Three-month-old Candi has curly black hair, dark brown eyes anda round face. She's gained almost three pounds in the past fewmonths.
Candi is a contented child who smiles often and has a gooddisposition. She loves being cuddled and enjoys her baby swing.
When Candi goes shopping with her foster mother, she doesn'tfuss and is easy to handle. Candi is an alert baby. When she's onher stomach, she's able to turn from side to side and to support herupper body with her hands.
Right now Candi is fascinated by bright, moving objects. She isable to hold a rattle.
Candi has a healthy appetite and takes 5 ounces of milk at atime. To the delight of her foster mother, she's sleeping more hoursduring the night.
At birth, Candi tested posi- tive for cocaine. Although tests continue to show a trace ofcocaine in her body, most of its side effects have subsided.
At birth, Candi was placed on an apnea monitor to watch herrespiration, as a precaution. She probably will be removed from themonitor at six months.
Candi's caseworker said: "Candi is a good baby. She needs atwo-parent family; however, a single parent will be considered."
