Look what I got! It was taken yesterday, and I can’t believe how big he looks! He’s lost that chubby faced roundness of babyhood and he’s lookin’ like a toddler all of a sudden! And after having some concerns about his ability to use his hands, we are so happy to see him playing with a little toy. Even his feet look great, we were expecting him to need more casting that big brother Jude did, but we’ll have to wait and see!
We are SO thrilled to see him looking so good (even if he IS growing up with out us.. argh!) Soon, little one. SOON!! Mama and baba are coming for you 🙂

Stefanie,
He is SO adorable. I’m so happy that you got this great picture of Shepherd! I know it must make the wait to leave so much harder.
I can’t wait to see a picture of him in your arms!

He is so adorable!!!!!! Oh my goodness, I just want to snuggle him. 🙂 I hope the next couple of weeks go VERY fast for you!!!
How precious! So wonderful you got another picture. Soon…. soon….
Wow what a cutie. He’s feet look pretty good and he looks great holding the toy. I bet you are one happy momma. I look forward to following your journey.
Gosh, he really does look like a little man now, doesn’t he? He is so handsome and I can’t wait to hear about the moment you first lay eyes on him!

So sweet, soon he will be in your arms!
Stefanie,
I can’t wait to see you fatten up those skinny legs! And he looks like he is doing great with that TINY toy in his hands! He is so adorable!
Such a happy and content expression. I’ve always heard (old adoption wives tale here 🙂 that the expressions on the pictures will give you the best clue as to their personality. If there is any merit here, I think you have a mighty sweet little fellow!!
Gosh! He really does look big. I cannot WAIT to see that little guy in your arms! He’s a handsome guy!!! What a blessing to get an updated picture!!
What an absolute doll!!!!! I am sure the next two weeks will fly by and he will be with you before you know it!!
What a precious picture of your sweet baby. He looks so healthy and happy. What a comfort to see him I know. I pray the next days seem to pass fast and you are holding him forever!!! Have a great weekend!

Oh my gosh he’s grown so much!! So adorable, cannot wait for you guys to bring him home!
Oh my goodness look at his sweetness! He is getting big, can’t wait for you to go get him!
In just a few days, that cute little guy will be in your arms. I can’t wait to see it!
He is just HANDSOME! He is starting to look more like a toddler … that was the one thing that made me a little misty-eyed with Raegan’s last pictures.
You will be HOLDING him SOOO soon!!! Can’t wait to read about that Day!
Stefanie,
Another blessing on your journey to Shepherd!!!! I am so happy for you! He just keeps getting CUTER!! Soon, you will be the one taking the pictures! I can’t wait!

Can you beleive that he will be with you in a matter of weeks? ITs astounding how things all come together its just like the miracle of giving birth!
You are one lucky duck, what is the trick to getting so many photos of your little guy?? I have tried and tried to no avail to get some pics of our little guy.
It is a little (lot) comforting for a momma in waiting. Really though Shepard looks GOOD!! So glad you get to go soon!

WOW he is getting so big. See you in China!
Is this cutie in YuanLing? Same outfits as the kids there had on last year when we got our Avery. Checked out your blog from a link on someone else’s. Happy Travels, Janet in AL
Yup, he’s a keeper!! It won’t be long now. I’m doing a little happy dance for you, Stefanie!
Oh my gosh he is adorable!!!! What a cutie pie : ) I am speechless!!! He is just too cute for words!
Oh Stephanie! He’s so dang adorable! I’m really excited that he’ll be coming home soon!
Donna
WOW – what a big boy! You must feel ever so proud & anxious to squeeze him. Great photo…
OOPS! I meant “Is he from Guangdong City–not YuanLing” Got my kiddos mixed up–and I only have 1/2 as many as you=). I was curious and went back to the origianl post,yep, Guangdong City.
We were there last Aug. Good luck

He looks like he is doing so very well! How wonderful to receive an updated photo so close to travel!
He looks great! I bet you can hardly wait to get your hands on him!
Wow, Stef, what a nice surprise!! And he HAS changed!!!! What a handsome boy. He definitely looks less “baby” to me… and growing strong & looking very happy & content!! Gotcha Day can’t come soon enough…
Love,
R
He looks wonderful, Stefanie!! His hands seem good, and he looks strong and healthy! Not long now, little man, and you’ll have your mama and baba.
