I love pictures day!

Here is new pics. of my sweet girl. She will be 14 mo. old on the 16th. Her last Dr. visit in May she weighed 18 1/2 lbs. She has about 6-8 teeth now. When I went in April for her 1st B/D she only had 1 tooth but I could tell 4 more were coming in. She is now walking! WAAAAAA! I am missing everything. I want her home so badly I can't stand it! We are 13 1/2 months into this adoption now.

She is a beauty! I can't even imagine being in-process that long, I certainly hope you fly through PGN and bring your baby girl home, where she clearly belongs.
