An Unexpected Update on Daniel

We received a surprise update on Daniel. The orphanage sent us some pictures and updated us on his status. Here are the pictures:



Daniel is 16-months-old, has 8 teeth, weighs 16.7 pounds (I'm sure with all his layers on), and is 28 inches tall. He is an extrovert but has anxiety around strangers.

In addition to some other information, the orphanage informed us that they discovered he is allergic to protein. Specifically we were told: "He is allergic to protein, such as formula. He will have some rashes, especially on legs and neck."

We have requested our agency to see if they can find out what kind of proteins he is allergic to. In the mean time, we will simply enjoy looking at our little guy.

Daniel's name is Qiu Lin, pronounced "Chew Lynn". His name means "Autumn Forest" (since he was born in the fall). We have decided to name him Daniel Qiu-Lin.
