Bluebonnets!

On Saturday, we went and took pictures in the Texas Bluebonnets. Ethan did great, even though he can't sit up by himself, we still got a few great pictures. It was a lot of fun and we can't wait to make it a annual tradition.

Happy Easter!

Easter morning 2010

This is our Easter morning...

Maggie went searching for eggs left by the Easter buuny!!! Look what she found. Yes, that is Ethan being cranky in the background....he just wanted to hunt for eggs, too!

Maggie also got a bone, and she couldn't wait to get it open.

Ethan enjoyed his first Easter morning. The Easter Bunny was really good to him and left him lots of treats. He got an Elmo hooded towel, which made him smile. We talked with Grandma and Grandpa L. in Denmark over Skype this morning, and this afternoon going over to Grandma and Grandpa M.'s house. More pictures to come later...Happy Easter!!!

We were looking in the egg.

Happy Birthday Maggie!

Today is Maggie's fourth birthday. We went to the park and shared a cheeseburger. The cheeseburger was her favorite. She could have done without the walk--such a lazy dog. After the park she came home and slept the rest of the day. Doesn't she look good in her new collar?

Month Three

WOW…this month has flown by so fast!!! I can’t believe that my little boy is already three months old. He is growing so fast, and each day we fall in love with him more and more. Here are some highlights from the past month.

· Ethan weighs about 10 pounds. His carrier gets heavier and heavier each time I take it out of the car.
· He meet his Great Grandpa Lehmann.
· We went to see the animals at the zoo for the first time.
· We meet the Easter bunny at the mall. He didn’t cry—which was a relief. He looked so tiny in the Easter bunny’s arms.
· He talked with his grandparents in Denmark via Skype.
· Ethan made a new friend. J Chris turned on Sesame Street the other morning and Ethan got so excited when he saw Elmo. I think it is the colors and music, but Elmo seems to calm him down.
· He is starting to grab for things…toys, our shirts, my necklace and hair.
· He is sleeping really well at night on an average of 6-7 hours a night. Actually, he slept 9 hours last night…it was the first time that I went to check to see if he was still breathing. He was actually snoring logs in the crib.
· Ethan is “talking” and gurgling more and more each day. He smiles at us every day and it melts my heart each time. Me and my new friend

First Visit to the ZOO

Today we went to the zoo, along with half of the city. It was such a pretty day to be outside, and we wanted Ethan to visit the zoo. It started out bumpy, when it took an hour and fifteen minutes to find a parking spot. Chris was ready to turn around and go home, but he continued to look, just for Ethan. I told him that this is what parenting is...looking for a parking spot even though you would rather be home watching the basketball games. :) Look at those long necks. What do you think, dude?

We watched a mother and baby monkey play.

What a day, I am exhausted.

Ethan was asleep when we got there...well, we had been in the car for a while. We walked over to the giraffes first. Chris got him out of the stroller, and he seemed to be upset ,and I thought oh no!!! But he woke up and even seemed to enjoy being outside and wore his hat proudly. Doesn't he look adorable? We then went to look at the elephants. He was fixed on what I thought was the elephants, but when I looked up, it was a bird that was in the tree. But hey, it was an animal and we were at the zoo. He took a couple naps and was awake for a while. It was fun day and we couldn't have asked for better weather.

We walked around some more and talked to him about the animals. I can imagine that in a few years, he is going to be running around telling us about the animals. That time will be here before we know it. When we got to the car I changed his diaper in the back, and then I asked him if he had fun today at the zoo...watch the video to see his answer.




What a GREAT day! I can't wait to go back.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

So we were trying to get Maggie to pose with Ethan...from the look of the picture...both were having trouble posing.

You are a McCutie!!!
