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
October 17 – 24, 2009 we took our first family road trip together. Brian had a conference in Scottsdale so Ethan and I tagged along so we could spend a week together relaxing and hanging out at the pool. We had a lot of firsts during this trip. We brought along Morton, our stuffed animal Continue reading
Brian and I decided to take Ethan to the LA County Fair this year. We figure he’s too young to remember but it would be memorable for us, it was a beautiful day to be outside, and it only cost $1 per person to get in on October 4th (the day we went). We had 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
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
The Arup Los Angeles office had its annual summer picnic at Knott’s Berry Farm this year so Ethan got to meet Snoopy for the very first time today! I think Ethan is already discovering that there are some definite perks to living in Southern California. Brian and I started the day by introducing Ethan to Continue reading
Our doctor advised us to make sure that Ethan was 100% comfortable breastfeeding before we attempted to give him a bottle. He advised us not to start until at least 4 weeks had passed. So, when we felt the time was right we gave it a shot. I couldn’t imagine a more perfect day than Continue reading
