the Thomson house! On Friday February 19, our SW came and presented Lauryn to us formally. Then our letter of intent was approved by China.
We are now waiting for our dossier to be approved and the ministry of Ontario to approve us specifically for Lauryn. We have our first doctors appointment for Lauryn on March 23 at 11:00.
Here is some information on our girl, Baby Lauryn!
Her birthday is July 12, 2008
She is in Guandong Provice, Shantou City (sp.??)
Her Chinese name is Xiaoxia - pronounced shousha, translates to little shrimp!
She is about 20lbs and 30 inches tall.
She loves the water.
She loves to play outside.
She is cooperative when getting dressed.
She loves company, and will cry when a nanny at the orphanage takes kids away from the playroom (ahhh!)
She is closest to her caregivers. They describe her as a lovely child with a ready smile!
She is a moderate sleeper - interesting... Mommy and Daddy are both DEEEEEEEP sleepers!
She is sometimes impatient and obstinate.
She is active, and can walk when one hand is being held.
She rubs her blanket against her cheek when sleeping. Kyle does this too!
She says "Oh, Oh!" like only a precious almost two year old can!
She knows what NO means! haha!
Her favourite toy is a doll that she cuddles in her arms!
She likes to play on the swings.
She likes to eat fish and veggies, milk paste and congee.
She loves to imitate.
When playing, she will sometimes put a box on her head and giggle!!
She likes to be teased!
Kyle and I are over the moon in love. The support from our family and friends has been amazing! Thank you one and all for making this time so filled with joy!
Thanks especially to my Mom and Dad. We have been up many a night talking about how cute everything she does is.
To my wonderful husband who has never worked harder. You are the light of my life, I am so blessed to be sharing this with you!
Hopefully we will travel in a couple of months to bring our girl home! WOW!
Keep Happy
