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!

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!!
