Well, January and February were kind of a blur for me. I found out in early January that I was pregnant and from pretty much day one was super sick. So entertainment came cheap around here! We were still busy, so hang in there as there are a lot of pictures in this post!
We spent a lot of mornings taking it easy, as opposed to the typical early wake-up and errand running before lunch...
Enjoying his banana like a big boy!
Ethan entertained himself the best he could while I kept it low key around the apartment...here he was helping me cook in the kitchen. See how neatly he lined the pans up for me???
The days that Tristan was home were always a lot easier for me and more fun for Ethan, I'm sure! One day Tristan made up some homemade play-doh and let Ethan have at it. He actually had a great time playing with it...
but didn't really care for the way it tasted!
Around this time he started making this cheesy grin...What a goofball!
On days when Tristan wasn't around, we were very low key! We found quiet, entertaining things to do...
We didn't always get dressed first thing in the morning...
We watched a few extra DVDs
Basically, we just survived!
This describes how Ethan and I both felt when Tristan arrived home from work!! He loves his daddy!!!
He went through this phase where he wanted to hang everything around his neck...toddlers are so random. This day we were coloring on some of the packaging that came in a box that was shipped to us.
A lot of days when Tristan was home he would take Ethan out to play at the playground at our apartments when I wasn't up to doing much. Even though it was a little chilly, they still had a blast!
Out riding his truck with dad
Getting ready to take on the slide!
Taking a peek...it's kind of far down!!!
We still made it out for occasional playdates with friends here and there. This day we went to a bounce house that's about 5 minutes from my house. Ethan has never LOVED bounce houses, but he will usually attempt some things and run around and play...well, this day was a huge exception. Pretty much the instant we got there he would not let me put him down, and if I did he cried and chased after me. All he wanted to do was sit and watch everyone play...I found out a few weeks later he had bronchitis and an ear infection, so I'm thinking that might have been part of the problem! Poor Ethan being forced to play with friends..... ;)
I don't know what he had for breakfast this day, but he obviously loved it!!!
I'm so glad that Ethan is so easy going and easy to entertain...I don't know what I would have done during those really sick days if he wasn't. And more importantly, I'm so grateful for a husband who loves spending time with his son so I could have rest when I needed it! I'm sure things are going to be MUCH busier come the end of September!!!
