I forgot to post the update of Ruthie Joy. Busy, busy busy is my only excuse. We are now on day 40 waiting for our LOA YEAHHHHHH!
Anyway, back to the report.
I love reading this report. God's plans are perfect and wonderful!
She can sit up and crawl, stand up with support, can hold on to railing when held under arms, she may walk alone in the future, yet very likely the deformity of her feet would affect her walking and motor function. (We believe she will be walking before we get to China. I will post this week about why Ruthie is considered special needs).
She is in rehabilitation at present time and is using diapers all day long. ( I am so thankful for her therapy)
She gets along well with caretakers and other children. She likes being held and every time when held, she would hold on the caretaker's neck with cheek to cheek. (Oh my, I cannot wait to be cheek to cheek with sweet Ruthie!)
When playing together, sometimes she grabs other children's toys while sometimes hers may be grabbed by others, however, she will try to grab them back as otherwise she will cry. (Perfect fit!)
Her nickname is Huan Huan which means Joy Joy. SMILE
She loves cookies and candies and uses a bottle. (Sweet tooth ~ just like daddy and Grant)
She cries when she is upset, hungry or being bullied by other children.
She stops crying when comforted. She will cry if she is not the first one to get her meal. (happens just about every meal here at home with at least one child)
She is very bright. (Just like her mama ~ LOL)
I just adore her! and do I really have to wait? Are we almost there?

Ruthie Joy sounds absolutely perfect!!! I love how the name they call her means "joy", just like the middle name you have given her. We discovered in China that part of Lilly's given name means "hope" and that is her new middle name. We had no idea when we decided on her name the meanings of her Chinese name.
So thankful you received such a wonderful update!
Sweet! She is so adorable!
I'll go with you now!! Let's just go! Please?
She does sound very sweet!
I love the report!!! Sweetie!

Hugs
Hi Ashley, I found you on RQ when I was searching for a question about GA fingerprinting. My husband {youth pastor} and I {home school mama} have two daughters {bio} and one Thai Tornado son {Bangkok '08}. We are in the same neck of the woods as you {I guess, relatively speaking maybe!} and I loved reading a few posts of your blog. It's always so encouraging to find believers who are walking the same road you are.
Our son in China is 15 months old with 5 heart defects and a limb difference. We are in the thick of the paperchase right now. Wishing things could be faster! lol. But, it's all in God's capable hands!
Nice to "meet" you. You have a beautiful family!
Awww, so fun to see Kam over here. I followed her to Thailand :)
Love the update on your Ruthie!! Can't wait till she's home and wearing Ruthie Pig Tails with the other girls!!!
Thank you Ashley! So great to hear from you! I looked for an email addy for you...would love to get to know you better. Maybe we are close! Starbucks? Pumpkin Spice Latte? or even a Caramel Apple Spice? Yums. I'm game! Here's to hoping our woods are nearby. :)
