MAN!! I cannot believe that we have a 7 1/2 week old!!! It feels like he has been here SO much longer!!!!
So Ethan had his 1 Month photoshoot and he was not in the celebratory mood in the morning... obviously from the pic below :) But by the afternoon he cheered up and I was able to get some super cute pics!!!
Ryan watched Ethan while I went to dinner with 2 girlfriends :) Hello old friends :)
Here are some of my Favorite pics over the last 7 weeks!!
Look who can hold his rattle.....
Really excited about the Texans game... they won!
Nanny watched me so Mommy and Daddy could go watch the Texans.... lose......
Well hello :)
Milk Coma
He LOVES Bath time
Hey Baby....
How YOU doin'????
WHAZZZZZZUPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!! Definitely his daddy's son!
My brother, Adam, moved to Houston 3 weeks ago!!! I am super excited to have some of my sde of the family so close and I am glad that Ethan will get some Uncle Adam time!!! BUT the move was not al joyful....... :( My parents came down to help him move from Austin to Houston and to get settled in his new place. While leaving to go eat lunch my mom slipped on wet tile in an apartment hallway and broke her arm :( She went to the ER and got a temporary cast put on and a sling :( that night she and my dad came and stayed with us. That next week she went to the doctor to confirm that it was indeed broken by the elbow and she needed surgery and a couple months of rehab after that :( BOOOO poor Mimi!!!
During the day it seems like I do NOTHING......... if you looked at the state our house is in..... but i am constantly doing SOMETHING........... a stay at home mom is a hard job!!! I love being home with my little man, but i also LOVE being busy, having a schedule, and interacting with others!!! Now that he is getting older, the interacting with other swill get a little bit easier.
I went and checked out the daycare he will be attending starting in March. He will be going to Ryan's church's day school where is cousins have all gone and 2 still attend now. He will be in a class with a maximum of 9 infants and 3 teachers. However, some infants only come 2x a week, so many days its less..... the day i visited there were only 3 little girls. Ethan will be one of two boys in the class with 7 girls - studs already!!! They are very attentive, caring, and i feel very confident that Ethan will be in good hands!!
We went on our first family walk!!!
Today he went to get his shots :( so sad!!! I think I cried as much as he did!! But he was a big boy and only cried for about 1 minute! He weighed in at 12 pounds and .4 ounces and measured 23 1/2 inches long!!! Such a big boy!! He also got a prescription for baby Zantac to help with some reflux issues he has been having.
Tough guy with his 3 Wolverine band aids!
I can say that he has been such a blessing!! He had been sleeping from around 9:30-10 pm till about 5am each night!!! He really only cries if he is dirty, hungry, or wants to cuddle...... i really never have to give him a pacifier, nor does he act like he really wants one, because he is never "just fussy"!!! He is really only fussy in the evenings, between dinner and bath time, i think because he is tired. Speaking of dirty...... this kid can put grown mens farts to SHAME!!!! its amazing the noises that can come from such a small kid!!!! Its a constant game of "Was that gas........... or it is time to throw on the biohazard suit? But with a face like this......... who cares :)
Things Ethan loves so far
The bath - this kid would sit in the bath all day if he could - and he is not happy when he realizes he is being taken out
The car- like most kids he zonks out as soon as the car is in motion
The hair dryer - i don't know what it is, maybe he was used to the noise from in the womb, but he will pass out in less than 5 minutes if you turn on a hair dryer. Its out go to method if he is fighting sleep
The swing - he likes to just chill and look at himself in the mirror and swing...... vain already :)
Laps - he loves making laps with Daddy around the house if he is fighting sleep, just staring into daddys blue eyes, his carbon copy!
