Ana Mei Seidenkranz, our precious little chubby girl!Keep in mind they bundle up the babies so she has a lot of layers of clothes on.
She is now 18 months old. This is her at 13 months. At 14 months, she had 3 teeth, is a deep sleeper (yes!), weighs just under 20 lbs. (not sure if they are counting the clothes), and has happy expressions. Rarely does anyone receive a referral photo of a child smiling or looking happy. Our Ana Mei is smiling and looks happy! We cannot wait to hold her and see the changes that have already taken place.
It is common for the institutions to place an IV in a baby's head when they are sick. It appears that they have done this prior to the photo as it looks like her hair is shaved in the front.

I love how they bundle the kids up so they can barely move. It always makes me laugh. She is a doll. congrats.
Congrats!!! We look forward to following your journey! My sister and her family are moving to Brentwood in July.
Another possibility for the 'partially shaved hair' is that often in the summer months the Chinese believe if the 'bangs' are shaved back it will keep the babies cooler.
God Bless you as you travel to the other side of the world!
Kind Regards,
Susan.

Susan,
Thanks for the insight on the shaved head. I love your website and your kids are beautiful! It's late and I'm traveling so I didn't get to read everything yet, but loved scanning and looking at photos. Brentwood is very close to us. Is a job bringing your sister here? Take care. Kris. BTW, I've seen the davidclapp website and it is wonderful!
Yes, actually her husbands job. It is with United Health Care. They should close on their house sometime during the 4th of July time period. We are thrilled to have them back in TN as they are moving from Iowa which was ~14 =/- hours from us. Now, a 4 hour drive sounds wonderful!
We will follow your journey with great excitement and maybe someday meet in N'ville to let the China "Cousins" get to know each other!
Take Care!
Susan
