Photo Friday ;)

That was the subject header in the email sent from our case worker today. Winking face included. And sure enough... here was the picture that was attached!

What a sweet, sweet surprise to get an updated photo of our baby! She has grown so much in just the two months since we last got a picture. Her hair's gotten longer. The email also mentioned that she gained two lbs. and two upper teeth since March! This now brings her to two teeth on top and two on bottom.

Her outfit is so colorful and adorable. Our case manager pointed out that she's wearing her signature polka dots, lol. And lOOk! She's holding on to the Sophie giraffe we sent her last month! That is so endearing. I can't believe she's actually touching and holding the same toy we sent. Her little hands are so cute. I love the way her fingers are holding onto Sophie. I hope she's enjoying it and gnawing on it to her heart's content!

We had a rough start to the week but like I posted then, I just need to look out for the rainbows. And what do you know, God sent an amazing one our way today! Thank you, Lord! Seeing her picture renewed and refreshed my soul. My heart still deeply aches to be with her and that won't change until the day we are with her. But it's just amazing how an update or her picture can put a HUGE smile on my face and simply make my day.

I wish we could have "Photo Friday" every week! :)
