Uncle Sean and Aunt Dani Come to Town

Well, Uncle Sean and Aunt Dani came to Tucson for the first time to meet Ethan. We had a great time. Their plane arrived 30 minutes early, if you can even believe that. Well, we hung out at the Embassy Suites, went to La Encantada, and then we had a big BBQ at the house.

The next day we went to Carefree to go out on the lake. First, we drove around looking for a hair straightener for Dani, and found several, and then we piled in the car. After a quick trip to Chipotle, we were off an running to Phoenix.

We went out on the lake on Saturday morning, and even though it was very windy and cold, we had a great time. Uncle Sean tried wakeboarding, and got up, for about 30 seconds. He was a champ. Aunt Dani held Ethan and kept him warm and happy.

Sunday was sad because we had to say goodbye to them. I hope they come back to visit soon!

Born to be a WILDCAT

Well, my parents are both total U of A Wildcat fans. Because of this, they like to dress me up in all kinds of Wildcat clothing, and just blue and red in general. I really like the Wildcats, well, the basketball team anyway. The football team is doing ok too. Either way, GO CATS!

I love my Giraffe

Morning is Ethan's favorite time of day....and he is starting to really get into his toys. He especially loves to hold his Giraffe and sleeps with it at night. This was taken when Ethan was 12 weeks and 1 day old. I can't believe how fast he is growing!

Grandma and Grandpa Come to Town

Well, two weeks ago Grandma and Grandpa came out for a visit. We all had a great time. Ethan had fun hanging out with Grandma while I got to go to the gym and Jon got to play soccer, and then we all took Ethan for his very first swim (in a pool--no life vest needed).


While he cried at first when we got it (the water was a little cold) he quickly warmed up to the idea of swimming and loved being in the pool.

Ethan is the luckiest baby around, he is so loved by all.

It runs in the Family

Well, I think this will answer everyone's question....who does Ethan look like? Here is a picture of Tiffie as a baby and one of Ethan. Think there is a resemblance?

Happy Baby

2 Months Old and Feelin Fine

Ethan is now officially 2 months old...which means a lot of things. First, it means that we have survived with him for almost 10 weeks. Second, it means that he is growing like a weed, and third, it means his first shots. It also means that he can sleep all the way through the night and it is time for fun things like play groups, baby gyms, and of course more tummy time!

We took Ethan in for his 2 month appointment and he measured 24 inches long!! To which, Jon replied, "Hey dude, you are 2 feet now!" Too Cute!! He weighed in at a whopping 12 pounds, 12 ounces, and is perfect in every way according to his pediatrician.

At 2 feet long, he is almost out of his Mutsy bassinet, and it will be time soon to move to the other part of the stroller, the super seat.

Ethan got a lot of shots for his first round, three actual pricks in the thighs, and then one oral one. I had to hold him, cause Jon could not look. Ethan screamed when poked for about 10 seconds, then went right to sleep, and slept most the of the afternoon. Those shots stink though!

Milestones for Ethan at month 2:

He is laughing and smiling on cue. He can turn his head from side to side to follow things. He likes to push himself up when on his tummy. He really likes to wiggle and move around the floor and the bed. He likes to do leg squats on Jon every morning. He loves to read books, especially Goodnight Moon. He likes to take baths, and loves to kick his legs like he is swimming. He finds the dog fascinating and has started to squeal and blow bubbles out his mouth!
