Ethan turns ONE!!!!

Can't believe that Ethan is already a "big" boy already! We took him into the doctor and he got three shots. The Dr. said he looks perfect :)
His stats are:
Length 76.5 (65%)
Weight 9.8 kg (31%)
Head 48.6 cm (95%) That must mean he is going to be really smart!

Trip back to Mankato

Nathan had a home show in Mankato, so we spent the whole weekend there. Ethan spent Friday night with Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Mike. On Sat we took Ethan to get pictures taken with real bunnies with his cousin Colton at Drummers nursery.
He then got to spend Sat night at the Hendrycks farm with my dad and Julie. There he got to pet the horses for the first time and got to ride on the tractor with papa. He really liked it.

We are getting prepared for the big party on Sat. We are having a party at Valentino's Pizza, mostly because there will be 30 people there!!! Way too many people for my house and way too messy to clean up!!

Can't believe he will be ONE on Friday! Ethan is walking about 4 steps or so at a time and then he decides thats enough and will get down and crawl. He has so much personality now, it is so fun to interact with him when he is being goofey. He really knows how to ham it up to get attention :)

We have also been busy with our kitchen. We tore down the wall inbetween the kitchen and dining room and put in an island with the help of my dad. The new countertops will hopefully be in this week. We also got new stainless stell appliances on Thur. I was lucky enough to get the MN rebate for $200 for the refrigerator.

Nathan is done with home shows until next spring. Which he is very happy about!! Those get to be very long weekends. The work for him is starting to pick up since it has been so nice out.

My job is going really well, nothing really new to report there. I am glad I have such a great job and benefits! We are really lucky!!

10 MONTHS

WOW!! 10 months have flown by!
Where do I start?
Ethan is getting so big. He is now into everything! He is walking behind push toys, waving hi and bye, shaking his head no when he dosn't want something. (Except his sippy cup, that thing he just throws on the floor :)
He is also starting to drink out of a regular "big boy" cup. He thinks it's the coolest thing! It is also fun to watch him trying all new finger foods that we eat, even though it can be pretty messy sometimes.
We finally out baby latches on the kitchen cabinets, he has learned how to open those and the oven.

The last 3 days have been rough for him. Because of his re-occuring ear infections, he had to get a shot once a day for 3 days of an antibiotic. They did this because he had had the strongest oral antibiotics and it did not get rid of the last ear infection.
We are taking him in on Feb 22 to see an ENT doctor, and possibly talking about putting tubes in his ears.

He also has a "girlfriend" at day care. She is 2 1/2 and tells Ethan all the time how much she loves him and always gives him hugs, I guess she rarely leaves his side.

That is all I can think of right now. I will post some pictures tonight (hopefully).

FIRST WORD!!!

So Ethan is always babbling, so many times it sounds like he is saying mama or dada. But today he defiantly said mama!!!

He also had 2 more teeth come in, so he is up to 6 now. Two on top and four on bottom.



That's all, just excited that he is saying mama :o)

WE SURVIVED!






Well, we all survived Ethan's first Christmas. He was spoiled like we knew he would be. We have so many new toys for him! We will be putting s good majority away, and then introduce them through out the year.
We bought him the cutest outfit for Christmas, complete with his first very own clip on tie :)

He is also now pulling himself up onto anything! He loves to stand now and is attempting to take a few steps now and then. He is walking behind a wagon that he puses around the room.

We also got a new Nikon digital SLR camera!!! I can't wait to start taking some great pictures of Ethan.

Thats all for now...
