We received our updated information on Leilani today. We were excited to see her new pictures and especially to see her smile! She still looks very happy and that gives us a lot of comfort knowing she's doing well until we can go to bring her home.
Her new measurements were:
Height 73 cm = 28 inches
Weight 7 kg = 15.7 pounds
Head circumference 43 cm = 17 inches
Chest circumference 43 cm = 17 inches
Feet 12 cm = 4.75 inches
Teeth 10 !
I plotted out her growth on a Southern Chinese girls growth chart and she is somewhere between the 5-10th percentile, so she's a little peanut (or pumpkin at this time of year). If the measurements are accurate, she is wearing a 6-9 months clothes size and size 3 or 4 shoes.

  1. Hi,

    My little Feng Jin Zhi from Fengxin had the same measurement or very close at 15.5 month this summer.
    Height:73 cm
    Weight:7.5 kg
    Head cir.: 45 cm
    chest: 43 cm
    feet: 11.5 cm
    Teeth: 8

    To helping you in China, she was wearing 6-9 to 12 months clothes and size 3 for shoes.Now, she is 19 months and still wearing 12 months or 18 month(sometimes) and her shoes is 4. She is very small but in good health and so smily!!! I think your little Leilani looks like my daughter!

  4. OMG, she is tiny! That is why she looks so lost in that sweater. Looks like she has on a grown-up sweater! Gosh she is pretty. Won't you just love scooping her up?
    Are you going to "wear" her?
