A Few Facts about Gigi

So how about a few facts about Gigi. Here's what we've learned from the documents provided by her caregivers and physicians in the orphanage, prepared when she was a year old:

The data everyone wants to know about a baby: she's 67 cm tall (two feet, two inches) and weighs 6.7 kg (about 15 pounds). That puts her at the very bottom end of the respective development percentiles--just like her sister Cleo.

She's reported to be normal developmentally, with no known medical condition. However, it's common for girls in her circumstances to be somewhat delayed and occasionally to have undetected but treatable conditions.

"Fu Yan is a gentle and quiet girl." She is said to have learned very early on to observe others in the nursery, as if thinking "It is really a shame of you to cry all day long."

Favorite food: rice porridge.

One of her preferred games, at one point, was pulling off her socks, then smiling devilishly when scolded. She's said to be stubborn sometimes.

Not that her father's reading too deeply here, but here are some facts about Gigi's mother:

At just less than five feet, she's on the small side, even by Asian standards.

Amy's gentle spirited, except when not. Quiet and devilish, indeed.

By choice, she ate nothing but rice in college--still prefers a one-course meal.

Amy stubborn? Not at all.
