Second Month

Well, time has flown by since the last time I posted. Ethan is now two months old and had his checkup and first round of shots. At two months he was 12 lbs 7 oz. Here are some photo highlights from the last month:

Ethan is sleeping here in his pack and play. When he is sound asleep he often can be found with his hands above his head like this...so cute!

A common scene...Ethan and the cat both wanting to cuddle with me. :)

Isn't he cute in his little reindeer outfit?

Ethan is becoming more alert and focusing on us more. He also likes his pacifier, which in pictures always looks almost as big as his face!

Spring comes quickly to the northwest. At the beginning of February our bulbs began to sprout up. This bulb sprouting up is a new tulip we planted last fall! My heart is always happy to see this new life arrive at the end of our rainy winters.

I was at a birthday party and he fell asleep...cute little outfit!

TJ got a carseat base in his truck, but it has to be in the front seat, so we get to hold Ethan's hands while we go down the road...it's a treat!

He's smiling more and making faces.

We attended our friend's Brian & JoeAnn's wedding! It was very nice and fun to hang out with lots of friends.

My aunt came to visit! We had a nice time showing her around the area and introducing her to our little fellow. Also note in the picture...our cat, Sarah, who pretty much hisses and growls at any new person for the first two weeks made friends with my aunt in one day!

I have been attending a mom's group through our church. These are three of the babies in attendance...David, Ethan, Caleb (L-R).

I returned to work this past week. It is painful and torturous to have to leave Ethan, but for a while it is necessary. Fortunately I have amazing friends who are watching Ethan for a few hours while I am there. We will trade childcare with each other and hopefully it will work out to continue this as the months progress.

It is a beautiful day here in Oregon and I'm going to sign off and go plant some Valentine's flowers with my hubby and son.
