5 months already...

Ethan is 5 months already this week! I can't say people didn't warn me that time would fly by but I jut didn't think it would fly that fast. Last Thursday we took Ethan to the horse races and he loved the people the noise and of course he loved being outside. I don't think we will go again tonight because Ethan and I had actually been there the last 2 weeks but tomorrow the 3 of us are going to go to the State Fair!!

Ethan has been such a good boy as always. I am wondering if some teeth are coming in because he is drooling like crazy AND chews on anything and everything he can. He loves when I put my finger on his gums and apply a little pressure ... stay tuned for teeth. I heard this past week that if we as adults went through the teething process we couldn't take the pain and most adults would take high doses of morphine as often as possible... so when Ethan starts to fuss, I won't get frustrated.

Here is a picture of Ethan being goofy 1 morning before Josh woke up. He thought he was pretty cool in his bandana.

Video

I took a video on my phone the other day of Ethan and I was so excited to share it but I can't figure out how to upload it. I am super bummed because I wanted you to hear and see something I love... Ethan giggling!!! It makes me smile and my heart melt every time I hear him do it. I can only wish him a lifetime of more laughs and joy. Oh, and more of those moments for me to witness.

My goal in life is to live everyday to its fullest potential for my family. To provide support, a full heart and to love my ownself so I can in turn love others. Ethan, I am so grateful to have you as my son and hope you realize someday what a simple smile does for another person.

Love you!

Back at it!


We had a fun week! Congrats to Monica and Duane for a beautiful wedding last Friday.
Ethan had a great time at his first wedding.

We have also been pretty busy working on ... well see the pictures below :)
Ethan tried green beans for the first time this week and you could probably say they are not his favorite. The night before Josh was hoping that Ethan would hate green beans so that we would never have to eat them as a family.... Josh's wish came true, well not 100% since we will still eat them as a family. I gave him a bite and he gagged and got the chills. I tried it again and it was a repeat- gag and chills. The third bit a just put on his lips becasue the 3rd time is a charm, right? Wrong! He spit them all over me. We were done with green beans for the day. Now I hide them in sweet potatoes and Ethan has now ate a whole container of green beans.


Since dad has to work tonight Ethan and I are going to hit up the races!!! Wish us luck!


Enjoy!

Yes the bottom right hand corner is a picture of Ethan's feet because he tipped over when I snapped the picture- had to add it! He is okay just a little scared since it was quite a fall.
