New Pictures!

Wednesday morning we received a long awaited update on our beautiful daughter including these three new pictures.  We were surprised by how Ashlynn has grown since her last pictures in early November.  She is now 16½ pounds and 27½ inches tall.  She is not crawling yet but she stands and takes a few steps holding someone’s hand.  According to the update from the orphanage, she is eating milk with rice flour, noodles, soft rice “with various nutrition soup” and steamed egg custard.  Her personality is described as “quiet, gentle and likes other people to make her laughing”.  
The orphanage has not yet received the package we sent on February 1 but our agency tells us it is not unusual to take longer than the 10 days the post office predicted.  Hopefully our package will arrive soon and Ashlynn will be looking at pictures of us.
We continue to wait for our I-800 approval from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services. We've received notice that our application has been accepted but we expect it'll be a few more weeks before we receive the approval.  We're so glad to have new pictures to admire while we wait.
