We just got the call from our agency! She was born on August 30, 2007.....just over 6 months old! We are thrilled and can't wait to coax some smiles out of those chubby cheeks! I'm sure her daddy and big brothers will have her giggling in no time!
UPDATE:
I just received some additional information that says Ellie is 14 pounds and 24 inches long. Obviously much of the bulk we see in the pictures is extra layers of clothing! They also said she is a deep sleeper, laughs out loud and has a ready smile. Her personality was described as active, restless and quick in reaction.....not sure what to make of all of that!

What a cutie! Congrats!
Congratulations!!! Love those cheeks!
A Yangjiang City girl! How wonderful!! She is so beautiful (my personal, completely biased opinion is that babies from Yangjiang, Guangdong are the most beautiful of all babies -- yes, I am proud mom to a Yangjiang beauty).
Congratulations family, she's beautiful.
She is beautiful. Is she from Yangxi, Guangdong or Yangjiang??? Our daughter is from Yangxi and her referral shots have all the same background. Congratulations!

Congratulations for this wonderful news! I know how exciting this time is and how hard it is to wait any more…especially after such a long wait to get to this point! If you’d like to find out more about what your daughter’s Chinese name (characters) means, come visit us at http://ChineseNameAnalysis.blogspot.com and learn how you can get a personalized analysis. Best wishes and happy travels!
Congratulations on your Guangdong referral. When you are ready to obtain her finding ad (which has a great color picture of her several months younger than her referral photo) come visit us at www.research-china.org.
We also have a nice DVD of her orphanage, etc.
Hope you travel quick!!

She is absolutely beautiful. She looks "sturdy" for six months, too -- wonder how many layers of clothes she is wearing? :-)
Congratulations!

Congratulations!!!! Yahoo, so fun to see a "fellow Jan LIDer" get a referral!
She is precious. Congratulations!
I can also recognize what looks like the Yangxi backdrop for the photos, and even the same clothing. My daughter is from Yangxi, so the photos look familiar. A visitor dropping by to say congratulations on your beautiful baby girl.
She is adorable!!
Congratulations!
Wishing you a safe and memorable journey to her.
She is a doll. We also got our referral today and I wanted to visit some of my potential travel buddies to say congratulations.
What a wonderful feeling.
Hurray! She is precious!
She is really Cute !!!
