i know i posted a similar pix belong, but dad just named the favorite toy rabbit...His name is Harey. get it? sorry..i know its corney but i just had to post this so I wouldn't forget it!!! So, Harey is Ethan's favorite toy. We are wondering how old Ethan will be when he "gets" the joke. And of course the rabbit is 100% organic!!! :) So Ethan can chew away with no problems!
Im going to try to get Ethan out of the house and take some pix soon so that not all his pix are in my bedroom or the family room. Time to branch out a bit. We are planning to go on a trip to Stoneyfield Yogurt next week with some area AP moms, so hopefully some of them will take some pix of him for me. I would esp. like to show off the Mai Tai he gets carried in all the time. DH is just not a camera person when it comes to taking all these pix!! I guess I do take a lot but hey, this is my LAST baby!  

brothers can be so cruel!!!! i guess there isn't much else a 15 year old really wants to do to his 3 month old brother, though. oh well... I hope Ethan forgives him for this!  

he does look blissed out on mamas milk doesnt he? E nurses all day and night and really enjoys his food! And it shows..its over 15 lbs. now at 3 months! and its all GOOD milk, not the artificial milk made by industry. He has been very healthy due to breastfeeding and is growing by leaps and bounds! :) Im so proud of him! He is getting so big and so strong! I can't say enough good things about breastfeeding!!  

oldest son Max with the baby, Ethan! how cute huh???  

Mikey turned 8 April 2, 2006!!! OMG! I have one son 15 nearly 16 and now one 8!!! He is such a Red Sox fan and of course he did get things that were baseball oriented (some Red Sox bendy people, a Red Sox tshirt, Red Sox paraphanalia, and a baseball organizer) but my proudest moment was when I gave him money to go to Toys R Us and get whatever he wanted. He picked up some wooden food for his kitchen set, a stroller for his 20 inch boy doll, and some Little Tykes kitchen dishes, including a blender, etc. (I know, its plastic, but they are well made). I was proud of him spending his money on things that I would have bought him and things that encourage him to be creative and imaginative. Some people think that after a young age, young boys only want cars and stuff but thats just not true. Mikey did a great job allocating his funds for the purchases he made...and spent a lot of time in contemplation. He never considered cars or electrical stuff in his equation. He did get a pack of baseball pendants to hang on his wall but he's a baseball fanatic! I will have to post a pix of his room later! Im so proud of my little guy.  

i LOVE this pix! he looks so inquisitive!!!  

tummy time!!!  

isnt that an adorable laugh??? its so rare to get one from him once he sees the camera!!!  

Little frog man with a bunny! Isn't he just adorable???  

2 of my little boys...got this idea for a pix from another MDC (mothering.com) mama. Great idea to take an arial shot and it came out great! Ethan is playing with his organic cotton Minoma baby from Under The Nile! yummy! Mikey's teeth are finally coming in! So he won't be toothless anymore.  

Sleeping babies always look like such cute angels, don't they? This beautiful, peaceful face appeared shortly after nursing on mama's milk. :)
what more thanks can a babe provide his mother? 

One of the rare pix of Ethan and I (no i don't look great! haven't in months!). When will I get rid of this baby weight??? He looks a little zoned but he was really happy that day...don't know why he looks so bored here...he really does NOT like the camera!!  

Another pix of April and Ethan...how beautiful huh? Do you think they look alike at all? Im not sure yet. To be continued.... 

i know i am supposed to be keeping track of this blog and posting but i just seem to forget! here is a pix of April, Ethan's sister, holding him while he sleeps! He slept the entire time she was here! What is up with that? He doesn't do that when we are alone and I am trying to get things done! :)

He is a wonderful baby, though...so cute and cuddly and he really is so alert! Yeh for having babies with no drugs, huh? :)

He is now 13 lbs. 8 oz. (well, he was last Wed. at his ped. appt.). He's growing!!! 

Emie loves Ethan!!! She can't get enough of him!!  

here's the dresser!!! 

and this is our finished product! we were going to do a mural on the door, but it just didn't work out. we also put pooh toys on a dresser for Ethan...i love it and will post a pix of that too! :)  

just catching up....Mikey and I painted the nursery all by ourselves! this is the Before Pix!  

this is the
"old man" face...he's just saying, "i know you want me to do x but i am really not in the mood".  

it took sooo long for me to get an action shot! every time i tried to get a pix of him holding and pulling the toy, he would stop!!! he just knows how much i want these pix! 

what a cute little smiley baby, huh? he hates the camera, so its rare that i get a pix of him smiling!!! every time he sees the camera, he gives me the "old man face" (ill try to post one of those later).
 

I am really trying to get the hang of this but I dont know if I just don't like this blog. Others have all these bells and whistles....and friends!!! hmmm... perhaps i should find another space b/c i just dont seem to be able to figure this out and this isnt important enough for me to work on for a long time. If anyone has any suggestions on how I can jazz this up, I am more than willing to listen!!! Fast and quick is what I am looking for!!! :)

i am trying to get the hang of this blog thing.

Mikey and Ethan! 2 of my great little boys!! 

i dont know why i didnt think of this before, but Ethan does need tummy time and his boppy heps him out with this! Look how happy he looks!!! this is at 10 weeks old! 

finally able to take a pix of Ethan in the New Native Sling!!! check out the cool AP tshirt!!! thanks to a MDC mama!  

I finally got my son to try the New Native pouch! isnt this cool! At 10 weeks, i think i may try to start actually posting pix to this blog and creating something that can actually be referred to as a blog. For those of you who may want to read these ramblings, please be patient! I am just now learning how to do this!!
