Well she sits up, she eats Cheerios and those fruity puff thingys, she won't touch a bottle or a noodle. She is a little sick and coughing, but we met a doctor at dinner time and she listened to her chest for us. She said she didn't think I should give her antibiotics unless she runs a fever or gets worse. 
Her chest scar looks great. She has a huge belly and is cute as a button! She weighs probably about 20 pounds and is in size 12 month clothing and a size 3-4 shoe. She can bear weight on her legs but not walking or crawling yet. She hasn't cried yet for real, just a wimper here and there. She is baby babbling and playing with toy rattles. She is perfect :)

I love them all!!! Yeah Straight Family
She is so adorable! Sarah Beth is sitting here with me pointing at the computer voicing her approval. What a perfect addition and what affirmation that the label in her clothes said Straight. Love how God does even the smallest of things to show his love and care for us. What a incredibly smooth gotcha day-we could not be more excited for ya'll. The boys and Shelby and have changed so much in a year. Everyone is growing up. Wish I could pinch those cheeks in person!
Congratulations to and God Bless the Straight family of 6!
I am so glad everything went well. I am praying that it continues to, even after you arrive back at home.

What a beautiful new baby girl! "Straight Faith"--the essential element to receiving your precious little Faith Straight!. We are all so excited and proud for you. Can't wait to see her in person! Donna and C.J., you are sure to be richly rewarded in blessings beyond measure both here and now and when you meet the Lord Jesus face to face!
Your Noonday Family
LOVE the bathtub picture! Skinny little Shelby will get her up and running soon!
SO happy for you! She is beautiful and everyone looks great. Can't wait until you get back home. Congratulations!! God Bless.
Love, Jen
Congrats to all of you, what great pictures and smiles! What are they feeding those kids in Guangdong? Maybe Lucy's has takeaway service to the orphanage!!
Caleb, Travis, and Shelby
I sure do miss you guys. Have fun with your Sister Faith. Can't wait
for you all to be home. Do you think Faith will like Nana's chicken and dumpling?
Donna and CJ enjoy this time with your children. Looking for more smiles. Sheila tks again for being
there. All my love Nana
What great pics! We are so happy for you and can't wait for you guys to get home.
God bless you all!
Shelby is already ready to take care of her for you. She is absolutely precious and Faith is such a cute perfect addition to an adorable family. Straight Faith = Faith Straight Wow that is really cool. Can't wait to see those chubby cheeks here in the states.
Love

She is darling!!! I am so glad you had a great first day. Let's keep em' coming!!!!
She is sooo cute and Shelby looks like she is doing great as a BIG SISTER. I had a feeling we would see a smile after you got to her and it's a sassy smile. You guys have done a great thing by adopting this little girl. Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip. Let Travis know I think he is an Awesome big brother and a trooper.
oh wow she is a cutie pie!!!! I'm so excited to see Shelby taking her under her wing. I am also glad to see Faith's big smile in the pictures. Can't wait for you all to get back home!
Oh Donna, she's beautiful!
Don't be surprised if Shelby really starts acting jealous and extra needy. Katie did, and needed a whole lot of Mom time while we were in China.
I'm glad to say, however, that she and her sister are best of friends now, and there's lots of room on Mommy's lap for TWO girls!
Ask for help when you need it. Make sure the boys and Dad understand that both girls are going to be especially needy for Mom and that they need to be "in tune" to the girls' needs now, more than ever!
Congratulations on your 2nd beautiful daughter -- what a beautiful family you have!
God bless,
Kelly (mom to three teen sons, two toddler daughters -- only 11 months apart in age!)
She is just precious congrats guys we are so happy for you. Looking forward to meeting her when you get back.
Eric and Tiffany

Sweet Faith will be crawling in no time at all! Her big brothers look so protective and Shelby is certainly one proud big sister!
I can't wait to meet Faith!
Tina
I'm sure you are so glad to touch her in real life! Hey CJ it look like you're a hit right off! Tell Caleb and Travis that Blaze and Adam keep looking at the pictures to see what they are doing. I said, "Look guys, there is baby Faith." And they say, "Look there is Caleb taking pictures." Or "Theres Travis" I guess babies aren't as important to them. They are enjoying seeing you guys with Buzz Lightyear! And stuff like that. They miss you guys and can't wait till you get home. You'll have to have mom take your pictue with some gross food! Or something cool like that! They will be watching for you! Chris
