Baby is Growing Up

 We have been so so blessed through this adoption to watch our beautiful Ainsley grow up in pictures. This is so different than with Andrew {AG doesn't really count..we saw her and a month later held her} We saw a referral picture of Andrew that was taken in January in May, we saw NOTHING else until the day we finally met him in that crowded Beijing Hotel hall the next January. Oh, how crazy the difference in a year made. He didn't look like the same child.

With Ainsley, We saw referral pictures that were taken in March...we said Yes in June and got updates that same week. {Some updates I will NOT be sharing on the blog..for our privacy and for one day Ainsley's}

Referral picture.
I am not going to share the June updates...once we are home, maybe.

OH how different our baby looked. We received pictures taken in April of our sweet girl in June as well. Then in July we received precious pictures of her in a shirt that we sent her...and then TWICE already in August pictures. It is so crazy to see how Ainsley has changed over a few short months.

It just makes me want to hold her that much more.
