WE GOT AN UPDATE ON BEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






here's what we got from the SWI:  (cut and pasted after our agency translated)

Medical/Development:
Ning Yuan’s current health is good.
He can sit up by himself, stand holding onto something, and walk around in the walker.
He can imitate the sound of baba, mama,  jie jie.
He is not yet potty trained.

Personality:
He is outgoing and smiles easily.
He is living in the orphanage. The staff calls him Yuan Yuan.

General:   
Sleeping and meal schedule -                   
Sleeping time: 10:30pm-6:00a m
Nap time: 12:00pm
Mealtime: 6:00am, 10:00am, 2:00pm, 6:00pm, 10:00pm        
He eats formula mixed with rice cereal and congee.

additionally, he is currently 30.7 inches tall and weighs 18.9 lbs!  he's HUGE!!!  although, the little red block in the photo of him sitting should not look that large - we JUST sent that to him, so we know how big it is.  so, these measurements *might* not be accurate.  also, there is some question about whether his right arm is fused at the elbow at 90 degrees.  in one photo, that arm is bent.  in the other photo, it does not appear to be as bent as much or at all...  maybe he is just in a huge jacket?  there is clearly no heat in that SWI.  but, there isn't in most small SWIs, so that is not really a surprise to us.

so great to see his little face!!!!!!  WE LOVE YOU, BEN NING YUAN!!!!!!
