Just Hangin'...

Not much going on this week....Ethan seems to think that he does not need to sleep during the day. Wednesday and Thursday of this week, he decided not to take his daytime naps. I know he's tired - he rubs his eyes and starts to suck on the back of his hand. He just won't settle down and relax long enough to fall asleep.


Today it took him about two hours to finally fall asleep for his afternoon nap. So far he's been sleeping for about 2 hours. He did take a small cat nap in the car earlier this morning, but we'll see if this afternoon nap helps.
Well, that's about it from here....TTFN!

2 Months Old Today!

Today our little boy is 2 months old.

We went and had an Echocardiogram done first - Ethan seemed to do very well, but the doctor said that he was to wiggly to get a really clear picture of his heart. The doctor said tho the Right Ventricle did look smaller and seems to be shrinking down to the size it needs to be.

Ethan also had an Electrocardiogram done and the doctor said that still looked a little abnormal (whatever that means) - and we need to go back in when Ethan is 6 months old for another follow-up. He could also hear a bit of a heart murmur. From what I understand all this should clear up on its own as Ethan grows up. That's why the follow-up in 4 months.

Ethan now weighs 11 lbs 14 oz and is 23.5 inches long. He is growing like a weed!

I started taking some videos of Ethan talking and cooing - I will try and figure out how to post that and get it here soon! I watched a video of him from when Grandma and Grandpa Youngerman were here - and Oh My! How tiny he was. I decided right then that we need to take more pictures and start taking more video of him.

Ethan has his BabyWell visit with the pediatrician next monday. He'll be getting a whole bunch of shots - so I'm taking Tom along to help out...although I think I want him to go more for me than for Ethan...I hear that visit is really tough on the mommy's!

Well, that's it for now! Hope everyone is enjoying this early heat wave across the country. I don't think it was below 80 degrees anywhere in the U.S. today! It was 82 here!

TTFN! (ta ta for now)

Went to a Graduation Party today!

Today we went to a High School Graduation Party for Sarah and Blake. They are friends of mommy's from before she met daddy. My how they have grown up. We saw Little Tom - who is Sarah's brother. Little Tom is now 12 years old and very tall - as is his sister Sarah.
Mommy knew them when she lived in Seattle - they were neighbors and they all became really good friends. It's been awhile since we have seen Sarah and Tom and their family. It was REALLY nice to see them again.
We will need to get together with them again, soon!
Congratulations Sarah and Blake!!

Auntie Laura came to vist us today. We just hung out and chatted and fed Ethan some lunch. It was a really nice visit.

Thanks Auntie Laura!!

Mommy and Ethan taking a nap!

Uncle Joe!

Today Ethan met his Uncle Joe. Uncle Joe is now a captain for Mid West Airlines and they now fly into Seattle once a day for a 24 hour layover.
We haven't seen Joe since our wedding in July of 2005 - so it was nice to see him again. We had a very nice visit and went out to dinner.

The visit was short but sweet - Uncle Joe promises to come visit again soon!!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Hope all the daddy's out there have a wonderful day!

7 weeks old today!!!

Sleepin' in daddy's lap...

Ethan was sitting on Daddy's lap - then BAM! he was asleep...just like that!

Greetings!

Not much new to report this week. Ethan seems to be getting into a routine, finally. Not a perfect one, of course - but definitely a routine.

Mommy goes in for her 6 week check up tomorrow (actually 7 weeks) - I'm sure everything will go smoothly.

Mommy and Daddy measured Ethan the other night - he was EXACTLY 24 inches. AMAZING! This kid is going to be tall!

Otherwise, just wanted to post some pictures of grandma and grandpa Bigelow.

Hope everyone is doing well! Keep in touch and Email us!!

"....on my way to Costco!"

Almost 6 weeks old!

Well, tomorrow Ethan will be 6 weeks old. I am posting today - as I never know when I'll get a chance to write a little something....Ethan is pretty demanding with his time!

Yesterday was his first trip to Costco - and wouldn't you know it....he slept the entire time! He is such a good little traveler....he's super in the car, thank goodness!

Not much going on these days, our friends from Portland came to visit this past weekend, Buck and Tonya. We had a nice visit!

We need to really start getting on a nap schedule during the day - seems we get on the right track and then something in the routine changes and the schedule is out the window.

Ethan is such a good baby though. He only seems to get really fussy if he has some "stomach/bowel" issues. As soon as he 'let's loose' - all is better with the world!!

I just wanted to check in and post some new pictures from the past week - Ethan just seems to be growing soooo fast!

Keep checking in! Hope everyone is doing well.
