9 months old!

I didn't keep good records of when the other kids their "firsts"...i remember some, and other things I don't remember so well. Now that I'm blogging I have a great opportunity to keep all the records on here for Ephram. Seems like the 4th child is usually the one who doesn't have as many pictures, etc. but not in our family!

(This was written 1 week ago) After 1 1/2 weeks of being home Ephram can:

sit up MUCH better, stand with support, go from laying down to sitting up all on his own, wave bye-bye (and grin while he does it:), sign "all done" (ESPECIALLY if he's being fed veggies), he eats much better, continues to rock on his knees, say's "ma ma", turns when he hears his name (YAY).

-Ephram isn't crazy about books
-He smiles when Braden goes to sit with him
-He LOVES touching faces
-He scoots all over the place
-He loves to play with his hands and fingers
-He sucks his thumb
-He is eating MUCH better these days. He drinks about 24-28 oz of milk a day and eats three meals a day. He still isn't crazy about some of the veggies and loves table food the most. Ephram has eaten carrots, sweet potatoes, green beans, chicken, peas, cranberries, yogurt, apples, pears, bananas, cheerios, bread, and pasta.

*we are working on the signs: more, thank you, excuse me, cup, and please. whenever i say more he signs "all done" with a grin on his face like he knows he's being silly:).

He continues to be a happy baby and is just a little fussy in the evenings. He does much better if we are out somewhere during that time. He takes 2 two hour naps and sleeps 12 hours at night. The kiddos continue to be so sweet and helpful with him. He calms down when Cailey holds him too. Braden reads to him when he wakes up in the morning and he's waiting to get out of his crib...precious! Kinsey tries SO hard to be the mama and wants to do everything for him. She LOVES her brother so much!
