A close up of hat, with a smile this time! Now Im going to work on a pattern! The little bees on the honey comb are just too adorable (and Im a huge Pooh fan too). 

we went to a yarn store in portsmouth NH the other day and found this hat! i want to knit Ethan's sweater and hat this year, and this hat is just so cute. I also bought some organic cotton yarn to make a sweater and hat with (nice soft baby blue) but isn't this hat so cute? I will knit this..i just have to figure out the pattern. Anyone with any suggestions, let me know! :) 

Ethan finally has a teething necklace! No, we don't have any teeth yet (thank goodness, because we just got the teething necklace). Isn't it so cute??? He doesnt play with it, which is really strange to me, because he wants to put everything in his mouth but this necklace is just "there" in his mind (I guess). He doesn't even look at it, which is great, because it means he probably won't have any problems wearing it. :)

another highchair pix! these blue eyes just melt my heart!  

This is Ethan's first time in a highchair in a public restaurant. I rarely put him down when we are out but he seemed big enough to sit in the chair. I regret not having a high chair cover but used my Ergo (baby carrier) behin him. He was eating a piece of a roll which i am not happy about either, but he usually doesn't eat any solid food at lunch so I didn't have anything with me. Note to self: keep some organic snacks in the diaper bag from now on. Jim thinks he looks like he has gotten caught doing something in this picture. I just think he looks really cute. He's getting so big!  

some Lillys in our flower garden. I haven't taken care of it this year like i have done in the past, which makes me sad. Flowers like these make me so happy. They smell so wonderful. Its such an uplift in your day to smell fresh cut lillies from your own garden.  

i swear this isnt staged! :) sometimes they just fall asleep together (in the bed) and i get up. when i come back, they are close together. usually they don't start that way, but end up like that. its just so beautiful when i see my boys sleeping together. boys hardly ever stop, so its rare to catch a moment of "calm" with boys. Mikey loves his little brother so much and Ethan adores Mikey.  

Mikey trying to make a rapper out of Ethan! 

cant you just SEE the attitude??? oh, to be a teenager again! 

my 3 boys! the rapper, baseball fanatic and sweet baby! :) im amazed when i see them all together. they are all so different but i love them each equally! i find that amazing, since when my first was born i never thought i could love another child so much (until my 2nd was born). And, as this pix proves, boys will be boys!! :)  

We were playing a game of Peek-A-Boo! The smiles are just contagious!!!! I am so glad I found something that cna help me finally capture his smile on camera!  

I am so in love with my baby!  

Here is a pair of wool soakers I knitted while pregnant with Ethan. I thought they were huge but recently put them on him and they fit. :) The blue looks so good on him. They match his blue eyes. 

Can you believe this face? Its one of the million that I can rarely capture with the camera. I think I am going to try and take a photography class. This baby has thousands of pictures of him (I can prove that with my computer!) but I have such a hard time capturing these moments. I think its because of the delay with the digital camera, so my new goal is to get a camera that doesn't delay. Perhaps then my pictures will get much better. See what I mean by him scooting over into my bed??? :) 

A better pix of the best buddies!  

This is another one of my OMG cute pix! I had forgotten about these pj's! (under the nile organic cotton...how cool is that?). The cutest, though, is that his little bear has a matching outfit!
Cute baby! 

Ethan in the Doodlebug baby carrier!  

Mikey and Ethan again. Mikey loves his little brother so much! 

What can I say about this picture? I left McClaine with Ethan one morning while I went to pick Mikey up from his dads. I didn't have the heart to wake Ethan up for the trip (it was only 15 minutes away). When I came home, this is what I came home to (this is my bed...Ethan never moved, but apparently McClaine fell asleep while watching Mikey). Its too cute for me!
