Newly Released Photos of Ayla w/the DiPietros
I especially love this one...she doesn't look like the battered and bruised child some have said she was...
Just a beautiful little girl...awwww
Her little personality shows in her pics, that's for sure...

Well... I agree Ayla was a beautiful girl, and lacks obvious signs of "battery" in this photo, sT!
ReplyDeleteHowever, I also think Ayla looks quite *unhappy* in this shot.
This is not a relaxed child, happy to be on Grandma's lap.
*GABBY* looks relaxed on Pheebs' lap. She seems interested in the book, and getting sleepy.
Not Ayla, though.
This was not a comfortable situation for Ayla, judging by the expression on her little face.
JMO/MOO
She doesn't look happy, but she also appears to be in pajamas and heading to bed. Maybe it was a long day, and she was tired. I think it would be natural for Gabby to be more relaxed with Phoebe, because she's been around her longer.
DeleteI respect your take on the photos though...
Fair enough, sT.
DeleteI do agree that there aren't any signs of photo editing OR bruises, as far as I can see.
The photos of Ayla sitting on Lance's lap (not part of your post, but released in the same grouping of photos by SJ) she also looks.. uncomfortable.
As with the shots of Phoebe holding her, it looks like another adult plopped Ayla where she was sitting for the purpose of photo, rather than Ayla climbed up on the lap on her own.
Again, JMO/MOO!
I think both girls don't seem happy to be on that woman's lap. Gabby seems tired and looks like she is teething by the way her hand is up by her ear. To be honest. That picture looks staged. Almost like they knew to have a couple of grammy photos lying around for the LIP claim. Ayla DOES NOT SEEM happy at all to be on Phoebe's lap. She has the same look on almost every picture. The look of a child trapped and afraid of what injustice will come next.
DeleteIs it just me, or if you have 2 little kids on your lap and you are reading them a book and someone wants to take a picture, don't you TRY and get the kiddies to smile for the camera?
DeleteIt has been said often that Ayla was attracted to the camera. I noticed in every picture, almost, that she is looking at the camera. She obviously was kept clean and hydrated and comforted. She has a sippy cup in just about every picture(shows attention and care) and her little dog is never far from her (shows compassion to make sure she has it even when away from home). Great pics as far as I'm concerned.
DeleteOh pleeeaaaase !!! I can't believe that some people are still trying to dig out some dirt on these photos !
DeleteThanks for posting the pictures. I'm curious about Ayla's doggie. Did it go missing when she did?
DeleteVery true. Ayla looks clean and is in clean and neat clothes. MOST pictures have her with a sippy cup. This appears to be the equivelent of a "binky." It is her teddy bear, or her source of comfort. Not Justin. Not Pheebs. Certainly NOT Elisha. Courtney at least seems to care for Ayla by holding her and relaxing with her and letting Ayla hold her pocketbook in one picture while CR is distracted by something else. CR looks like anyone spending time with her child and her friend's kids. HOWEVER, she won't talk to LE about Ayla. And LE says the people in the house that night are not telling everything. Until I found out Courtney wouldn't talk to LE, I thought she was a great girl, a student, a good mom and a good friend and cared about Ayla and other people's kids. These pictures support it. How can she hold back on information? Courtney, people like you. HELP AYLA!!! Take a deal, take any deal, because when the arrests are made, you won't get a deal. Please! Don't waste your life!!!! Don't let down Ayla! Don't make your family disapointed and please, please, let your child live WITH YOU so you don't go to prison. Get back on track, move on. People love to sympathize with people who admit to making a mistake. We want to see to see all the good in you. You are the only one with family support, an attempt to complete an education and you have a child... no one wants you two to be separated and you can't want that either. You are a good mom. If the deal is off the table, talk to you lawyer or get one. Make an offer. People will forgive you for saving Ayla and keeping your child with you. Your life will move on and people will forget. Your family will have a chance to go back to normal. If you stay with these people, right here, right now? You have no chance. My prayers are with you. It will scare you and it will be hard, but you know what? People forgive the case breakers. Remember the good lord will forgive you if you ask. And don't forget... the good lord doesn't have a check list of which sins are the worst. A lie is the same as killing or stealing. Jesus dies on that cross for all of us. He dies for you personally Courtney. He knew you before you were born and he loved you to death even then. Ask for him and he IS there for you. Pray, talk, think and do what you need to get out of this honey. You should NOT BE HERE. Hugs and prayers to you and your son.
DeleteAyla IS a beautiful girl. Present tense.
DeleteHa. analyze that!
DeleteLet's not forget the picture where Justin is kissing her cute little hand. Yup, you're right. A daddy who kisses his little girl's hand has murder on his mind. Give it a rest people. You're seeing an inside view to Ayla's life with her paternal family. It's absurd to continue to think that he or any of them were planning to kill this baby girl after seeing these pictures. Could there have been an accident? maybe... I'm starting to think there's more to this than we will ever know and all we can do is find ways to help find Ayla.
DeleteYou know what? Courtney is clearly a person that cares for others. She is a college student and wants to better her life for herself and her son. Pictures clearly show her love of Ayla and children in general. This is a woman who sits on the ground without a chair and let a couple kids lean and sit on her. She appears to do this without thinking about it. She loves children, all of them. She is not prejudiced, she is not always spotted with only one child, she loves kids. She has family and she supports them and they support her. My money is on Courtney. She HAS A HEART. She may have been slowly sucked into Ayla's disapearance but she knows Ayla will be found because Justin made sure Ayla could be found so he could collect Life Insurance. CR is is stuck with Justin because he is manipulative, only dates woman who are submissive. It is clear Courtney is a strong, beautiful woman, a mom, a student bettering her life and someone that gets along with everyone. We all pray for Ayla, but can we all pray for Courntey too? She is in an agonizing place. A scary spot that is NOT ALL HER fault. She needs to know that she is loved and prayed for and that she will be forgiven by just asking Jesus!!!! Courtney, forgiveness by the boss is yours by asking. Your son is loved by God and his followers. He deserves it. You deserve and I deserve it too. BOT BECAUSE WE ARE PREFECT, we deserve it ONLY BECUASE JESUS TOOK HIS LIFE TO SAVE US. Do we deserve that on our own merits? LOL NO!!!! But It is there for our taking. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR SON WITHOUT THIS KNOWLEDGE. And Courtney? Remember something else. You are SO welcome at our Baptist Church. You son can attend children's church with my youngest. You will be welcomed, appreciate and loved by all and we will pray and support you. Don't concern yourself with whether everyone will love you based on your circumstance. WE DONT JUDGE. WE are all sinners, otherwise why did Jsuss die for us? In our church, we members and church workers are called a Motley Crue. And we are. Not a single person that is innocent. Anyway, most of us have problems, but we are like a family that can learn more about God. Come anytime. Hate it? Leave. Enjoy the men's breakfast, or ladies lunches? Do it. But the regs want everyone new to feel like they have been there 40 years lol!!! We are family Coutney and we can ensure no one takes away your baby. We can support and pray for you and we want to!!!! Dearest Courtney, relax and please take time to relax, you enjoy it.
DeleteUnneccesary to analyze it because sadly, Ayla is dead.
DeleteReally? I grew up all my life in a baptist church. I love God And we were taught at my church not to judge others. That was God's job not ours. So who made you God? Who gave you the right to judge Justin or Courtney. You are right Courtney is a lovely, strong girl. One who is also smart enough and strong enough to be her own person. One who is very capable of not being manipulated by anyone. One who is a good mom who would never ever put her own child in danger. So Courtney do not worry God knows you. And God will see you through. No matter what church you attend.
DeleteAnd ps Anon 6:39 Should we report you to the police?
In the second photo, where Ayla is peeking through the doorway, she appears distressed, too.
ReplyDeleteEither having recently been done crying, or about to start.
Again, no obvious signs of bruises or injuries, but NOT happy either.
In fact, of ALL the pictures in Selena's submission, only ONE has Ayla genuinely smiling!
In most shots she has a dull look in her eyes, as if sad..or possibly *feverish*?
(IDK, if she was ill in some photos, or not, but I recognize the "mushiness" of a sick child as being similar)
This is in STARK contrast to the bubbly sparkly pictures from her time with Trista and the Reynolds', IMHO.
VtL. I totally agree. Only ONE real smiling pic of Ayla. Ayla seems like an afterthought in most of the photos as they seem to be pictures that Elisha is taking of her own child. What I find ODD, is that a Dip family member posted these photos KNOWING FULL WELL the public would rip them apart. We all know how Justin feels about being ripped apart by the public. The last time pictures like were posted in the news, it was a mistake made by LE with Casey Anthony partying. Why post these miserable pictures now? The family HAS TO KNOW Ayla is not smiling in 99 percent of the pictures. I don't get it.
Deletei don't know if it had anything to do with why they released the pics or not, but i sent out an open post addressed to selena, derek & dirty harry asking that someone, ANYONE post some of the most recent pics of ayla recovering from her broken arm (i believe on the justindidit post.) the next day, new pics were released. maybe it was a coincidence?
Deletethe pics are from an earlier time frame than what i suggested.
i don't think they posted the pics knowing that they would be "torn apart." however i will say this... if you're looking for something, you WILL find it. in other words, you're going to see something there because you want to see something. unless you think they were just posing for pics, this family looks like an everyday family. participating in the activities that my family does & my youngest would've given you those looks anytime she saw a camera!
it is also true that ayla's trademark smile is not there. but how much should be read into that? you cannot use a photographed toddler's expression alone as proof of abuse! aren't we all lucky that that isn't true?
just thinking of ayla her situation: ayla was NEW to the house & every group of people of every age has to spend time getting to know one another and becoming comfortable with living together. consider how uncomfortable children are in a new school around new teachers and all new kids, eating different foods and doing things at different times. how much more uncomfortable would ayla have been when this had become her life 24/7, virtual strangers? everything and everyone she had known and trusted and depended on was suddenly gone.
ayla may have been more cranky than usual. she may not have smiled much or laughed as easily or often, especially in those first few days of adjustment. she may have preferred women (grandma) or people with long brown hair like mommy, etc. i could go on...
She was smiling in about half the shots. Not sure what everyone is talking about? The rest are all candid shots. She was playing not posing for camera. People are trying way too hard to read something into this . She has exact same expression that her father has most times.
DeleteShe kind of has the same expressions my stepson had on his face when he was just getting to know his dad and his other side of the family (we didnt know about him until he was a year old) I mean if anyone made her feel uncomfortable with them it would have been Trista trying to raise a child with a dad that wasn't Ayla's dad. hiding the fact whos baby it was. NO Child should have to go through that Mom and Dad should be with that baby from day one until their rest of their days. I am just going to Prey that they find Ayla soon and hope that she is put with the correct family
ReplyDeleteUmmm..."prey", Anon???
DeletePrey= a predator's intended meal.
PRAY= words sent up to your Maker.
A telling slip of the typist's hand, no doubt!

DeleteSeeking, I have not addressed this before but it's just out of hand. I've had it. May I request that you remove posts from others that include my name? I am NOT a liar, am NOT any of the things that these anonymous a-holes have created this fictional person to be and I will NOT put up with them referring to me in their LIES without fighting back. I should not have to repeatedly explain simple truths but yet these crazy people get to hop around the internet making things up that I can't DEFEND MYSELF against unless I find them, and other than HERE my comments get deleted even if I do defend myself. STOP using MY NAME in your slander and LIES. I have NEVER been a liar, and I am not about to put up with this for one more second of my life. I am trying to do good, and have my own beliefs- and if you all don't like it or agree with me GO POUND SAND BUT LEAVE MY NAME OUT OF YOUR POSTS. I will continue to do what I have done since the first day whether you like it or not. You just get to act like stark raving lunatics because you hide behind fake names, that's really fair.
DeleteThe name calling should stop period.I think this site has a lot to offer. Thats why Im here. Things arent one sided. Everyone can speak. Everyone can have a hand in getting the word out about Ayla and getting her photos out there.This site has been trying to piece things together with facts.You cant toss beliefs in...rumor in...assumptions into the mix.This needs to be looked at from every angle not one.Thats all Ive asked from the beginning.Have some respect for each other ...listen...compare thoughts...debate... dissect with facts.Angela and everyone like her are simply trying to do what they can....from the angle and perspective that they know the case. Thanks again... for not deleting my posts.

DeleteSeeking. ANgela is a control freak. She has blocked sight and she deletes hundreds and hundreds of comments. If you allow her to rule your blog, you will lose a lot of people. You may be controversial, but to indulge Angela with her magical ponies and fairy princess blog to spill over to here is the same as AH's communistic society where it's her way and only her way.
DeleteAH does not want her FULL name to appear in comments. Use her initials or first name if you must speak of her, but per her request I will not allow her first and last name.
DeleteI think that is fair, especially since anonymous people are the ones attaching her full name to their negative opinions of her.
Fine. AH works for me. I don't mind restating my comments using her initials and her TLLOM site reference. Your head needed to be up your butt not to know the difference. Not fair I lost my post because the liar whined and likes to control the world, but I can work around the initials. In fact, I may even spend lots more time discussing it now lol
DeleteWell thank you for conceding that point.
DeleteYou are very welcome. I actually prefer AH... it's sort of like an acronym of what she is :)
DeleteI thought she might have the "teething" look. In my experience, babies don't tend to like the flash... if I take 20 pictures, I'm lucky if I get one smiling... but maybe that's just me. I appreciate seeing the more recent pictures of Ayla.
ReplyDeleteGabby seems relaxed, perhaps not thrilled, but relaxed. Ayla looks like she's waiting for the other shoe to drop.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing the photo's. Really enjoyed seeing them.
ReplyDeleteI guarantee you that both families have pics of Ayla where she's not showing off her beautiful smile.
ReplyDeletesT, I'm sure that's true...
DeleteHowever, it does seem as though the DiPs have MORE than their share of photos featuring a solemn, or otherwise distressed looking, Ayla.
Yes?
Oh my gosh, people are still picking everything apart, you really find evil everywhere !
DeleteYes, the house of horrors again, it's been a broken disk, how long did Justin have Ayla ? How long did Trista have Ayla ? Of course there would be more happier photos of Ayla with Trista than with Justin ? Why do people have to find evil everywhere ?
DeleteIt's hard to find the "good" in a household that took but TWO M O N T H S to bruise, break, and "disappear" this beautiful baby, Anon!
DeleteWhy do you refuse to see the E V I L that is so plain to everyone else??
Pretending it isn't there does NOT make it go away.
The alleged bruising allegedly took place before Justin took Ayla to live in Waterville. Please, at least get your speculations in line with the alleged time line.
DeleteVT Lady the problem you can not seem to get passed is that is it is allegedly bruised. The only source stating there were bruise is Trista's family. Who only come out stating far after fact. And further more seemed to show not much concern in going to get her earlier if they were that concerned. It is not difficult to file a complaint. Be it a restraining order, custody claim.. None were filed until Dec when Trista states she filed for parental rights. And the break was indeed an accident one confirmed to be so by doctors and LE. And as to the disappearance well yup that is indeed evil. Question is what evil source would want to remove Ayla from that household? Pretending that there is no other evil lurking outside that household also does not make it go away. So my question to you and others is why do you refuse to see it?
DeleteAbout the baby comfort level in the photos. Ayla was a virtual stranger in the house still. Her being uncomfortable may be a combination of that and perhaps her personality, how quickly she warmed to new people. She is not paying attention to the book, the photo does look set up- nothing wrong with that but it is a little odd. Usually if you are taking a pic of an adult reading a book to kids, you want the kids to pay attention to the book, not the photographer.
ReplyDeleteUm..Ayla could very well have been paying attention to the book until someone stood in front of her to take the pics. Would that not distract a child? LOL Some people's kids...
DeleteThere are more photos on the link...doing just as you want...paying attention to the book...
ReplyDeleteLOL, I saw that after I posted.
DeleteSelena, some people will never be satisfied, they will construe every little detail to be negative. I hope you continue to post whatever feels right to you. Some of us truly appreciate hearing from a member of your family. I'm sure you're inspired by your love of Ayla and the rest of your family, which I'm sure you believe 100% that they are innocent of any wrongdoing - still, it takes strength, bravery, and commitment to withstand some of the forces out there.
ReplyDeleteI pray for your niece's safe return.
Thank you. Thank you for keeping Ayla in your prayers.
DeleteSelena, I agree with Autumn. Please know that there are people out here who have not convicted and hung your nephew. To have the truly hateful, despicable comments made towards a family that is going through such a horrific ordeal, must also have its effects on the family. Remain strong, for yourself, and to help your family. My prayers are with all of you that Ayla will be returned home safe and well.
Deletewhere are the newly released pictures?
ReplyDeleteWow. Have you people never taken pictures of your children without smiles on their faces? You must be very special to always have such happy kids that never pout or cry. There are plenty of other pictures of Ayla with Justin's family where she is very happy. Maybe Ayla was tired and ready for bed in this picture. I know I'm not getting a smile out of my daughter at bedtime. She's tired, cranky, and just needs laid down. There are times when I go to take a picture of a smiling toddler, and she gives me dirty looks as the picture takes. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter what Selena says, some of you will not be convinced no matter what.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these. I see a clean, well cared for child showing the range of emotions typical for any child.
ReplyDeleteanon 6:45 What you see are pics of a clean child, however, you cannot see if she is well cared for by viewing some pics online! These are two entirely different things. ( clean vs well cared for). 1. clean - your observation
ReplyDelete2. well cared for - your opinion
True enough. I'll concede the point. Instead I'll say that, in my opinion, the pictures don't show anything to suggest that she wasn't being well cared for.
ReplyDeleteWell I enjoyed looking at the photo's. The funny thing is, when I looked at them I didn't notice in how many she smiled, or how clean she was. My motive for looking at the pictures was to enjoy Ayla. I had to go back and look again to see how many she was smiling in, and it was MORE than 1.
ReplyDeleteTo the family members, you are ALL in my prayers. I know the distress you are ALL feeling & dealing with has to be tremendous.
....and for the 'reverse lights' being on in that photo....
ReplyDeleteThat's NOT the light (the light is to the right) --- it's a sun reflection.
lets be real for a moment..pull out all the old family photos and tell me that you would want your family to be analyzed for thier love, parenting skills and whatever else by viewing them and to judge you..just plain ridiculous..MOST have those naked baby pics that are just so cute..so you must be a pedophile.. amazes me at what lenghts some folks go to support thier OPINION..Praying for Ayla and both her mothers and fathers families...
