That First Toothless Grin

You have been smiling in your sleep since we brought you home. It's the cutest little thing, but it is definitely not in reaction to anything we do. However, at 4 weeks old I got you out of bed and during our morning play time you smiled at me. And then you smiled again, and again, and again. Apparently, you think I'm hilarious! When I realized I could actually make you smile I busted out the camera. You are too cute and I'll never forget that morning!

Picture a Day: Week 4

This was probably the worst week as far as Ethan's baby acne was concerned. I took him to the doctor twice for it, and at his regular scheduled 1 month check up, the doctor finally decided it was an extreme enough case and gave us some antibiotic gel. It worked wonders!

I look back at baby pictures and wonder why my mom would ever take photos of me with an acne covered face. Well here is why, it was part of my "babyhood" and now Ethan it is a part of yours. You can hate me later for posting these!

Birth Announcements

Sticking with the Sock Monkey theme, these birth announcements should have made their way to your mailbox in the form of a post card!

Welcome to Bath Time!

Your umbilical cord fell off so we can now give you a bath!!

You weren't sure how you felt about it at first so you peed in the water. But after draining and refilling your bath you decided it wasn't so bad.

I really hope bath time becomes one of your favorite things to do soon! I love baby baths and babies all wrapped up in towels!

First trip to the Pediatrician

5 days post birth, Ethan is almost back to his birth weight.

Weight: 10 lbs 3 oz (95th percentile)

Height: 21 1/2 inches long (90th percentile)

Head: Big (95th percentil)

You are a growing boy, and the doctor told me I have a "truck load of milk." I guess I'll take that as a compliment.
