6 month post placement visit

Today is Ellie's 6 month post placement visit. We have two visits with our social worker. One at her office and then one at our house. Today Jeff and I will be going to her office with Ellie. I have typed up all of her medical/therapy appts since she has been with us and it totaled 3 pages! I have a couple more to add as she will be seeing the developmental pediatrician this coming Monday and then has her 6 month follow-up at the IAC ( International Adoption Center ) the following Wed. It is amazing how the time flies! Ellie is really doing great. I will be approaching Boone County about helping us pay for speech services over the summer next week so if you could all pray that is goes well that would be great. I would love to see her continue to improve in speech and really think she needs more than the 1x/week that our insurance will cover. But speech is pricey and we can't afford to cover it out of pocket and with school out she will be missing the additional 2x/week that she currently goes. We also have to have 5 pictures for the social worker for our 6 month visit. 3 of the pictures are just of her and then 2 with the whole family. We don't have the family pictures yet so we need to get that done...either by setting our camera up ourselves of having someone take a few of us. None of our family pics are that great as Ellie is either trying to get down or crying in most of them and we don't think that we be a good picture to send back to the Chinese govt!
