Ephraim is 9 months old today. My friend from college, Carrie, had a little boy the same day I had Ephraim. His name is Nate. When he turns how many ever months old, she does that number of things that she loves about him on her blog. Such a cute idea, I thought I'd try it this time!
1. His big blue eyes surrounded by long lashes.
2. His laugh.
3. The way he adores his big sissy.
4. His chunky thighs.
5. How he crinkles his nose and breaths in and out really fast sometimes when he is done eating.
6. That he is not crawling, yet!
7. He yells "Da-da" followed by babbling - it's cute even if he's not saying Ma-ma anymore. (He said it on my birthday back in March).
8. How he jumps like a crazy man in the Jumperoo. He loves it!
9. That when he's tired he cuddles up with me and sucks my shirt.
Ephraim now has one tooth. Ellie has a new nickname for him, "Brud". This is short for Brudder (or Brother if you are not 3 years old).
On a completely different note... some of you have probably heard of Steven Curtis Chapman. He is an awesome Christian singer and songwriter. In addition to his three biological children, he has 3 little girls adopted from China. He was very inspirational to Scott & me as we were going through the process of adopting Ellie. His youngest daughter was struck in the driveway of their home in Franklin, TN yesterday and died. Please pray for this family as they go through an unimaginably difficult time.

Angie, I love Ephraim's eyelashes. I always notice them in the pictures. ALSO, you are so smart for loving that he is still crawling. It doesn't last long and so many people always want them to hurry through this short phase. I ADORE crawlers!!!
I heard your next adoption is moving along. Shana said you went to get fingerprinted...right? GREAT for you guys. You're gonna be an awful lot like the Richmond's soon. I can't wait 'till you buy a big, red, van...lol.
Very cute idea. That would make great scrapbook pages, it's too late for mine now. Oh well.
My heart has been so broken for the Chapman family. I could not stop thinking about it yesterday, and have prayed for them a lot.
You'll have to check out Malley's blog to find out the craziness that has been our adoption saga lately. It's wild.
What a cute idea! I, too, love Ephraim's big blue eyes! So captivating! What a handsome dude!
The Chapman tragedy has been really weighty on my mind also. Gosh. I just can't imagine....
My girls have been playing in our driveway practically non-stop for weeks. Yesterday I was especially nervous about the cars coming and going.....
I'm glad your back.... I missed your posts and was hoping you all were OK!!!
Have a great holiday weekend!
