Santa Baby

Check out this pose. Here is a picture of Ethan in his Christmas pajamas on Christmas day. There's more to post, but I'll spread them out.

Ethan holding Jack for the 1st time

This was a few weeks ago, but am finally uploading some pictures onto the computer. Ethan had to be so patient. When Jack was born, Ethan had a cold so we wanted to be careful. When the moment finally arrived, Ethan was SO EXCITED. Just look at these pictures. I have video, but unfortunately our camcorder is being repaired AGAIN. Video to follow hopefully in a few weeks. These first few shots of Ethan right when he got Jack. I love the progression of his smile.

A shot of Jack looking at the camera

Ethan giving a gentle huga sweet kiss
He also likes to point out Jack's nose, hair, mouth and eyes. This is Ethan's "Uh Oh" face. It means, "Um, the baby is crying and I have no idea what to do. Would somebody help me?"

He now talks about "the baby" all the time. This last weekend we were at my parent's house and Becky and Jack walked in the door. Instead of running towards Becky and Jack, he ran to the couch, jumped up, and said "I do it." Translation: I want to hold Jack. Please hand him over. These guys are going to have so much fun together.

I wanna be like Dada

Ethan loves his dada. That is for sure. The second he hears the garage door opening, he drops what he's doing and runs to the garage door yelling "dada." Each night after dinner, they play hide and go seek,chase each other, have races (while Ethan says, on your mark..go), pretend their tigers and tickle each other, and of course Ethan gets the airpline ride on dada's legs. It is so fun to watch the two of them and I cannot help but join in with laughter. Ethan can even tell you, with excitement, where his dada works when asked. If we go to pick him up from work for lunch or something, Ethan gets so excited. "Oh boy, Oh boy, Oh boy, can be heard from the back seat as we drive up to meet dada. Whether or not Ethan is wearing Eric's hat, shoes or watch he's dada's boy. I love my boys!!

For Christmas we got Ethan his own watch since he loved his dada's so much.

My Grandpa and Ethan

Here are a couple of my favorite pictures from our family shower (I thought it was for Becky, but surprise it was for me too). Ethan loves his great grandpa and grandma. Thank you family for a wonderful time together!!!

Welcome Baby Bunch

Our little Jack was born today at 1:34 weighing 10lbs 5 oz. Precious little Becky=). He is also 20 1/2 inches long. Mom, Dad and Baby are doing well. Here is a little video from when Ethan first saw the little guy. Don't worry there will be more video and pictures to post. Until then, look at Eric's post (there's a link on my blog) for some pictures. Enjoy!!

Cookie Time

A couple months ago I was making some cookies and decided to let Ethan help me. Under very close supervision, I let him pour the dry ingredients into the bowl (knowing full well everything could go flying in a matter of seconds). These were taken in October. It amazes me how much he's grown up even since then. I will post some Christmas shots soon.

Our Bible Lovin' Boy

Here are some pictures of Ethan and his "Bibee" as he calls it. I tried to get him into his Bible by talking about Jesus and using different voices. Did any of that work? Not so much. He needed his Uncle Jim to get him going. One night Jim was over and if I remember correctly, he brought the Bible over to Jim. They read and they read and they read for about 15 minutes. Ever since then, Ethan has asked for his "Bibee" and likes it read to him. As you can see sometimes he'll sit up on the couch and read it himself.

How cute is this!

Such a sweet moment!
