Ethan's First Christmas!! December 25, 2006

Ethan's 1st Xmas was so much fun for all of us. He got to meet new family members and see so many more. It was a tiring weekend for all of us but was to be expected.



Ethan decided to sleep in a bit in Mommy and Daddy's bed. I guess we were a little more excited than he was..hahaha





















He did enjoy unwrapping presents and playing in the paper.







Ethan got dressed in his Xmas outfit but did not last in it very long due to drooling and blowing rasberries during the day.H especially he enjoyed his rasberry/giggle time with Grandma.

4 Months Old...December 19, 2006

Ethan is sooo active these days!! With only taking two 1/2 hour naps during the day and sleeping pretty much through the night. He is absolutley amazed with his hands. Always watching them and trying to do new things with them. He waves at people often. He is grabbing for things and concentrates very hard while doing so.







Ethan is now sleeping in his bassinet!! Yes, he is out of the papasan seat finally. It was like all of a sudden one night he just decided it was time. He has so much more room to move around.........and that he does...he moves himself completely sideways.





















We have also started a little bit of rice cereal which he seems to be ok with so far.

1st Thanksgiving

Ethan's first Thanksgiving was spent stuffing himself all day. I think he knew it was a day to eat because that's all he wanted to do. He dressed in his "fancy slacks" and sweater, oh and don't forget the Pilgrim hat....and spent the day with the family.

2 Turkeys on the couch












Four generations, so nice to have that in a family. Glad that Ethan gets to enjoy having a great grandmother.

So Thankful!!!

3 Months Old!!

I'll show you Mommy..............I just get dressed and then I spit all over myself!!



He is growing and learning so fast. He does new things all the time. He is reaching for objects now that he has kinda figured out how to use his hands, It takes alot of concentration though. Ethan has become quite the chatter box also. He tells us a new story every day.
I got my keys and I am ready to go!!





























Ethan does his daily exercises. He likes to sit up all the time. He tries real hard to do this on his own when no one is helping him. He is also trying real hard at "tummy time" to push himself up. Practice, practice, practice!! :)

HATS!!!

Ethan now wears an assortment of hats. Wears them all different ways too. Even sports the "Yo baby" look.
























He has also learned that his legs do different things. Just yesterday he realized he could bounce and jump on my lap. He did it over and over again. He entertains himself for quite some time now. Likes the TV shows Dora, Backyardigans and Little Einstiens.

Ethan's First Halloween

For Ethan's first Halloween, he was a Lion that turned into a Vampire......we went for cute and scary. It was shared with some family and even trick or treated at Movie Madness.








As each day passes he makes more new faces...he even had his first big giggle the other day..was so cute! We have our daily morning conversation. And the cat wants no part of it...he just takes off.

2 Months Old!!

Believe it or not, this little guy now weighs in at 12 pounds and 3.2 ounces. Also he is 23 inches long. I was wondering why he was feeling heavy..
Ethan smiles so much now. There is nothing like waking up first thing and being greeted by him with that big smile and a couple of coos.


He has finally found his fist. This tends to entertain him for a while. Especially when it is not cooperating with him.
















We like to have photo sessions during the day. We surprise Daddy with the cute pictures when he gets home from work.

So Big!!

I can't believe how fast Ethan has grown. Just 6 weeks ago this outfit was swimming on him and now it fits just right. Just look at the comparison...












He really loves his swing, it has become his daytime napping nest.















Noah is trying to quietly sneak a sniff, wondering what is going on. ..He is getting a little more curious.............Ethan now smiles every morning and can immitate the faces I make at him. He has also discovered his hands. Love all the ooo's and aah's!
