Our summer #1

I have been so bad about posting so there will probably be several over the next couple of days (If I remember).



Sam had eye surgery!

His first surgery was in June and the second was done the end of July. He had surgery to fix his keratoconus and correct his vision. The second surgery was pretty intense. He had to be completely unconscious and they worked on him for nearly 2 1/2 hours. Afterwords, the doctor told him for the first five days he had to remain motionless and keep his eyes closed. He was bored after the first 5 minutes.

Sam is doing great now. Before the surgery his vision was somewhere around 20/500 and 20/600 and now it is 20/25.

Done!

I'm done! I just finished my last final, my very last final. Finally, I'm done! I now have, well at least I will when my grades are posted, a BS in Anthropology and a BS in Political Science. And so I must say, congratulations to me!

It's Been a While

Wow, it has been forever since I posted. I just haven't really been in the mood, but now I am so be prepared, there are a ton of pictures.

Since my last post in February, Ethan has grown up a lot (Sam and I have too, but the change isn't as obvious). Currently, Ethan is 9 months old and has 6 teeth (4 on top, 2 on bottom), likes to bite me (but no one else), and crawls all over the place. Sam is on the bike squad and I am in my last semester at the U.

The pictures are from oldest to most recent.

Ethan's swing said it was for infants up to 25 pounds, but we had to stop using it a while ago because Ethan would lean forward and hold on to the pole or he would hold the toys and make the motor grind.

Just in case you were wondering, we don't smile all the time.

Ethan loves being read to. Currently his favorite book is "Night, Night, Little Pookie." He squeals when you start reading it.

He is starting to climb and will use anything he can get his feet on. He has made it on top of the couch a few times.

Ethan is obsessed with the camera. As soon as he sees it makes a mad dash towards it; you only get shot and then he's on the move.

Ethan loves fresh peaches. He won't eat them mashed or cut up, he likes to bite it.

Ethan loves playing with his daddy and no one can get Ethan laughing like Sam.

4 Months Old

Ethan had his 4 month check-up this week. It was so sad when he got his shots, he had tears streaming down his face.

27 inches - 95%
16 lbs - 80%

Giggly Little Boy

What have we been up to lately?

Being cute,

celebrating Christmas,

being even more cute,

(this outfit got completely stained yellow by a monster poop)

trying to fit into newborn sized outfits (Sam was changing Ethan - another exploding poop - and I could hear Sam struggling and Ethan getting mad. Turns out, it was difficult to fit into a newborn sized onsie.)

sleepingn peacefully,

playing our new piano,

and making a mess.

Our toilet (yes it was blue just like the tub - so was the sink) was leaking pretty badly so we had to tear up the floor. We are going to replace the tub, toilet, sink, and tile, so if you know anyone who loves blue, let us know.
