Speaking of Ethan.....he is growing like crazy! He weighed 6 pounds 0 ounces when he was born. At his last doctor's visit he weighed in at 8 pounds 5 ounces. There was one point where he gained a pound in ONE week!!! He is gaining weight, sleeping good, and having new experiences. He had his first bath a while back, but I thought I would share some pictures with you. Ethan absolutely loves having a bath and getting his hair washed. In one of the pictures below, you can see how big his belly is from all his good eating. Also, in one of the other pictures you can really see how long and skinny his legs are....he is going to be tall like his daddy!
Ethan has started smiling every once in awhile. Whether it is because he has gas or if he is happy.....I don't know! I do know that it is so cute and precious when he smiles. I'm happy that I have been able to catch a few pictures of him. Here is a picture of him smiling and just a couple others for fun.
Here are a few more pictures of Ethan. His grandad and Gail sent him a gift card to Kohl's as a present. So, here are a couple of things that it was used for.....a long sleeve onesie and some really adorable shoes! I'm not use to having a baby in cold weather (since Kaylin was in June)....so I'm trying to keep Ethan warm and bundled up the best I can. I try to keep his feet warm with socks, but his feet are just too skinny!! You see, they are big(long) enough to fit into his socks, but too skinny to keep them from falling off. So, these new shoes are perfect for helping keep his socks on and his feet warm and cozy. Thanks Grandad and Gail for the gift!!
Ok.....so, Kaylin has been hilarious lately!!! She is at such an incredibly fun age. I'm going to have to make sure I start sharing all the funny things that she does during the day. Here is one of them: I was sitting at the computer when I hear Kaylin coming down the hall saying "Mommy!...Look at ME! Look at ME, Mommy!" followed by an adorable giggle. I look up to see her like this..........
I started busting out laughing and we both just laughed and giggled at each other for the longest time. It was a very sweet moment. Anyway, she had taken two VHS covers and put them over her legs. She looked like she had peg-legs. It was so funny. Well, I had to take a close up of the VHS covers that were picked for her fashion show down the hallway.....and the winners are?????? ELMO and Thomas the Train!!
Well, many people have asked me how Kaylin is doing being a big sister. The answer is......GREAT!! She absolutely loves Ethan to death. She is so caring and gentle with him. The following are some pictures of Kaylin and Ethan together.
Kaylin wanted Ethan to come watch a movie in her room. Here they are laying together.
This is one morning when Kaylin decided to get on the couch and talk to Ethan.
I just think this is a cute picture. Kaylin has a cute expression!
They are looking at each other!
This was so funny! Kaylin was telling Ethan a SECRET!!
Here is a sequence of three pictures where Kaylin helps give Ethan his paci. She shows it to him, lines it up in the right position, and then plugs it in!
Last...but not least.....my FAVORITE!!!! They are looking at each other and smiling!
Well, this is by far the longest most informed blog that I have done!! I hope to continue doing this....maybe not this long, but definitely try to capture more of what's going on with Kaylin, Ethan and our family. Hope you enjoyed catching up!
