Ethan's First Astros Game

We took Ethan to his first of many Astros games last weekend. He did so good! He loved looking at all the people and flirting with the girls in the seats behind us.

In other news, I started back to school on Monday. It's really hard leaving Ethan but my school is so close and my kids are all pretty good for the most part. I'm ready to get into a routine so things can calm down a little.

Ethan is doing really well - he's almost 6 months old and about ready to start baby food - yay!

5 Months!

Ethan is 5 months old already! I can't believe my baby boy is growing up so fast. We went to the doctor today for his 6-month checkup (a little early since I was trying to fit it in before I go back to work). He got another round of shots and was a bit fussy for the rest of the day. He weighs 16 pounds (50th%) and is 28 inches (90th%!!!!!!!)

Our little man is also now officially a thumb-sucker. At first I was nervous because I know I'll have to break him of that habit eventually but it's nice now because he can soothe himself for naps and at bedtime.

Here I am after I got my shots. :(

Yep, that's right. I suck my thumb now.

I am a Teacher Nerd

If you are a math teacher, then you probably know who Marcy Cook is. Anyway, I went to a math conference a few weeks ago and she was there presenting! And she agreed to take a picture with us - we were so excited! I tried to explain to Jake when I got home just how exciting this was but he just doesn't get it. "Babe, it's Marcy Cook, I said"!!!!! But I got nothin'. So I guess I'm just a teacher nerd.

Daddy has Ethan training early! :)
