My First Christmas!

Ethan just had his first Christmas and we were doing some traveling too all over the place so we would not miss anyone.We really enjoyed being with family all week long.And it was tring ,but it was well worth it.He really enjoyed being the center of attention and yes he came back even more rotten.It will take a week too decrease the rotten but thats ok.Its moments like this that you treasure forever.

We let Ethan open up a few gifts from Beau and I before and after we got back too.So yes the kid got to open presents all week long.

We are trying to open this ourself here without mommy's help.Have to see what is in there.

This was the best gift of all this Christmas!

Trying to play with as many toys as I can at once here.Having him a good old time.

Just chillin out over at Gigi's in Jacksonville.Accept for Christmas day this is pobably where we got to relax the most cause it was just us and my grandmother.

Doesn't this just scream look at me look at me!

Ethan and Gigi taking a nap together.

Pop's laying down on the floor playing with Ethan.Which I think was of the things he most enjoyed.Even though he may not admit it.

He was so tired by the end of every day.Just not used to all this attention and people around him all the time.

Opening first gift on Christmas on Pop's lap.He wanted Ethan to open his first.I think he was more excited about giving it to Ethan then Ethan was too rip it open.He did like the bows though.

Almost every time his picture got taken he would shut his eyes cause the flash was too bright.But he will just have to suck it up and deal cause this is only just the beginning.

Waiting for his next present to be given to him.

Christmas Eve at Aunt Robin's in Tallahassee.He was the center of attention as you can tell below.Put him down in the middle of the floor and he was the amusement for the night and a big hit too add.His cousin Sam decides to show him how to be a fish.

Opening the gift his Aunt Beth and Aunt Robin gave him.

Wow! A crawl though gym.

Cute huh?His Pop's decided to loan out his cap for some picture taking.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

We are 6 Months!

LOOK NO HANDS!Thats right Ethan is sitting all by himself now.I'm so proud.We went in for our 6 month checkup today and yes got shots(boo would say Ethan).My big boy is a whooping 17 pounds and 4 ounces and over 28 inches long.He will be 1/2 a year on monday man where does the time go.We will be traveling for christmas this year and he will finally meet the rest of the family (on both sides) he has not seen yet.Hes a mover so everyone better watch out he rolls and slides everywhere so he will need to be gated off starting right after christmas.Look out everybody here I come!
Look at those deep blue eyes if he keeps those I am in trouble let me tell ya.Look out girls ya'll will not be the only heartbreakers on the block!

Didn't quite know what to make of the squash the first time.But the next day he loved it so its looking like so far I'm not going to have overly picky child.

We are Mr.Cool here sporting our shades.Of course I dare not go anywhere now without his favorite Bug.Of which we are not sure excatly what it is but he loves the thing.

Oh my gosh! Look at this expression.Its totally Beau.I about rolled in my seat when I took this one.

And as always we have to include our other 3 children in from time to time too.I have my hands full with everyone.Having the kittens around seems like I have two toddlers which get into everything.But they a lot of fun though and good entertainment for Ethan when I need a break.

My little drooly man as hard as he working on those teeth man they better be worth it.They will I know but tell that too him right now.As he chews on everything he can get his mouth on or around.

Random Pictures!

As you can tell Ethan is starting to get mobile.He has gotten up on his knees a few times but can't figure out yet where to go from there.Hes after Chatter in this picture.He loves the kitties.They are not scared of him(YET!).

As you can see my child loves to eat.Hes trying to assist me in helping with the spoon to make it gets in his mouth in record timing.Give me my Sweet Tators mom.

Stay away from my scratching pad and no one gets hurt.

Must be a nice life huh.All I have to do is eat,sleep,play and see how many toes I can nibble on before the day is done.

Sleeps anywhere as you might tell me attempted to snuggle up in the lower shelf of one of Beau's bookcases and sleep.

Just wait in a few months I'll be able to take that camera away from you daddy.And drool all over it.

5 Months!

We are over 5 months old and we have a lot going on too catch up on.We love to eat solid foods now.He has yet to refuse anything I put on a spoon.Especially Bananas and oatmeal so far we can not get enough of.We can sit up now by ourself if his arms are supporting him in the front for about a few minutes before we move and fall face forward.We started to roll over in both directions now too.So we now roll to get were we want to go.

He got to have mash potatoes on his first Thanksgiving too.He was loving it too.

We have personality too a strong one!

Daddy is trying to make him smile when he clearly doesn't want too here.

Are not I cute as a button.

MMM! Carrots!

We starting baby food this weekend.And this was his very first reaction to carrots on the first bite.This will be one of the priceless pictures for a while to come.After the first bite he took too it just fine.He even tries to help me get the spoon in his mouth faster by grabbing my hand.Its food what do I expect!

See we are fine now that the shock is over.

MMM,Real food hes going to like this new adjustment.

He got it all down the first time.I was not surprised but I was still very proud.

Wet Cats!

Nice huh!This was the kittens first bath results before they dried.They were very displeased with to say the least.They love water but only to their doing.I even got some 360 flips out of both of them while I was stilling holding on to them by the back of the neck they were screaming like no body's business.It hwas funny!

One big happy family!

Well Ethan will smile like a fool in pictures in his own element as you can tell.He will be 5 months old next weekend.Wow I think he will be a year old before I know it.I think Beau and I are mare excited about his first christmas then anything else this holiday season too.It will be soo much fun!

As you can see candid shots work the best for him.

Watching T.V. from his exersaucer.

Isn't that the cutest face you've ever seen.

Cereal Face!

This was too cute to pass up.

I do believe Callie likes too have her picture taken because I seem to get her a posed position almost every time.She knows that she is queen of this castle.

Noah was hogging the straching pad the other night and not letting anyone even sniff it.Well do you blame him it has "kitty crack" in it.

Chatter has a mind of his own.Look at this expression on his face.He really didn't want the camera in his face.

Noah has taken to callie more so then the other.Its really sweet when he lets her snuggle up next to him.

A rare moment that will come all three settled down together on the bed fixing to take nap.
