I meant to post this over a month ago, but Christopher started crawling! I put some toys out infront of him and he just did it! He learned so much faster than Dustin did. He was up off his stomach for about three weeks and then he could crawl. He's come so far since he first came to live with us. He learned almost exactly the same time he turned 9 months. He crawls and gets into everything all over the house and Dustin tries to ride on his back. They crack me up! No new news about the adoption. I guess they can't find the birth Mom to serve her papers. We're hopeful that things will go smoothly, but you never know with DHS! Christopher has become part of our family and the thought of the adoption not working out is so sad. The caseworker thinks that probably around Christmas time is when court stuff will be done and we will be able to start the adoption. Thanks to all of you who have been supportive and helpful since he came to live with us.

He is so cute! You are super mom I swear. I don't know how you do it but you are obviously doing a great job!
I love that Dustin tries to ride on his back. That's hillarious!
You have such a cute little family. I'm glad to hear that Christopher is such a happy addition. I hope things can work out for you guys.
Good boy, Christopher! Jen, I need to call you here soon. Brian said he talked to you guys today and that now there are some complications adopting Chris because of his birth brother...I hope something works out...We will keep you guys in our prayers!
Sigh, things are up in the air now. Christopher has a half brother that is moving back to Oregon because he can't stay with the family he's been placed with in Alaska. So they asked if we would be willing to take on his 2 and a half year old brother also, which we obviously can't do. So the case has to go to a split-sibling committee who will decide if it's in the best interest of the kids to place them together or keep them apart. So we don't know what will happen, this all just came up yesterday. I will keep you guys posted though.
