all about ethan.
Ethan received this Chatter Telephone from our friend Teena as a present shortly after he was born. Brian and I both had this toy when we were a kid so you know it’s a classic. Sadly, it says 12+ months on the box so it’s been tucked away in Ethan’s closet ever since we received Continue reading
It’s funny how we wait and wait for babies to crawl. It seems like we are so anxious for them to start. Yet, once they do we long for the days when they would just sit still and happily play with their toys. Our Lil Peanut started crawling just two days before he turned 9-months Continue reading
What was a class of all boys has suddenly been blessed with a new little girl, Braelyn. Braelyn is exactly one month older than Ethan. Just like his Daddy, Ethan has taken an interest in the older woman. 🙂 According to the daycare teachers they spend a lot of time together; playing, eating, and just Continue reading
Ethan had his 9 month check-up appointment with the doctor today. So I arrived at daycare promptly at 3:20 to pick him up and take him. When I arrived I found the boys sitting in this buggy. They had just come back from a trip around the daycare. They visited other kids who were playing Continue reading
When people see Ethan the first thing everyone always says is “look at that red curly hair!” We think he’s beautiful even without the hair (I know I’m bias). So, for 2010 we thought we’d try something a little different. We decided to cut his hair short for a change so it wouldn’t look so Continue reading
Once again, Ethan was the star of the show. Everyone loved seeing him this Thanksgiving. Everyone wanted to hold him, everyone wanted pictures, everyone laughed. I have so much to be thankful for this year. I love that I get to spend the holiday with my mom’s side of the family again. I’m so grateful Continue reading
Ethan’s first Halloween started out with an office party at Arup. All the kids were so cute. The big kids were great too! I love that everyone is so festive. Pete and Leslie won for the best costume and they deserve to win – their Flinstone family costumes were awesome! We ended up taking Ethan Continue reading
Lots of play time + lots of tummy time = a very tired Ethan. Ethan and I spent about two hours on the bed today. We laughed, we talked, we napped, we played, we had a blast. We started off by just laying in bed and staring at each other. Then we giggled and talked. Continue reading
Since my mom died in 2002 I have become somewhat estranged from my mom’s side of the family. It’s odd how a death can either bring a family closer together or tear them apart. In this case, our family has never been quite the same. My mom was somehow the glue that kept our family Continue reading
Everyone warned me about how tired I would be in the days immediately following Ethan’s birth yet somehow I thought I was “tough” and would have no problem sending out the birth announcements right away. HA! I finally sent them out today, nearly 8 weeks after Ethan’s birth. So much for being “tough”. What can Continue reading
