Pictures from CHI, The Maeda & The Hubbard Family ****edited

Today I received this picture below of Nyla Hanna from our agency along with her most current height and weight measurements.

Height 103 cm (40.55inces)
Weight 17 kg (37.5lbs)

Then shortly after receiving the email from my agency, we received these two pictures and the video below from a traveling family (Thank You So Much Maeda Family) who also picked up their child at the House of Hope where Nyla Hanna is residing. I was sooo happy. This truly made my day!!! She looks wonderful, her cheeks have puffed up a little and she smiles .... oh, how this warms my heart ..... and it seems her molluscum has cleared up a bit, but has travelled elsewhere probably on the body. In either case, I already have two different creams (Crystacide and Zymaderm) to combat the molluscum, the first for anywhere on the body except close to eyes and mouth, and the second for anywhere on the body even on the face. So we'll have to see .... both creams had to be ordered from overseas and I'm so glad that they have already come so we can take them with us. Other than that .... isn't my daughter beautiful!!!!

Following is the update I received from the Maeda Family:

Here are two photos of your ADORABLE little girl! I only got two photos because it was hair-washing day when we were there! Right after we took these photos, the nannies had her run and get her comb and after taking her pony tail out she sat down with one of the nannies and got her hair washed! She knew exactly what to do and leaned way over so they could rinse out the soap in a little tub they had set up. She sat very patiently while they combed her hair out. I wish we could have videotaped it, but there were other children there getting their hair washed at the same time and we couldn't videotape them.

Hope you enjoy.

Of course I enjoy and am happy about everything I receive of my little girl. I can't wait to be the one to do her hair. She just seems like such a mellow easy-going little girl - just like her Dada (he too is very mellow, laid-back, and very easy going ) .... well, we'll see if I am right soon enough (hopefully in 2 weeks) .... but for now, that's the impression I have of my little girl.



Then later tonight I received these two pictures below from The Hubbard Family who also picked up their son at the House of Hope where Hanna is. Thank you so much Hubbard Family!!!

This has been a wonderful day .... filled with updates, pictures and video. Thank you all so much!!!

Gorgeous!!! Updates make the waiting so much more tolerable....
though, in other ways, they pull at your heart strings even more. Ugh.
