Our Growing Boy

Soooooo... we just had Ethan's 2 month checkup- yes he is just over 2 months, but hey who's keeping track? It was pretty eventful for us as first time parents because it was his first round of immunizations, as well as another chance for us to see how he measures up in size! So Fun!!! So here are the stats and it looks like he is definitely not taking after the Heiner side...

Weight - 12 lb. 8 oz       55th percentile

Height - 23 1/2 in.          75th percentile

Head Circ. - 15 1/2 in.   75th percentile

So it looks like we've got a tall boy with a large brain- perfect!!! I just knew he'd be smart- he gets that from his mother!

As far as the shots went, well I think he had a sense of his impending doom all the way to the doctors because I couldn't get a smile out of him- see for yourself!...

 

Some of our other adventures of the past week.....

We played frisbee golf at the park... I think he enjoyed himself

Ethan's first trip to the mall- probably one of very few experiences at the mall if he's like his Dad

Dave and Ethan tuckered out after following the girls around the mall

His little fohawk (sp.?)

Can you tell his father picked out the outfit

What a cute boy!

 What can I say- we have the cutest little boy I've ever seen- I am absolutely obsessed with him- We just love making him smile, cuddling, playing with toys and just spending time together as a little family! David is such a great Dad and just dotes on his little boy- we can't get enough of him and are enjoying this time we have together- what a blessing he has been for us!

Updates

So just a few more updates on our little man-cub...
 His most recent stats as of Friday...

9 lbs 15 oz

21 3/4 inches long

overall 25-50th percentile (not exactly sure how that works)

So he's not huge but I feel pretty good about it- especially since he is steadily growing- that's the most important right!? He's also starting to smile while he's awake and not just when he has gas- it is amazing the ridiculous things that David and I will do to get him to smile but it is totally worth it! He is so adorable and we love him to death!
David is in his third week of his masters program and from what I can tell it is going pretty well so far- I am in my fourth week of living in Boise and have managed to find my way to Albertsons, WalMart, Boise State, and the Distribution Center. I have driven on the freeway once and I didn't get lost so I feel highly accomplished. As for little Ethan, here's what he is really up to...

Sooo....my son gave me an arm hicky- (sp.?) I don't think he feels very sorry!

Somehow his thumbs always seem to escape the sleeve covers

his first swimsuit and first experience at the pool- very eventful for him!

like father like son...such handsome boys!

 

 

 So here are a few pictures from a photo shoot I gave him since he hadn't finished messing his britches...it's just a bad idea to change him when he's still working on it!!! But seriously he was so happy to be working on his bowels I just couldn't resist snapping a million photos of his adorable face!

not sure what's going on here but I like it

What a smirky little smile! Don't worry it's just a pooping smile not an "I love my mommy smile"

OK SERIOUSLY he is just a handsome little guy...

Whoever says that boys are harder to dress up just hasn't had the opportunity!

Second swimming adventure...post swim and he is still out!

he loves his hands- or hates them but has no idea he can control them!

 Now here's the thing- I don't appear in hardly any pictures but I promise Ethan does have a mother and David, a wife- I just have nothing to wear that fits and frankly never have time to get ready for the day- plus how many guys just sit and take pictures- not many so that leaves the photos to me...but I love my role- it is just a whole new adventure fitting into it-I'm no pro yet at organizing my time- in fact I'm far from it, but as long as everyone eats and no one has died I figure I've accomplished something in my day!
