One last one from me for the night. Its making mommy's fingers hurt to type all the stuff I want her to say! I'm also getting a bit tired and need to go drink more milkies now (to see how that dinner tasted). I'm sure my mommy will post more pix of me again soon! Hope everyone in New England has recovered from all the flooding! We had a few issues, but nothing major. Good night!  

A big yawn from me! The fresh air tonight was really nice and made me tired. Mommy and me went to uncle Paul and aunt Tammy's house and had a BBQ..I'll have to let you know later how the chicken tastes (it takes a few hours to get through the mama's milk). I heard the pasta, corn and salad were yummy too! Oh boy, I can't wait! 

This is one of my mommy's Hot Slings...we really like using this because its so easy to fold up in our diaper bag...and its really pretty. I'm not really in it here...I just have it drapped over me because I fell asleep in it and then uncle Paul was holding me. I like uncle Paul! 

This is another one of my favorite toys! Would you believe my oldest brother had this toy when he was a baby! That was 15 years ago! Wow! What an old toy, huh? But it is such a cool toy! I really love putting it in my mouth! And yes, this is my bumbo seat too...but don't worry...my mommy took all these pictures within a few minutes of each other. I never go very long without being carried or being held by my mommy...you shoudl see all the cool slings, pouches, and wraps my mommy has to carry me in. They are just so hard for her to take pix of me while she is carrying me. We will have to talk to Daddy about that more later. I'm going to a bunch of baseball games this weekend so maybe we will be able to take more pix then. I can't wait to go see Mikey's baseball games! We are going to have a blast!  

This is my friend Emily and this is one of my favorite toys to play with! I really love putting it in my mouth...it tastes so yummy! Emily is a really good friend. I just wish she would stop touching my head! Just kidding Emily! Emily would love to give me a bottle but I think me and mommy have made her understand that I only drink mama's milk (and it is really yummy and has all kinds of great nutritional stuff in it!). I am already 17 lbs. and have only had mama's milk ever!!!
 

Ok, so I started counting today! My daddy is a math whiz, so I am getting the hang of this really quick!!! I have 3 stripes on my shoes! How cool is that? :) 

This is my Bumbo seat! My mommy finally found one for me!!! I am so excited about it! I can sit up straight in it...go out to eat in it...do all kinds of cool things in it! And the best thing is I am at eye level with everyone else, so I'm not left out of stuff like I would be if I were in an infant carrier! I am so glad my mommy found it! I will share more pix with you later!  

Isn't this the weirdest effect? You can almost see a smirk on his face. he really wants to smile, but that silver thing is in front of him and he knows there may be a flash soon, so he dare not act as if he enjoys all this attention! I really believe he will have the intelligence of his father. With both of us as parents, how can he go wrong in the intelligence department! lol! JK!! We do have BIG hopes for him though..the next Einstein!  

I love this pix effect. You will hardly ever find a pix of me without my glasses off. Ethan's dad says thats what he prefers, but I have been wearing glasses forever and am not comfortable with contacts.
Again, we have here the "old man serious" face (referred to in the future as the OMS face!). Gotta love acronyms!
I am the luckiest person in the world to be able to be with my baby and watch him grow each day. How did I get so lucky???  

We hardly ever get our pix taken together. With dad at work most of the time and the older kids at school, its mainly me taking pix of Ethan while we go about our day. I believe Mikey took this pix...Ethan has his "old man serious" face on. Even though I love his smiles and laughs, this face pulls at my mama-strings too.
Of course, he still hasn't gotten to like the camera, which is why we have more "old man serious" faces than laughs and giggles. He does laugh and giggle alot, especially with dad when he comes home from work. Sometimes he will work himself up into a laughing fit and go on and on so hard that his body shakes (I was referring to Ethan, but dad does that too). :)
 

He really does love his feet!!! Using cloth diapers is the best ever...aren't those some cute little diapers??? AND we are saving the environment! You would not believe how inexpensive cloth diapers are and how much money we save! We love them!  

I just cant resist posting a pix of my sleeping baby! Babies are so angelic when they are asleep. Of course, this one is all the time but he is especially beautiful when he sleeps.  

is that not the cutest face ever? Im going to have to get him more baby blue clothes. The blue really does bring out his big blue eyes.  

what a cute pumpkin. he really is becoming so strong...holding his head up very well and he is very observant of everything. See Dad's dimpled chin??? I just can't get over that and love to look at it.  

i have not been able to post in the last week or so and its been killing me!!! Following are some pix from mid to the end of April. Aren't brothers so cute??? This one has Ethan very curious about Mikey's nose! how cute is that??? Ethan is looking more and more like his father each day with the dimpled chin.  

Ethan's first pix in his carseat (yeh, we dont' take too many pix when we go out! lol!)
 

Our Maya Wrap, which we are probably going to sell because i just can't get the hang of a ring sling!! But I LOVE wearing my baby! 

Aren't they gorgeous??? Mikey still has a hard time getting to sleep, so on weekends and non-school weekends, he will usually fall asleep in our bed. Lately the baby has been going to sleep around the same time (or EARLIER). yeh us! I just couldn't help but take pix of this last night. Please excuse the laundry basket in the background...hey, at least its clean! And aren't there more important things than folding laundry (like taking pix of my babies).  

another pix for the folds!! 

i cropped this photo to protect my intact little boy from pervs, but wanted to show everyone the folds on this kids legs!!! can you believe this? and they claim that mamas milk isn't fattening enough??? yeh, right! he's huge! in 6-9 month clothes now and he's only 3 months old! And as far as being intact, that simply means we have not circumcized him (i.e., we do not participate in male genital mutalation). If you want to learn more about WHY we chose not to do this, you can learn more here. http://www.mothering.com/articles/new_baby/circumcision/against-circumcision.html 

This guy thinks he's a rapper! He SOOO tries to come across so tough! But he's holding a passover/easter basket (yes, i find ways to justify this in my head...stay off my back!). The ONLY thing he was interested in was whether there was cash in that there basket!
At least the younger son is still interested in cheap toys and candy! :)
 

My Three Sons! I finally got them all together in one place! Not an easy task! Especially with a teenager who prefers to be on the go all the time! From left to right, Mikey (8), Ethan (3 months) and McClaine (aka "Max") 15! They are cute, but dangerous! :)
 

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!!
