Drum roll please…
We are thrilled to introduce our beautiful daughter, Élan Mei Xia MacDonald Huen, born November 4, 2006 in Suixi County, Guangdong Province, China! Mei Xia, her middle name, is the name given to her by the orphanage where she is currently being cared for. It is pronounced may (Mei) ha (Xia) and means beautiful summer.
At birth she weighed a healthy 6.4 pounds and was 18.5 inches long. By all accounts she is developing normally. At 1-2 months she could see moving objects and bright colours and would wave her hands and leg
s excitedly if a toy rattle was shaken. At 3-4 months she was able to roll onto her stomach and could move herself to the side of her crib where she would reach across to try and touch the baby in the adjoining crib. At 5-6 months she was grasping objects tightly and watching the going-ons around her. At six months she weighed in at 15.4 pounds and was 26.2 inches.She i
s a fan of dim sum and prefers her food a little sweet in taste. She is her baba’s daughter! Her favorite toys are a rattle and blocks and her favorite activity is playing with other people. A good sign we think!Unfortunately we don’t have any details on her development after six months of age, when her medical was done for the purposes of placing her for adoption.
We’re already smitten as can be and can’t wait to meet her sometime in November!
