Care Package Sent to Tegan

On March 15th, I ordered a care package to be sent to Tegan. On March 21st it was received by the orphanage.  Included in the care package was a toy, blanket an outfit for Tegan, a camera for the caregivers to take photos of his life at the orphanage plus a letter thanking them for taking great care of him and asking some questions.  Also included, were candy for the kids and staff and several shirts as a donation to the orphanage.

One week later, March 28th (mine and Jason's 20 year dating anniversary), we received an e-mail from the courier we used with answers to the questions we asked. Here are some of the things we found out about him:


He is called Ai Geng by his nannies,but sometimes they will use Shanghai language and call him  "MO MO" (I believe it is pronounced mua mua and means affectionate, but that is the translation I found, not theirs)


The orphanage staff hope this child can keep Chinese culture.


He likes to eat candies and cookies ,because normal the orphanage staff will not feed him too much candies or cookies ,because that is not good for children teeth...Ai Geng is not picky with his food ,he likes to eat whatever nannies give him

He is a little shy in new place but he is quite outgoing under his familiar places !!

He likes somebody to play with him, he does not like to sit in his walk by himself.

We were also told that at 21 months old he is 32 1/4 inches tall, and weighs 26lbs.  Height wise he's about the same height Angel was when we brought her home, at 22 months old, but weighs about 2lbs more than she did (though that could be due to the multiple layers of clothes).  

This will help us track about how big he should be when we bring him home.  Especially since his medicals included all the well baby check up measurements beginning at 10 days old.  He has kept a pretty consistent growth rate.

Can't wait to get him home!!
