Finally! Ethan is napping and I finally have a chance to update our blog fofr the first time in months. With all that we've had going on with the fire and then scrambling to pull things together before Ethan's arrival, I haven't been very good about posting "belly" pics. Here's the last one, taken as we were leaving for the hospital to be induced.
Our first moments as a new family
Some of Ethan's first visitors!
Home at last!! We were sure glad when we were finally released from the hospital!
Because of his jaundice, Ethan had to spend the first few days at home on this "bili bed". We jokingly called it his alien tanning bed, but it really was no fun. We hated that he was so lethargic and could hardly stay awake to make it through a feeding. We sure are glad that he has got his jaundice in check now and we can cuddle him whenever we want!
Bath time--he has grown to like baths a whole lot more since this first one!
An awake picture--finally!! This is one of my favorites so far!
Gotta' love baby hands and feet. Ethan is famous for his loooong fingers...maybe he will play the organ like his Grandpa Bernard did!
Lots of naps, although not necessarily when we would like them to be!
First tummy-time! He's not sure how he feels about it yet!
Another nap time photo-op! Tristan calls this his "Moses pose"..."Let my people go!!" Not only is he practicing stretching out his legs, but his arms as well.
Ethan's umbilical stump, or "belly button ring" as I like to call it, finally fell off at about 2 1/2 weeks. Here he is, showing off his new belly button.
I love this picture...Tristan and Ethan we tuckered out after church! Ethan is learning all about Sunday naps already!
O.k., so this was taken upside-down, but Tristan and I were cracking up. Ethan is our little "frog boy"--he likes to have his knees tucked up to his chest because he was so jammed inside of me! Lately he has been "spreading his wings" a little more. As you can see, he was really enjoying all the space he had to take an evening nap before bed. We love our little man!
We are so blessed to have Ethan as a part of our family. Thank you for all of the thoughts, prayers and hugs that have gotten us to where we are. We are so thankful to have everyone's support!
