1/4 of a year


Okay calling Ethan a 1/4 of year scares me! So, let's just say he is 3 months today, that even sounds crazy, how can it be!
Our Dearest Ethan,
You continue to be the cutest thing ever (we are biased though). You are becoming quit the CHUNK! We love the new rolls you have on your hands/wrists and on your legs! Dad calls you a hamball! You are eating about 5 oz in your 2 bottles and day and continue to be a good nurser.  You have had a couple of great nights sleeping almost 5 hours! Thanks buddy! You are definately more alert more often during the day. We have fun playing under your gym, watching your mobile in your swing, going on daily walks, listening to your mom sing to you (someday you will realize I have NO talent in that department!), and watching baseball with your dad! You do a good job following objects and grabbing hold of them! You have started to sit in your bumble chair and are getting really close to holding your head up longer by yourself. You enjoy tummy time and always seem to find your hand to suck on when are are on your tummy.Your bad habits are pulling your own hair and then screaming about it! Ethan you are truly one in a million! We love you more than words can describe!
Love forever and ever,
Mom and Dad

Ethan was really being Mr. Photogenic this morning!
Yes, Ethan we think you are Totally Handsome!
Close Ups! Mom tries to catch your smiles but I am too slow!
Check out those chinS! Yes, plural you have more than one! I love um!

We had a great weekend. Grandma Lori came up and painted yet again! Then mom put on her big girl pants and was brave enough to leave Ethan for more than 2 hours! We went to the Twins game on Sunday with our great friends Neil and Jaci. What a cool new place to watch baseball! I even got some good color on my super white arms! We had a great time with them like always! Neil was even a trooper with me having to pump in the car in downtown Minneapolis- thank goodness for Aunt Katie's Hooter Hider I got for Christmas! Thanks again guys! I was proud of myself, only called 5 times to check in on him in 6 hours!! I think it helped that I forgot my phone at home and had to beg Brad to use his even though he assured me that Ethan was going to be just fine! Thanks again Grandma Lori for watching Ethan! He was in great hands! However, Grandma Lori did get in trouble for doing "too much" while we were gone. She was WAY too productive (very greatful though) and got more housework done in one day that I get done in 3! Brad just looked at me and said, "How can she do all of that and you can barely get one of those things done in a day!" She said she had lots of practice with 4 kids and gave me permission to just take care of Ethan and leave everything else to get done later. Gotta love grandmas!!  Here are some pics of us at the game and Grandma Lori playing with Ethan.

How adorable can one little guy be?! I love love love his little chubby arms and legs :) What a little doll! Glad you and Brad were able to enjoy a game at the new stadium - it sounds like you have some great help! Miss you so much and hope to see you soon! xo
