4 Months!

Well, here we are, 4 months old! Wow! Ethan weighed 16.6 lbs. and was 25.25 inches at his 4 month wellbaby visit. I'm loving the chunky legs!! I love my fat babies!! We're working on rice cereal and have even ventured to green beans. Next week, carrots - yummy! Annabelle is just interested in the bananas and peaches - I'm beginning to think it's more for herself than Ethan! Well, at risk of sounding like an obnoxious mom who goes on about how great her baby is.....he is just the sweetest thing. He's so smiley, lovable and cuddly. I just hate putting him down. And the icing on the cake - he's been sleeping through the night for well over a month! I'm enjoying that while it lasts - because I do know each night could be the last! But he's perfectly content with his super soft blanket!

3 Months

Well, Ethan is getting so big, and he's such a sweetie pie. He's starting to "talk" a bit more and is very social. He loves to look around outside, so I can't wait for this weather to start getting a little warmer so we can take walks and sit outside. Annabelle is still a great big sister - if she hears so much as a whine, she's on it! She comes running and is ready to do whatever she needs to make him happy! ** Oh, and I apologize to those of you who watch the video and are forced to listen to me talking to him through it all!!!

2 Months!

*** Update *** Had his Dr. appt. today! He officially weighs 10lbs. 8oz. and is 22.5" long! Wow! I knew he had gained some weight, but was not expecting him to be over 10lbs! But it's great, he had a great check-up, got 3 shots. Boohoo - I hate it, but he toughed it out probably better than I did. He still doesn't have those ham hocks like Annabelle did so I think I feel like the shots are going to hurt more with him. I've got to fatten him up! He's on a great schedule, he'll take 6oz. at night before bed at about 11:00 and at about 4:30 or so he will stir a little. I just give him his pacifier back and he'll snooze till 6:30 or so! I'm liking these hours! Hopefully the little pooper can maintain them!

Wow time flies! Little E has a Dr. appt. on Tuesday, his 2 month, and I am anxious to see how much he's grown! I know it's quite a bit, he already seems so much bigger and has changed so much! And he is such a sweet pea - I have a real hard time putting him down!!

Snow 2010

Well, we've got a snowstorm of major proportions hitting us right now. It's a mess here since they don't have the snow removal ability and people aren't "strong" drivers in the snow here. So we'll stay home and sit by the fire! Annabelle is loving it - we actually had to run out last night and buy her some ski pants and boots! So she had a blast outside and is already bugging us to go back out! Where are her friends?!

Baby Ethan

Well, I'm finally posting pics - sorry for the delay. I'm actually disappointed in myself that I haven't been taking more pics. I've got to work on that! He's already changed so much since the day we brought him home - and he's growing so much. He's got quite the appetite - he puts down 4 oz. at a time. He's a great sleeper too, usually wakes up once a night - due to his big appetite, I'm sure! His Dr. said there's no problem with it as long as he's not throwing up, and we definitely don't have a problem only waking up once a night for a feeding! Annabelle is such a great big sister - she loves her baby brother. She's a big help - except for diaper changing, I'm still working on her on that!!

Gingerbread House

Today we made our visit to Williams Sonoma - must have Peppermint Bark! While we were there Annabelle noticed a Gingerbread House that she had to have. We caved (as usual!) and let her get it. She did quite a nice job (with a little help) putting it together. And she's already broken and tested a piece - off the back!

Hello Belly!!

I think I took this last week - with 6 weeks to go! Just didn't motivate to post the pic until now! So, another pop of the belly occured! It seemed to happen overnight - again! So, down to less than 5 weeks and I'm definitely not ready! But for now, I'm just going to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday and then work on getting organized!
