Daddy has Ethan training early! :)

Mommy's Been Busy!

Wow - haven't blogged in a while! Let's see...Ethan is about 4 1/2 months now and seems to be able to do more and more each day. He's been grasping objects better and likes to touch everything, most of it ending up in his mouth! He is getting really close to flipping over to his tummy from his back too. He's mastered rice cereal and I can't wait to start him on more solids - but we need the OK from his pediatrician first - so just a little while longer. Our little man is growing so fast!

I've been busy up at school getting my room ready and preparing for another year. I have mixed feelings about all this - I'm super excited to be opening up a brand new school but also nervous about being a mommy AND teacher. Hope I can do it!

I also celebrated my 28th birthday a few weeks ago at a really fun hibachi grill with friends.
Here are a few recent pics:

4 Months

Ethan is 4 months old today! Nothing new and exciting is going on - I'm just really enjoying my summer with him and getting depressed that it's almost over.

Ethan's new favorite thing to do is roll over to his back while he's sleeping - then it wakes him up and he CRIES and can't get back to sleep. So Mommy has to climb the stairs 3+ times a night to roll him back. Super fun! It's like he's a newborn again with all this nighttime waking. I guess I'm just going to have to let him cry until he learns to sleep on his back.

Here are some recent pics of my sweet little chunky man:

He LOVES bathtime!

Swinging!

One morning when I went to get him - such a sweet little guy in his jammies!

Here is Ethan with his buddy Sam - they are 3 days apart!

What cuties!

Playdate

The other day, I hosted a playdate with some friends from work and their little ones. Here are a few pics:


Evan and Ethan. Check out their first pic together here (Ethan was only 1 week old).

Faith and Ethan. Check out their first pic together here. They grow up too fast!

All the babies...

Ethan got his first kiss from a girl! Daddy was so proud.

4th of July

Ethan had a great first 4th of July! We spent the day hanging out with friends swimming and cooking out. Ethan went to bed before the firewords started - hopefully he'll get to enjoy them next year!
