Hooray!!

YaY!!!!!! Today we reached a milestone.............Ethan who has been sleeping in his papasan seat INSIDE his bassinet.........finally slept in the bassinet without the seat!! It's like he is growing up already.............

1 Month Old

Ethan is 1 month old today. Amazing that so much time has gone by already. He is so strong already, picking up his head and holding it for a long time, standing up and working his legs. He is very content at night looking all around. He now has alot more alert times during the day also.


The many faces of Ethan............

Just hanging out during tummy time on the boppy.

Bath Time!! September 5, 2006

Ethan's first bath..........I don't think he liked it very much at first..he screamed!!! But after a while he loved it and just layed there and let the water run over him. I think he was very relaxed.
Ethan did not think that the robe was as funny or cute as we did!

Saturday -September 2, 2006 2 weeks old!!

2 weeks old already!! It definitely does go by fast. Ethans belly button fell off after only being home for a week. So I guess it is time to give the real bath a try. Not that he loved the sponge baths. Ethan has also already gained a pound in a week. As of Friday 8/1/06 he is 7 pounds even! We are still working on the sleeping at night, he just wants to sleep in his papasan seat, does not dig the bassinet. So..whatever works right now................

Sleepy Boy!!

He does love to sleep alot............just during the day!

Homecoming...

Ethan and Mommy came home on Wednesday 08/23/06. Finally!! Seemed like we were gone forever. All is well..............we are both doing great!

Ethan has Arrived!!!

Ethan came into this world on Saturday 08/19/06 at 1:32 p.m. He weighed 6 lbs. and 5 ozs. and 19 inches long. Yes.. he decided to come a little early but that was ok by us. He definitely has mommys nose and chin. He has daddy's lips and so far his eyes. We love him very much!!

38 weeks!

We are still enjoying ourselves at the beach while we still can....



Yet another weekly belly shot. It just keeps on growing and growing now. It is very cool to sit at night and watch the movements now. My belly moves from one side to the other. I told Dave I think he is shy though. He moves so much for me all day long and when I ask him"Did you see that?" he says "no" and then he watches and gets nothing.....I keep getting the feet in the ribs now though, that doesn't feel soo good.

37 weeks!

I have been noticing myself getting bigger now. Also, getting uncomfortable sleeping and hips hurting. I guess I am lucky to have felt so good for so long now. Doctor's today= said I am "thinning "......................and Ethan's estmated weight now is 6 lbs. 9 ozs. So yes he growing fast now!!

Creating the Ultimate Nursery

Nice sweatpants Dave!! Rockin the outfit..............

This was something I was so looking forward to doing. I could not wait to get started. We started paintng early on. We both worked on the taping, Dave painted the walls and I created the sky ceiling. Believe it or not, I did it without even getting on a ladder.
