4 Months Old

I can't believe that Ethan is already 4 months old! He weighs 17 lbs., is 25.5 inches tall, is slowly mastering sitting up on his own and rolling over. He's just a little bundle of joy who loves to smile and laugh. Here's Little E. in his new "big boy" (6 mo. old) clothes.

I don't know about you, but we think he's stinkin' cute.

Projects & Playtime

I had been wanting to refinish this old dresser that Ben had since his 1st year of law school for Ethan's room and I finally did it this week. Some sanding, priming, painting and spray painting hardware was all it took. We're pretty happy with the results, but for now it'll be hanging out with some of our other furniture downstairs until we move.

After

Also, today we were able to finally go to the Museum of Play, which was pretty amazing. Ethan couldn't really enjoy it, but since it was free admission (thanks HSE) we decided to check it out. We will definitely be getting a pass there when Ethan gets old enough.

Lastly, I just had to include a picture of Ethan while he was attempting to hold his head up during tummy time as well as a picture of his adorable thunder thighs.

New Video for the Grandparents

Here is a video of Ethan learning to laugh. Like always, you never quite get the best laugh when the video camera is on, but that's just how the cookie crumbles.

Not too much else is going on around here. Now that we've bought the new house, an armoire and a TV, we don't feel like we're allowed to spend any more money for a long time. For that reason, we stayed home tonight and ate quesadillas and drank chocolate milk.

For those of you whose work blocks YouTube, here's a photo of the little guy during his last bath.

What's Going On?

It's been a little while since I last posted, so here's what's been going down:

Ben had a birthday, shout hooray! He's now one year older and wiser too (sorry for no post on the actual day, Aug. 31st. I'm a bad wife).

Ethan has started to grab onto everything. Hair, my clothes, his toys, blankets... he often falls asleep in his car seat while holding on to his toy.


I went back to work, which leaves Ethan feeling like this. Just kidding. It's only 8 hours a week and he gets to hang out with his little buddy Benjamin Abbass while I'm gone. My maternity leave for Gap ends on Monday. I may be going back to work there too.

Ethan has gotten cuter, if that's possible. He now weighs about 16 lbs. Yikes! I think I'm going to teach him how to walk early so I don't have to lug him around.
