Baby Steps

 
This is Bri writing for today(: Ainsley has adjusted amazingly and we praise God because of His beautiful work. Thank you for all your prayers and encouragement, they are a blessing for all of us! This morning she finished off a bottle and had another bottle at lunch time. We are so glad that she is getting food in her little body! Another stepping stone for us today was walking. Yesterday, she wasn't sure about it and just wanted to be held. But today was a different story, she took off walking and pulling Ellie behind her. It was adorable to watch Ainsley not let go of Ellie's hand and walk.


 

 

If you look closely in every picture Ainsley holds on tight to her keys. The day we met her, we gave her the keys to play with and she will only let go of them when she sleeps or eats. She rarely lets go of them. In fact, she is holding them as she sleeps now. Everyday presents new things for little miss Ainsley, a hotel, a pool, a restaurant and much more. After all the paperwork was finished for the day, I was more than happy to cuddle up with Ainsley and a book.


To quote Ellie, "I'm so glad she is my sister!"
