We received an update on Jadyn

We did not get a new picture, this one is from our original information, but we were able to submit some questions.  We got them answered!!
Can we please have current measurements?
height:76CM,weight:12KG,head circumference: 49CM,chest circumference:50CM,feet:10CM

Is she still on formula, from a regular bottle or a cup?
 formula

Does she have any medical or special needs, aside from her original information?
No.

Is she on any medications? If so, what are they?
No.

Has she had any illnesses?
No.

Is she able to walk?
Walking by holding one hand.

What words can she say?
Nainai (grandma), Gege (big brother), mama.

What makes her angry or upset?
Things that she does not like.

What do you do that soothes her or calms her down?
Hold her and distract her.

What is her favorite toy?
Music toys.

They will provide new development report in a few weeks.

We are currently waiting on our I800 application to be approved.  When we receive that, and then another notice from another USCIS entity, we can submit another bundle of red tape to get this process moving along.  Thankfully, this part is all pretty predictable, and unless OUR government agencies start to process these papers faster, it will take about 30 days until we wait on the next step.

We have ordered a care package for Jadyn through http://www.redthreadchina.com/.  It includes a photo album of our lovely faces, so she will at least have some exposure (ha, pun intended) to us before we meet her, and some cookies and candy for the kids and staff where she lives.  We are hoping that we will be able to get some updated photos of her through this service.

This is all becoming so real.  It's sinking in now.
