all things family: me, the hubster, and the kiddos.
People always tell me that Ethan looks just like Brian. It’s true (not to mention lucky for him). I think he looks mostly like Brian but I can spot a few of my distinctive features – like the dimple he has on his right cheek. You can only see it when he makes certain expressions Continue reading
Now that Ethan has become mobile we’ve had to put the “doggie gates” back up. Okay, so technically they are baby gates but before we had Ethan they were doggie gates. We took them down after we lost the dogs and didn’t think we’d be putting them back up so quickly. Ethan is now crawling Continue reading
As I was catching up on uploading pictures to our website this morning Ethan climbed my leg, started bouncing up and down, and “telling” me he was hungry. Of course, I grabbed my iPhone and snapped this picture. He’s 9 1/2 months old and he’s really become so expressive lately; he sings and talks to Continue reading
On this particular rainy Saturday Brian and I trekked out to Babies R Us to take advantage of two ‘20% off one item’ coupons we’d been dying to use. We thought it would be nice to get Ethan a push toy since he now knows how to crawl and has learned to stand up and Continue reading
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
We had a great time during Grandma’s recent trip to California. She got to spend some quality time with her new grandson and we all got to visit Noni, visit my friends, and even take a trip down to Newport Beach.
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
