She is a Peanut!
Friday while I was enjoying my last cup of coffee in Chicago with Bridget, I received a surprise email from Emme's Guardian Angel in Yangzhou. She sent us a little gift from Emme. Four photos of her out celebrating "Children's Day" and the "Dragon Boat Festival." I love this first photo.. It looks like she is in the "Priscilla's of Boston" in Yangzhou City! I have no idea why she is in a boutique, but it makes me smile. She is going to fit in so perfectly here!!!! It is such a blessing to know that she is experiencing life outside of the orphanage! This second photo is for Jeff... While she is not holding a fishing pole, it sure looks like one. It is actually a duck egg! She explained that all of the children eat glutinous rice dumplings and salted duck eggs for safety and peace! I am assuming this is one of their Dragon Boat Festival traditions.
Lastly, I received updated measurements of our little peanut! She will be 3 on July 24th. Emme is only 33.5" tall, and 25.3lbs! Her little foot is 5". It's time to get her suitcase packed!!
As we wait for our TA, (which we expect in mid-July) we are busy preparing for our precious new daughter and sister! Emme Jade we are so in love with you!!!!!

She is SO cute! And she is a peanut! can't wait to follow your journey to China!
What a Precious Peanut! So excited for you all!
My daughter, Olivia, and I just flew in from Chicago yesterday! A week of fun and shopping. Go Cubs! What a fun game Tuesday night!The lake was just beautiful, however, the wind was so cold. We caught a cab for Macy's as soon as we landed to buy jackets.I got tickled at Olivia, she insists that the red cabs drive faster and request them at the hotel. Oh your little one is so CUTE! How can you stand it? I know you are so ready to share life with her!She was made for your sweet family. Can't wait to follow your journey on the blog. Next time you are in Chicago with the girls, try the Art Museum, we enjoyed the room of miniture furniture with historical doll houses.-Joy
she is beautiful. We just got back from Chicago too. Wish we knew you were there, it would have been great to get together. joy
Such wonderful pictures and she is super adorable!
She is amazingly ADORABLE!!! Not helping me get rid of the desire for another china girly. :) O.K. I don't think I will ever get rid of the desire, just praying my husband will jump on board soon.
Can't wait to follow along on your next China trip.
Her size was right where Hudson was at 2.5 when we got him. He was 33 inches, 23 lbs and size 5. 18-24 months clothes. Now at 5.5 hei is still tiny and is still wearing 3T in bottoms... He has a long body so he can wear 4's and some 5's on top.
She is sooooo darling!!!
So very beautiful!
I know you can't wait to hold her.
Blessings,
Robin
D,
I just took Darci to her 3 year check up and her weight was 26 lbs, height 36" and her foot measures from heel to big toe 5 1/2". I said all that to tell you Darci wears a 6 or 7 in shoes depends on the maker. Clothing - pants and shorts from Gymboree 18-24 months. 2 or 3 if they have adjustable waist and again it depends on the maker, tops she fits in 2 - 3 again depends on the maker. Hope this helps with American sizing. =) Cannot wait to follow another journey.

I smile every time I see your sweet Emme! Love every picture of your little peanut! Hoping that TA is right around the corner!
