Sorry it has taken us so long to post, but we have been busy. I had to go back to work on November 18 so we had a lot to prepare for. We hired a nanny, Deneen to look over Ethan while I am at work. She is working out great and Ethan is adjusting to the change. Ethan did see his pediatrician Tuesday and he is up to 13 lbs 8 oz!



Ethan and I at my parent's boat club's annual ball. This year my dad was Commodore. We had a good time and Ethan was such a gentlemand!

(Yes, I did get my hair cut and have bangs for the first time since middle school.)









Ethan is getting so strong. He was able sit up while on my lap. I didn't have to hold him up for support for a few seconds.












The weather is getting chilly so Ethan had to get bundled up to go to the grocery store with me. From the looks of it, he may enjoy his cold weather apparel.

He is smiling and cooing more often. Ethan has a facination with lights and likes staring at Christmas lights.

Ethan and I on Thanksgiving. The turkey just came out of the oven and he is getting excited!

Here is Ethan with my cousin's children. Next to Ethan is Madelien, Kaley and Alex. They had a lot of fun on Thanksgiving.

Ethan was alert and seeing the family.

Ethan just hanging out smiling!

Ethan is now 2 months old. We went for his 2 month check-up and he is a growing boy!

Weight: 11 lbs 12 oz (50th percentile)

Height: 22 inches (25th percentile)

When he was born he was in the 10th percentile for both weight and height. He is growing at a steady rate.

He also received 5 vacinations. Though they are necessary, it was difficult seeing him upset while getting the shots.

Ethan also had his first voting experience. He waited in line and watched me fill out the ballot.

Michael, Ethan and I met with several potenital nannies this week. We were pleased with our options and have narrowed it down to two. Once we check their references we will offer the position to one to have them start on November 17 as I have to go back to work on November 18 :(.

Happy Halloween!

Ethan was resting to get ready for Halloween. Grandma and Grandpa came over to help pass out tricks and treats.

Thankfully the weather cooperated this year as he was able to be outside for a majority of the early evening.

Our neighborhood sure enjoys Halloween! The neighbors across the street had a fire pit going in their front yard and tiki torches lining their walk-way. It was nice as we were able to meet more of the families in our sub.

Ethan is looking forward to next Halloween so he can Trick or Treat!
