Libby Song Foote:    DOB: November 23, 2006

Her first birthday will fall on Thanksgiving Day - How appropriate!

Chinese Name:  Xu (shoo) Fan

"Xu" is part of the name of her orphanage, so it was given to her as a last name. Together, Xu Fan means "gentle sail". She was born in a coastal town so this makes sense.

Province: Guangdong

Orphanage: Xuwen (shoo-win) CWI

As of March 29th (approximately 4 months of age) Libby weighed 12.8 lbs and was 23.6 inches long. Her head circumference was 15.3 inches and her chest cir. was 15.7 inches.

According to her medical transcripts she is perfectly healthy!

She is said to be a deep sleeper (hooray!), active, restless, likes music, can hold her head up, can roll over, follows the sound of someone's voice, knows her name when she's called, visually follows a moving toy, laughs aloud (can't wait to hear this), quick in reaction, has a ready smile (I prayed for this), and is close to her caretaker.

The rest of her biography still needs to be translated.
