Introducing Baby Linton!!!!!!!!




Isn't she adorable???? We love her already!! Love that frown!! We can't wait to see her smile :)


Chinese name: Long Mei Jin
We thought we had a name picked out for her, but now that we have seen her cute little face we want to think about it for a few days. We will most likely keep part of her Chinese name as her middle name but we want to research that a little as well (who named her and what it means). So more on her name later.

Date of birth: April 4, 2007. She will be 13 months old in 2 days.
She is from the Guangxi Province and is currently in the Cangwu County Social Welfare Institute.

As of December 12 she weighed 17 pounds and was 27 inches long.

She has 4 teeth.

She is described as a moderate sleeper, can hold her head up while on her stomach, she can roll over, grasp toys near her hand, sit alone steadily, crawl on hands & knees, locate direction of voices, transfer block from one hand to another, look for a dropped toy, distinguish between a stranger and someone familiar, fond of playing with toys, quick in reaction, ready smile, laughs out loud and is sometimes impatient and restless.

She is so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!It's been such a long time coming...I'm so happy for you! I've been reading your March 6th blog for weeks now in hopes it was almost time. YEA for the Lintons!! She is a very lucky girl- and beautiful (if you hadn't already thought of that!)
I'll keep checking back. Call if you're able when you're in Oklahoma. Love you and miss you! All the best, Michelle

We just got LOA for our daughter from Cangwu and will travel in June. I have a report from china babies about the orphanage. There are only about 20 babies there with 8 caretakers. They will not allow you to visit the orphanage on this trip. I have talked with others with children from the orphanage and the children seem to be very well cared for. Congrats and let me know if you need any info.
