Mothers Day
We had a lovely mother's day weekend. Saturday we did some shopping and enjoyed some family together out for a nice lunch at a local sandwich shop. On Sunday we went out for a nice dinner. I love spending time with my two boys and it was a great way to celebrate the special occasion. Here are a few pictures from our weekend.

6 Months
Wow! That happened fast.. 6 months of Ethan's life have been completed. He is now half a year old.. hundreds of diapers and many sleepless nights have passed, but we love being parents and love our little guy. I think the last month has been my favorite so far. He has started to laugh more (but its still usually just a squeaky laugh) and he interacts more everyday. He is sleeping better. In the last week he has become more vocal about what he wants. He has started to whine more and go after toys more. It is amazing to watch him discover the world around him.
Here are some of the milestones he has met:
-Can roll both ways, but prefers to roll from back to tummy. He was doing this all the time, but recently I noticed it stopped for a bit. Once he masters something he stops it for a while and focuses on something else. Often he gets fussy when on his tummy for too long.
-He can reach for something, grab it, and put it in his mouth! - Dangerous!
-He can splash in the tub.
-He holds his head when pulled to sitting.
-He can sit with just a little support, and sit without support for a few moments, but then falls over.
-This month he learned to blow his lips and blow rasberries.. of course, once he got really good at it he stopped. :)
-First prescriptions (had pink eye about two weeks ago).
He LOVES to smile at people. He is very social but smiles for his mom and dad the most. He lights up when he realizes one of us in the room. His way of saying hello to someone is to give them a big grin! (Older ladies in the grocery store LOVE him).
He enjoys daddy time, especially when Steve kisses him and tickles his face with his his beard.. We love listening to his giggles.
He sucks his thumb when tired and is usually not a fan of the pacifier but will occasionally take it.
He has no teeth yet.
This month we also introduced solids for the first time. We have tried mashed up bananas and mashed up avocado. He spit most of it out. He was fascinated with the spoon but wasn't too excited about the strange taste on the spoon.
Next week we go for his 6 month doctors appointment... we are really looking forward to finding out his current weight, but we are not as excited about immunizations. Shots are never fun.
We are very excited to see what the Lord brings us during the next six months!
