Command center

Ethan loves to stand up and insists upon it even though he cannot do it by himself yet. We decided to get him an exercise saucer ( I call it his command center)so he could sit or stand all he wanted and I could try (haha) and get stuff done around the house. 

It came in a ton of pieces

But I figured it out quickly and soon we were playing

He really likes it but so much for getting stuff done..... He insists I play with him!

Father's Day

For a Father's Day gift I decided to do a craft for John. This way Ethan could be involved :) This is what we made-

We had to have a little photo shoot to get a good pic 

We love John so much and hope he had a great day!

First hockey game!

A week after his first baseball game we took Ethan to his first hockey game. Again, he did so well! He is always so good when he sits on his daddy's lap. 

Here he is all ready to go!

He fell asleep during the second break but woke up to watch the end of the game. 

I usually carry him in the carrier that is in this picture when I need my hands or space in the shopping cart. He usually doesn't mind being in his carrier and will just watch what's going on or sleep. This time was different. This time his daddy was there. He is such a daddy's boy! When he realized John could of been holding him he started screaming. I thought it was just because he was tired but the second he was in johns arms .... silence. 

First baseball game

We took Ethan to his first baseball game a couple weeks ago. We had a couple extra tickets so we invited another couple who also have a baby under 1. 

Connor ( Lindsayanne and Byron's baby) does NOT like car rides but we were able to keep him happy for a little while. 

Once we got there Ethan just watched everything that was going on. John held him most of the time and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't of had it any other way. 

He is such a daddy's boy!

I didn't know this before but at most sporting events you can go to the customer service and they give you something if its your first time there. At Dodgers stadium they have a certificate and a sticker. John got him the little hat. 

They were also giving out fatheads to all the kids! 

We all had a lot of fun and I'm glad Ethan did so well at his first sporting event!

THREE MONTHS!!

Ethan is now 3 months old! Weighing in at 17.8 lbs and measuring 26 inches long this kid is growing fast! 

First Day At Church

Ethan had a great first day at church! He was quiet and slept most of the time. So many people enjoyed seeing him and we definitely enjoyed showing him off :)

Getting out!

We went for our first walk today. Well, our first walk off our property. I have taken Ethan on several "walks" around the house. I bundle him up in the stroller and we walk around the outside of the house. Today we went to the closest stop sign and back. Instead of the stroller we took one of our slings. Ethan slept the whole time but I think that means he liked it. :)

Obsessed

I can't get enough of this little guy! I love him so much!! I still don't feel like I'm a mommy yet but I can't imagine life without him and he is not even two weeks old.

First bath

We gave Ethan his first " bath" at home tonight. He didn't care for it much but I think he will like baths much more when he can get in the water.

HE'S HERE!!!

Our little man has been here breathing air with us for 24 hours now!! After all we went through on March 10th and the morning if the 11th I'm just so glad we are blessed enough to still have him here with us.

Almost 37 weeks!!

Yesterday we had our last ultrasound and Ethan is looking perfect! The ultrasound tech said he is head down and looking really healthy! She estimated his weight at 6 pounds. He should be gaining a half pound a week from now until birth so we estimate his birth weight to be about 7 and a half pounds.

He has always been difficult about showing us his face in ultrasounds but our tech was able to get a few decent ones. I labeled the pictures on the left side so hopefully you know what your looking at on the right.

We have had this tech before and she is so nice!

When the tech handed me this photo she said this was his kiss photo! I agree! Just look at those puckered lips!! So cute! I can't wait to kiss them!

The things people say....

Pregnant women know when they are big. It is not necessary for you to remind them every time they walk in a room.....

Valentines Day

This is our last Valentines Day that will be just the two of us. John has a great date planned for us on Saturday but I still wanted to have something special on the day. I made his favorite, Salmon and roasted potatoes ( heart shaped of course). I dressed up the table and the flowers were from John :)
