Updates

Hello everyone! I know I said I was going to write in the blog on a more consistent basis, but at least I'm responding in less than a year! Our little boy has kept me quite busy! I guess I shouldn't say little, I weighed him yesterday and he is 14 pounds 8 ounces. He's not even 3 months yet and he has doubled his birth weight! He is an eating machine and I am grateful that we decided to go for the bottle feeding. He's doing really good for tummy time and he's holding his head up pretty good! He's smiling a lot more now and he always sticks out his tongue whenever he smiles! Unfortunately our little stinker wont hold the smile so we can take a picture (sorry Dad!), but hopefully we'll be able to get one soon!
Coming home from the hospital




Ethan at 2 1/2 months
We just had a visit from my friend from college Andrea and her little girl Maci. We had so much fun, but unfortunately most of the time that they were here we had thunderstorms most of the time. Andrea helped me get a lot of projects that I've been meaning to get done namely finishing Ethan's room. I'll post pictures tomorrow. It turned out so cute! Maci loved holding Ethan, but wasn't so sure when her mom held Ethan. It was great to see the two of them though and can't wait for them to come back!


There's not a whole lot of other exciting news from us. We planted our garden tonight so hopefully in a couple more weeks we'll have some vegetables! We did the traditional Lyons salsa garden this year and also did some cantaloupe, pumpkin, squash, & green beans. I'm hoping the last 4 will help us when it comes time for Ethan to start eating real food. I'm going to try out making his baby food, but we'll see how long that lasts!We're also waiting for Brett's test results to come in July. He feels pretty good about the test, but he doesn't fully relax until he has the results in hand!
