More Pictures of our Angel (2nd visit today)

Oh my! This angel is so beautiful and we got her to laugh and giggle tonight! This giggle is so contagious!! She was hugging on us and loving on us and we loved every minute of it!!
See what a little love and a hair bow can do for a girl? So sweet!

Making silly faces with Daddy!

She loves kisses and she giggles the whole time!

Zoya can bear weight on her legs with a little help!
She can sit up on her own too (kinda)...a bumbo seat would help lots!

A tired Mama and a tired Zoya!

She loves making noises and fishy and kissy faces with her mouth!
Okay, enough pictures already!

She kept doing the "drop the toy" game and cracking up every time she dropped it!

I still can't believe how smart this girl is! In our visit tonight after only a few times, she was signing "more" to get a toy back after we took it away! Every time she heard one of the kids at the orphanage cry, she would stop everything and look very concerned and turn her attention to where the sound was coming from.  At one point one of the kids was getting in trouble :( and she started shaking her head no and looked upset.  It was definitely hard to leave at the end of our visit and she had a grip on me and did not want to go back! I don't have any idea how I'm going to leave her for the 10 day wait. 

Going to try to upload a little video in a bit! We are exhaustd and are starting things at 8am tomorrow morning....we still are in need of prayers! The tough judge we heard about is actually not here anymore! Maybe your prayers worked!? However, there are 3 men judges that will possibly take our case.  We should know beginning of next week.  1 of the 3 is very tough and has even asked for 3 court dates instead of 1 with adopting families and has sent them on a paper chase, which has caused things to take longer.  We are praying we get one of the other judges!

  8. I am so very happy for you and Shawn. She looks so good. I can't wait for Grandma to see the pictures on Sunday! She has really filled out. Have you figured out what her sizes are yet? Today is a very special day!!! After you saw her I bet the tired feeling didn't even bother you! It certainly doesn't look like there was any fear of either of you. We will keep praying that everything goes smoothly and the judge lets her come home w/ you in a couple of weeks! We can only pray for this!!
