Yesterday it was 6 months since we met Elizabeth. Here is a quick photo review just to remember how far she has come! This is PROOF that God still performs miracles!
This was the first time we saw her....bless her heart she was so scared!
Sitting in our hotel room with this sad face....about an hour after meeting each other.
Morning after Gotcha Day....this is what depression and shock looks like on a toddler....
At finding place, she is still so sad, but allowing us to care for her more & more
4th of July in China, 1st day in Guangzhou, 1 week together
A couple of days later....we see more spontaneous smiles
This is a "break through" day. We see lots of playfulness, more affection.....attachment is getting stronger.
July, 1 month together, 2 weeks home
August, 2 months together
September, 3 months together
October, 4 months together
November, 5 months together
December, 6 months together
Pictures are worth a tousand words!
