Loving those green beans!

Ethan started solids not too long ago and some go over better than others. He loves his rice cereal and as far as his veggies go...I'll just let you watch the video. Thomas and I are having so much fun with him. He's a wonderful little boy and we're so proud!

Father's Day Fun!



Father's Day this year brought new excitement to our family! I consider myself extremely blessed to have such wonderful guys in my life. Thomas is so much more than I could have asked for in a husband and he is a great father to Ethan. Ethan is very fortunate to be surrounded by a great father and also great grandfathers! We were at the Mall of America this father's day and had a great time. We also checked out Ikea since Thomas had never been there. It's quite the experience and a bit overwhelming. Ethan is a great traveler because he loves that car seat and would take a nap in it over his crib any day. I won't mention what I have tried in an effort to get him to take a nap in his crib. If anyone reading this has any pointers, I'd love to hear them! He had his 6 month appointment with shots and all. He weighed in at 18.5 and really hasn't grown a whole lot. The doctor says that this is normal around this age because he is becoming more active and burning off some of those calories. He is now able to start fruits and vegetables so this week we are experimenting with avocados and it isn't going so well. We will make a few more attempts and move on to something more appetizing to him. I try not to laugh, but Ethan is so dramatic when he doesn't like something. He actually makes himself get sick...I might have to post a video clip of this for some good laughs. =) Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there.

I'm growing up!


We have has such an exciting week! Ethan decided that he would like to see the world in a whole new way by sitting up on his own. He is confidant only when he knows that mom and dad are right there to catch him just in case he might tip over. He also had his first roll and now he just can't stop. He has mastered rolling back to front and is working on rolling over to his back. He just needs a little motivation. We are so proud of him and are enjoying all of his new developments. Tomorrow we will go in for his 6 month appointment...boy, time really goes fast. I can't believe he is coming up on his half year birthday. He's growing up to be such a wonderful boy!

Fun on the Farm




We had such a wonderful time this past weekend back in West Branch where we spent time at the Fawcett's pond for a family reunion. We were able to meet new friends and family as we enjoyed great food and fun. Ethan really enjoyed being outside in grandma Fawcett's garden where he attempted to eat just about anything he could get his hands on. Grandpa then took him on his first tractor ride. He was all set to start helping out on the farm. We had a great weekend! Hope you enjoy the pics. We love you all.
