This morning as I was getting John dressed, he was happily shrieking and carrying on, and I asked him "Are you talking?" And he said "No, screaming". Oh, I stand corrected.
Here's some more info on Snezhanna. Deb faxed Rhonda the medical sheet. (That's how her name was spelled on the sheet, with two n's. A Ukranian patient where Rhonda works said the Sne- is pronounced like Snay.)
The sheet lists her birthday as September 1, 2001. Not sure how that would affect schools, as I think the cutoff is sometimes Sept 1. So, maybe I'd be less hesitant about changing her b-date to August 31. (if she was born earlier in the day, it would've been Aug 31 here anyway.)
There's no info on her till she is 6 months old, so Deb speculated she might have been with her birth mom till that point. In July 2002 she is listed as having pneumonia and a couple other things I don't recognize, and in Nov 2002 she is listed as having chicken pox and giardia.
In January of this year she is listed as being 17.6 lbs, and 28 inches. That's quite bigger than John was at that age.
Under development, it says appetite good, sleep calm, behavior active. She started to walk independantly at 14 months, she plays with toys, imitates careataker's actions, but not very active in speaking yet.
Some of the other things on there seem to be the usual Russian orphanage diagnoses, like perinatal encephalopathy, delayed development, etc... It does mention rickets and atopic dermatitis.
Given her name, and if we do get her, we've decided to go with the name Hanna, to keep that part of her name. Rhonda wanted to give her a middle name of Emily. (Not named for anyone, Rhonda just liked that name since she was little. named her dolls that, etc...)
(Oh, I did get the garage door fixed. The blinking light meant something was funny with the obstruction sensor, and I looked, and one of them was bent way down. Don't know if John pushed on it or what when they were out that day. I bent it back up and it worked fine again.)
