They estimate D's birth day to be 6/27/09. She is almost 6 mos old!
She was 10.8 lbs on 12/7 and 24.5 inches long. Not bad considering she probably was not getting fortified formula, or formula at all. She'll start growing like mad now though! Parents caravan formula over there when traveling. L took 8 cans for me to put in the kitty.
Her hair is probably short because they shaved her head to control/prevent lice.
She is from Djimmah (Jimma), a city south west of the capital Addis Ababa. It is in this region where coffee was discovered and Jimma is a trade center for coffee. See the map on my "coffee" post below. We will try to travel to Jimma when we go to get D, although she is now in Addis.
J and I keep going back and forth on names. When we had A we were RELIEVED he was a boy for the singular reason that we could NOT agree on a girl's name. So we'll have to get back to you on that---because Bronwen is RIGHT OUT!
