Easter 2009

Happy Easter to everyone! All is good here. As you can see from the first picture that Ethan will have plenty of cousins to get him in all sorts of trouble.

My little boy is growing up too fast! He has already outgrown his newborn clothes. The big news is that he gave Joel his first big cheesy smile. It was so beautiful. I am a little jealous that it didn't go to me first! It's just not fair! It's funny because now I will do anything to try and get him to smile.

Tonight I took a nap and Joel gave Ethan a bath and fed him and carried on like they didn't even need me! :(

Ethan is defintely a boy. He loves to be outside on a walk or in the water taking a bath. He is guaranteed not to cry during this time. We went to the ranch last week and Joel drove us around on the golf cart. it was so bouncy and windy but Ethan just loved it.

Ethan is beginning to be more alert and can sit alone without being held for short periods of time. He seems to enjoy his swings more now. Before, he only slept in them. I guess that is progress.

Thats all for now.

I'm the worst blogger ever....

Ethan is growing like a weed. I don't even want to blink because I am afraid I will miss something. He is getting longer and filling out. He already looks so different as you can see. He is "High Maintenance" or as some would say - spoiled! He loves to be held. And I love holding him. Anytime he is put down he immediately wakes up and cries. Joel says he only has (3) phases - Sleeping, Eating or Crying. Joel gave him rice cereal for the first time yesterday. (against my wishes) I had to finally wake Ethan about 5 hours later. He seemed to tolerate it fine.

Ethan did not get to be the family baby for long. Everyone check out my new neice Sadie on Erica and Beau's blog. She's beautiful.

I have been visiting my sister lately (now that I am not working so much). His cousin Nicole is fascinated with him. She screams and giggles at Ethan. It's really cute to see... It is still weird to see me and my sister both carrying baby carriers.

We have a new nanny and she is assisting in the spoiling process. We are so happy to have her. Ethan won't even let her put him down so she can go to the bathroom.

Ethan truly enjoys his bath time and has never even began to cry. That is such a blessing.

No other news to share as the rest of our lives have come to a grinding stop. Joel goes back to work next week and I have started the back at the spas.

Love to all.
