Well...

I Love You Lizzy!

For anyone who may not have heard yet we had a difficult day today. Our year old Maine Coon kitten, Lizzy had been having issues the past week or so, lethargic, not eating much and generally not being her usual rambunctious and playful self. Taking her to the vet this morning we found that she had Feline Lukemia, which, sadly, is untreatable. Rather than have her continue to waste away over the next few days or weeks the decision was made to put her to sleep.

So, in memory of her here are a few pictures. We will miss the games of fetch with the Christmas bows. The frustration when we find another of Kellie's shirts with the strings chewed off. The nose-to-nose stare when she wanted to be fed at 6 in the morning. Digging her out of whatever new spot she had found to hide in the baby's room. But most of all, we will miss her. Goodbye Lizzy, we loved you and you will always own a place in our hearts.

I personally(Kellie) am having a very difficult time with this because I grew extremely close to Lizzy.She was the first one I opened my eyes too every morning.She was my cuddle buddy during the night either right beside me or up on my pillow.I remember bringing her home last christmas when she was so so tiny and about 4 lbs if that.Its so hard to loose a loved one and many times your pets are harder to loose then a member of your own family.I loved you so much sweetheart and because of you I will always go maine coon.You have left a permenant place in my heart that will not be forgotten.

Grandma and Grandpa Visit

After our bath Saturday while his grandparents were here in his cute teddy bear towel.He has learned how to splash now too and got the whole front of my shirt soaking wet.Nice I know but hey at least I know he likes the tub.

Here is a pretty good picture Ethan and his Grandma.Hey at least he was looking at the camera this time.

Nice face huh.He looks a little hung over to me.He was getting a little tired by this point too.He had a long weekend.

He was getting a little tired by this point of the camera being in his face.

Sitting around watching some football on sunday afternoon with grandpa.Well Ethan was watching the football while everyone else was trying to get him to smile.

13 weeks

We have also discovered our voice this past week too and they are high pitch too.But he has been having a good old time playing since keeps him self entertained for up too an hour sometimes.All I had to do for this picture was say"Smile Ethan"!

I had just straightened him up not 5 minutes before and he was already wedging him self into a corner.

We prefer to lay sideways thank you very much.

Hmm,Should I go after the Cat or the Butterfly.

He can finally use the bumbo seat now that he has full head control.Which he is very proud of by the way.Look at that expression though.I guess he can make that face though after shopping all day with grandma and mommy he was a little worn out.

Such a sweet face and looks at those full cheeks.

He has really been enjoying the massage chair from aunt stacey.He prefers the vibrator over them massage cause he likes the movement of the shaking.My child is a little strange that way.

We have had many convertsations so far from his chair.

It totally relaxes him

My little Man

Here he managed to slide him self all the way off his mat and turnhim self completely side ways.Hes moving about let me tell ya.Its in his own method but still.Pushing off with those feet.

12 Weeks!

This is his new thing he loves to gnaw and bite down as hard as he can on our fingers and hands.Well as hard as you can get with no teeth and trust me he hurts bad enough already as hard and strong as his gums are.He is turning into a little drool machine.Let me tell ya.

Hehe! Cool Baby in mommy's sunglasses.He was very proud of himself as you can see too.We will have to get him his own before we go up to see Beau's family next month for his first trip.

Just a pictures of him not liking the camera here very much which so far hardly ever happens.Cause he tends to ham it up quite a bit.And as you can see he likes to wear as little as possible as much as he can.


And we had a very nice day out with daddy ro monday for his birthdayAll he wanted was to send time with us and I thought that was so sweet.Love you babe!

11 Weeks

I had to start out with one of my new favorite pictures of him.Isn't that just the cutest smile.Hes starting to fill out now too getting little rolls on his cheeks and legs.He loves to talk and squill recently.And now thats he has learned how he doesn't stop.It was so nice to cause he slept for 11 hours straight last night.I had to wake him him up to get him ready for church.Hes turning into a night owl just his mommy and daddy.

Snoozing away on the couch.We have to be careful now and watch him even closer now that he rolled over last Sunday.Has not done it since but we keep watchin.

Such a peaceful shot its rare for me too get such ones.

His First Football Game

Getting all pumped up on his mat before the game.

Go Team Go!

I don't know what call that was but Ethan did not agree with it cause look at that face.

The football game wore him completely out poor little guy.Its part of his life though especially if your in this family.

Waiting to watch his first Gator football game with daddy.Both of them were dressed on the proper coloring too.
