Need a Then and Now Picture Parade PLEASE!

I was just thinking that there has not been a pic parade in a while with referal pics and NOW pics. I tried to find sone of the old ones but had no luck. I would love to have a pic parade to look at with the weekend coming up and I am getting really close to having a referal pic myself!

The first two pictures are Kaylee's referral pictures. The third is Kaylee at 2 1/2 months. The forth she is around 7 months and the last picture she is 9 1/2 months.

Just noticed the pictures didn't come out in order. Oh well I am sure you can tell which is which.

then and now...

I can't get our first pic of our son uploaded, but here he is at 3 months and then today, just about 11 months old. Even with a sinus infection he is a happy little guy.

PS the pictures showed up out of order... I uploaded them in the correct order. Sigh... So, the baby pictures he has a little bit of yellow in his outfit. The December pictures he has the blue sweaterlike outfit, and the February pictures, he has the Noah's Ark outfit on.

I had to share since Jacob seems to be an "elder" among all these babies!

The first pic (if they show up in order) is of Jacob at La Casa Grande on Adoption Day - November 7, 2002!! (We didn't get his referral pic via email - we had to wait to get it SNAIL MAIL - and boy that was quite a wait... OK, we only had to wait OVERNIGHT, but it still seemed to take forever to get it!!)
The next two are from our visit trip the first week of March. Isn't he going to be a GREAT big brother!?! I can't wait!

OK, I can't leave our baby girl out!
Here is her referral pic and then one we got TODAY! It is from her 3 month check up - she gained THREE POUNDS (my dear hubby is convinced it was from all the good feedings he gave her when we were there!) and a whole inch in length this past month! She is up to 11.5 lbs and 56 cm (21.8")
Cerdita!

OH!! And check out the little sombrero on her bow! I TOTALLY cracked up!!!

**The pics obviously came through out of order! 3 month pic first then referral pic...

PS What adorable babies we all have!!!
