Midnight moonlight shining through the curtain lace
Paints a perfect picture on your perfect face

One sweet angel sleepin’ in my arms
You are the promise I knew God would keep
You are the gift that makes my world complete

And you’ll never know how much I love you
But I’ll keep on tellin’ you my whole life through


Now I believe in miracles and you’re the reason why
So dream on while I sing you, my angels lullaby

Doctor visit today...

We went to the doctor today for Ethan's 4 month check up. Everything looks great...he has a little infection in the diaper area - but it's no big deal.
He of course had to have 4 shots - 2 in each leg. CRIES like the dickens while the shots are being given, but as soon as mommy picks him up - he's all better! I think he is braver when it comes to shots than mommy is!!!

Ethan now weighs 15 lbs 10.5 oz - is 26 inches long and his head is 42 cm. He is in the 75-90% in both height and weight!

We have a big boy on our hands! Daddy's hasn't been feeling well the past few days - I hope mommy and Ethan don't get sick...Yuck! We think he is on the mend...let's hope he gets better soon!

Grandma Youngerman is coming to visit the first part of October - Yeah! She is going to be sooo surprised at how big her little Ethan is now!
Well, that's about it for now....The end of summer is approaching... enjoy it while you still can!

4 Months Old Today....WOW!

I can't believe my little man is 4 months old today. AMAZING how time flies! He is such a sweet little boy - and I am not just saying that. He smiles at you, *talks* to you, he is always in such a good mood. He really is a joy to be around!
We've started him on rice cereal this past week or so; and he is getting better and better at it. I try and make him laugh so it's easier to get the spoon in his mouth. Less and less is being spit back out at me. =)

We went to the park yesterday with our friends, Dawn and Ena. The park is also a little beach on Lake Stevens, which is near where we live. Ethan did great in the water. A couple boats went by and created some pretty big waves....for a lake - and got his diaper booty all wet. He had a great time! Then we took a time out in the shade, had a bottle and did a little relaxing! The first time Ethan was in a lake....it was fun!

Howdy!

Things here in the NW have definitely cooled off. I think the hot part of our summer is over. It's still warm - but the rain has found its way back. Thank goodness!
As you can see - Football Season is underway....Daddy has been teaching Ethan aaallll about it! Go Seahawks!
Around here we are having good nights and bad nights...last night was a bad night! Poor Ethan couldn't quite relax or fall deep enough asleep on his own in the crib - so he slept with mommy and daddy. Not sure why but my mommy theory tells me that he just needed to be close to us!
We have started a nighttime routine of a nice warm bath before his bedtime bottle...boy does he love the water. He kicks and splashes....he especially likes it when he splashes himself and mommy and daddy! He giggles and smiles.
He is getting to be such a little man these days, I'm not sure I want him to grow up so fast....but he'll always be mommy's little man!
Enjoy the latest pictures! Take Care~

Hello....

It's been a little while since we have posted anything...our little one has been giving us a hard time when it comes to sleepy times. He was refusing to sleep for awhile and was sooooo exhausted that I swear the kid had bags under his eyes!









He is doing much better now - our next hurdle is to get Ethan to sleep in his crib. He had been sleeping in a little bassinet attachment to the pack-n-play...so we moved the crib into our bedroom and have been trying to get him to sleep in that....so far, I think he's only slept in it twice. He really enjoys sleeping between mommy and daddy - but the thing is mommy and daddy don't sleep very well.









We gave him his first bath without the little plastic tub last night - WOW did he sure have fun in the water. Daddy held his head and mommy washed. Then we let him kick and splash! I think we may have a little fish on our hands....these are our 'censored' pictures!!
Other than that no much going on - Grandma Youngerman is planning a trip out to see her grandson in early October....is she going to be surprised how big Ethan has grown...he is no longer an infant....he's our baby =)









I've got lots of pictures to post today - That's all I have to report for now...Enjoy the pictures!
By the way - this toy that Ethan is playing with (the yellow, red and blue circular one) was Tom's when he was a baby....It's one of Ethan's favorites!!!

We have been busy!!

Well, as you can see by the pictures below of the work that's been going in the house - things around here have been a bit hectic. Nap schedules have been off as we've been spending time with friends and family outside the house....all the furniture from the main floor has been put into the garage for our new floors. UGH! What a pain in the arse!
On Saturday we went and visited Auntie Coreen where she lives. They were having a big fair...Ethan got his first balloon! We tied it on his foot =) He had fun hanging with Nanny, Papa, Grandma Jane, Grandpa Ray, Auntie Mary and Auntie Coreen! What a fun time that was!
Other than trying to keep busy during our semi-remodel - not much has been going on. Ethan is starting to hold his own bottle during feedings and he is grabbing at mommy and daddy's face quite a bit more. He is just growing sooooo fast!!!
Ethan gumming grandpa's arm...cute cute cute!


Well, other than trying to get our house back together not much going on this weekend! We will keep you posted on our goings on....TTFN!
