Mikey's graduation from 2nd grade (his school goes from K-2). He is getting so big too! Everyone is growing up so fast!  

My oldest son and his girlfriend. This kid (my son) is 6 ft. 2!!! Taller than me even! Paige is pretty, isn't she? This is the day after graduation and the day before McClaine went to Florida for vacation. I just can't believe he is getting so old so quickly! 

This is an "oh my g-d" cut smile, don't you think??? I just fall in love all over again when I see this picture!  

Attack of the boppys!!!  

This is one of my favorite pictures! Ethan is so alert, so strong. He is going to be all over the place soon and he is only 5 months old. I think it has a lot to do with natural childbirth. That and he was not circumcised, so has never felt any pain. Also, he hasn't had any vaccinations so his body has not had to deal with all the chemicals (mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, etc.) that are in vaccines. He is a very healthy, happy baby! And so alert! He won't wait for anything, and that is a GOOD thing.  

The serious look on his face! He loves grabbing my glasses, hair, anything that is within reach. He's such an alert and curious little guy!  

Laughing with mommy! I just think he's so adorable!  

Isn't this awesome! This is a feature in Picasa!! I highly recommend this program for its ease of use (especially with my blog).  

He has his lion, frug and red rings on this day! See the HUGE rain drops on the window. After he had been so great in the food store and a few other stores, we decided to let dad "weather" the rain on this last journey. And babe kept all dry!  

one rainy day (we are having alot of them lately),we were stuck in the car waiting for dad...i am starting to get a few smiles even with the camera in my hand. He loves playing with his toys in his carseat. I devised a mechanism wherein I hung a bungie cord in between the drycleaner racks of each end of the car and I clip his toys on there. he can choose which ones he plays with and they get changed out often. he has loads of fun this way. I prefer this mechanism to the "bucket" infant seats..and this is the best car seat on the market! I just love it...tested for side impact crashes, which U.S. carseats are not tested for. Just trying to keep the Bundle of Joy safe! :)
 

Here's Ethan in one of my Mai Tai's taking a ride on my back! I'm so glad he's a littel bigger now adn can be carried on my back! Check out the blue eyes!!! How cute, huh?  

he is so curious! 

 

another pix of the Onbu!  

This is an onbu we have...Ethan rides on my back so I can get things done..its the only way i can get anything done around the house! he falls asleep like this and is very content!  

I think this is one of the diapers Judybean made!!! :)  

This is our Hotsling pouch! I have just been grabbing this since it got so hot because its so easy to put on! Ethan loves it! and it has great popability...he pops in and out easily!!!  

what a cute face!!!! very rarely do i get a pix of him smiling!!!! he smiles all the time, but not when i have a camera in my hand!  

what a gorgeous face, huh? (no, im not talking about mine!). 

We had our 4 month baby visit with the doc yesterday! he is such a great doctor...doesnt believe we should pump our baby with a bunch of vaccinations at this age and is really great about other attachment parenting issues, including cloth diapers, co-sleeping (we sleep with our baby so he can nurse easily and doesnt ever have to cry to get our attention). I love his doctor!! Ethan was a bit quiet in the doctor's office, though, which is very unusual for him. He is usually very vocal. Everything went great!
