Dad's turn to update

Well since I had bought the camera and video recorder for Kelsey, I figured I can post pictures and videos on the blog if I want.  It's only fair right?

Big news this morning as Ethan just spent his first night in his own crib!  A whole room away from the parents!  Yikes!  He did very well i'm told, as he went down around 11, and woke up at 3:30am and around 7am.  Mom got a fair amount of sleep and Dad didn't even know what went on last night.  The video monitor works wonders and we are so happy that Ethan loves his crib.  It was a little hard to put him in the crib because it just goes to show how big he is getting.  Reviewing the videos its surprising just how little he looks in them.  He's so much bigger now and he's outgrowing cloths after wearing them only once.  I think we've got a very healthy boy on our hands.

Christmas time is here, and Mom and Dad couldn't be happier.  Dad is enjoying every bit of the Christmas season, including the mountain of snow, and Mom is loving snuggling with Ethan by the tree.  Kona seems to be indifferent, but has really turned a corner in behaving as a dog.  She simply loves that we're around all the time and in one spot so she can camp out, get a few pets and enjoy the nice warm house.

Soon it will be time for a change in the household as Mom returns to work.  Even that isn't set yet with a possible interview, but we're hoping it goes as smoothly as possible.  Today Dad has to finish Christmas shopping, which I am a few days ahead of schedule in my book, but weeks behind Mom.. (it will never change) and we get to have dinner at Bubba and Pappa's house.  We're looking forward to Christmas and seeing family again, and having our first Christmas as a family.

Until then, here are some highlights from Ethan's growing up:


Ethan doing his smiles.  We have yet to catch him on video truely smiling, but this gets it pretty close.

GO Bears GO!!

Me and my cousin Gwen!

Our first family Christmas tree.  Can you see me?  I'm the blue hooded head sticking out of my mommy's jacket!  It was cold that day!

Nice job Mom and Dad!

Merry Christmas everybody!
