Tupelo's First Months and Year

We received a CD of pictures, of Tupelo and some of the other children, from the orphanage staff. The first is when she was only 1.5 months of age. All are irreplaceable, with meaning beyond what we can comprehend now, as they will provide her with a glimpse of the first 18 months of her life in China.
It left us with a lot of questions, too. Who is the girl she is sharing a crib with? Was that just for play (or sleep too)? Did they teach these teensy things how to dance together?
How did she fall and bruise her face?
Despite this all, she had moments of happiness:

Wow! Amazing that you were able to get these pictures! They are priceless and I am sure Tupelo will be grateful for them when she is older.

What a blessing! We were also given a CD and I know how it feels to look into the eyes of your sweet daughter through those pictures. Incredible! The photo of her with her little friend is precious. Captured moments of happiness bring such a wave of emotions, too. These are wonderful!

Wow, sweet and heartbreaking at the same time. Sigh.
