I guess this is a bit of a teaser but I really don't mean it to be. We received an update with pictures of Bebo yesterday and is he ever sweet. The referral information we received was over 14 months old so we requested for updated information. I actually thought it would take longer to receive as we are finishing up are home study next month. We have not sent in our LOI/EA as our agency like to wait until our home study is complete. I actually thought we'd receive the update with our PA. So when I opened my I e-mail while on the phone with my husband and saw that our FC e-mailed with the subject "Update" I about jumped out of my skin!

We know that his height is 45in, weight is 45.5, and feet is about a size 12 in the US. He has 20 teeth and I so hope we can travel before he looses any baby teeth. I'd like to take a couple of pictures of him smiling before that happens. It won't be the end of the world but some thing I'd really like to be a part of.

The pictures the orphanage sent are ten times better than the ones we had with our referral. I swear they dressed him in brand new clothes. I don't even think they washed them yet as they looked stiff with the crease down the pant legs. He just looks so serious in ever picture I've seen. I can't wait to see him break a smile. He has grown so much. Like I said the pictures were old and he looked like a toddler and now he looks like a little boy. :( He is sweet. :)

A few other items we learned - he loves to eat meat, eggs, foods made with flour and fruit. He like to watch cartoons and play with toy cars. His favorite colors are dark colors such as navy blue. Think he'll like this bedding?
Where it looks like it is light green it is actually a tan and green but the tan is more dominant. I really hope he likes it. Any idea on what color to paint his room? We are open to suggestions.

Want to see some stats. Here are how my three little ones measure up next to each other as of right now.

Bebo - age 6.3

Height - 45 in

Weight - 45.5 lbs

Spitfire - age 4.8

Height - 41 in

Weight - 42 lbs

Twink - age 3.3

Height - 37.5 in

Weight - 36 lbs

They are all almost 4 inches apart in height and a 1 1/2 apart in age. I really think Twink will be as tall if not taller than Spitfire at some point. I did measure Dash and he was 55in and he weights 68lbs. I won't put Jewels info on her as she might kill me! LOL I can tell you she is almost as tall as me and she is LOVING that!!

We are longing even more to go to China. Praying things start moving for us.
