Gong Jing Man (Gong is the family name of orphans in Fenyi County SWI, Jing means quiet and Man means full), female, was found abandoned before the gate of our institute at 5:10 am on 12-22-2005 by our staff Ren Xiaoping. We found her birth note and knew she was born on 12-14-2005. She was registered as an orphan of our institute and foster in the institute.
She is always developing well. She had round face, dark hairs and bright eyes, seems so lovely. When she was firstly sent here, her weight was about 6.6lbs. Her umbilical cord just fell down. She adapted well to bottle-fed way. She drank milk every 2 hours and 60ml per time. When she was 1-month old, her weight increased to 8.8lbs. When she was 2-5 month old, to make sure she could get all necessary nutrition, we added lots of snacks for her, such as fresh fruit juice, cod-liver oil,vegetable soup,yolk,rice soup, mashed vegetable,etc. When she was 6-7 month old,she could stretch hands to get the toy far away from her and turn over in bed. She could also sit alone for a short while and say "BaBa (dad) , MaMa (mom). When she was 10-12 month old, she was sensitive to her name, she could burble and sit alone steadily. She could stand up and walk while being propped, wave goodbye and welcome. Imitate adults, point out or say her needs. When she was 13-15 month old, she could walk alone, pick up dropped things, say "Ayi" aunt", point out eyes, hands, and head. She knew the names of things she saw frequently, such as electric light, shoes, socks, etc... She is gentle and quiet, clever and cute. She likes to go outside to play with her friends, watch the running traffic, and passerby. She likes taking shower and eating fruits and biscuits.
She eats table foods, but would have a cup of milk and some cake in the morning and before going to bed. She mainly has milk paste, con gee,noodles,and oatmeal at breakfast and lunch, and has rice or steamed cake at supper. She is not picky at foods. She can eat 200g per meal, and she likes fish, meat ,egg, and all kinds of vegetables. She has 1-2 stools each day. She sleeps well and would wake in the midnight for potty, then sleep through to the morning.
Her current weight is 19.8lbs, height is 29.16 inches, head size is 18.12 inches, chest size is 18.12 inches and foot length is 4.73 inches

Still walking around on that cloud? I don't think there is any feeling more exciting than receiving your referral, especially after such a long and emotionally exhausting wait!
I left you a note on referral day telling you that our daughters share a birthdate.
I wouldn't plan on Natalie being potty trained just yet (unless her SWI is one that puts babies on the potties starting at really young ages). Likely though, that even if she is PT, she will regress back to diapers when you get her. That first couple of week is really stressful for the kids, so she will likely revert back to infant-type behavior.
We have three older sons (onein Jr. High & two High Schoolers) and now our sweet Katie is almost 21 months old. We are having such fun with her (I cannot believe we've been home for 10 months already).
If you're interested in seeing our family, email me (get my email addy through my profile). It's an invite-only site.
I'm so excited for you!

Oh, I forgot. Don't count on getting younger pictures from the SWI or agency.
There may be pictures of Natalie "out there," but your best bet is to join the Yahoo group for her orphanage/SWI. If you do (or already have), ask the parents who have traveled in the last year or so if they have any pictures of the other babies.
Another thing is to get a copy of Natalie's "finding ad" through Brian Stuy. We are glad we did that, as our Katie was only 3 months old in the picture. We don't have any pictures from 3-6.6 months (when her referral pictures were taken), so that finding ad one is really precious to us.
Oh, one more thing. If you join Natalie's SWI Yahoo group, ask if anyone is traveling in Sept. or Oct. If so, AND they travel to the SWI, they might be willing to ask if they can take a current picture of her (we did this, and were so thankful to the precious family who took the pictures). It's not of Katie as a tiny infant, but it's a part of her life that we hadn't been around to take pictures of.
I'm so sorry for these LONG comments...
