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!
Ethan is so handsome and I love him! I want to hold and snuggle him! Daisy I miss you and I bet you look gorgeous everyday all day. Tell david good luck in school and to stay awesome!
ReplyDeleteHe's pretty darn cute, and don't worry a bit about what "percentile" he is in, that's just another way to compare babies, and as long as he's growing, who cares?! Can't wait to meet your husband and son. Speaking of, you should hop a ride with some of Misti's family when they come up next and visit us in big ol' Spokane! We'd love to have you.
ReplyDeletehaha the picture of him and david made me laugh so hard!! He is already changing. Gezz they grow so fast! We definitely need to have a phone date soon!!
