10 weeks old

I am about 3 weeks behind on new pictures but here are a few. I am having so much fun taking pictures of the little guy but I am afraid I am going to have to get a seperate room for all the photos!

He is getting to be a big boy and is sooooooo much fun! We can't wait to introduce him to everyone!

Patrick's First Father's Day

Happy Belated Father's Day to all the Dads! Ethan suprised Patrick with a special father's day request to take him to a baseball game. He even made a card and bought his Daddy tickets and a hat for his favorite team, the Detroit Tigers of course! We will all be going to see the Tigers play the Yankees in August. It was very cute because ever since we found out we were having a son Patrick has been talking about taking him to baseball games and coaching his baseball team.

No other big news to report other than the house is being painted as I type. I can't wait for it to be done!

Actually there is big news...

CONGRATULATIONS Jenny, Tim, and Kaylee on the adoption! It is now official. Kaylee is a Laird by law. We could not be happier for them to never have a home visit again!

Happy Birthday Boys!

Happy 29th Birthday Patrick and 2 month birthday Ethan! (Ok- so it was yesterday but I am so proud of my boys and was too busy yesterday)

Ethan is 12 lbs 1 oz and 23 1/4 inches long. He is such a good boy and getting to be a big boy!

Grandma and Grandpa Hurford are coming to visit this week and we couldn't be more excited. Can't talk long today but more updates later...

Our little Buckeye

Due to popular demand I have posted our little Buckeye for all to enjoy! Note to Grandpa Hurford: THIS IS NOT A WOLVERINE! Please do not confuse the two, it may traumatize the child to be insulted in such a way.

8 weeks old- tomorrow

I can not believe it has been 8 weeks since this little bundle of heaven came into the world! Sometimes it seems like yesterday, other days it seems like we have had him forever. He goes to the doctor Monday for his two month checkup and shots- ouch! He is so big I can't wait until we find out his new stats- height, weight, etc. He is such a happy boy. Smiling and laughing all the time, even in his sleep. It is truly amazing how no matter what is happening in your day that one big smile can just make you stop dead in your tracks and put everything in the world into perspective.

I am already dreading going back to work. Yesterday as Ethan was nodding off on my chest I started thinking about taking him to daycare and dropping him off that first day. I couldn't even do it in my visualization! I started crying and then laughing at how much of a mush I have become. God be with me on Monday when he gets his shots. Mom will probably have more tears than Ethan. I think if he could talk he would tell me to suck it up- he's a strong little man.

Speaking of... the King just woke up and wants to eat- NOW.

You be the judge...

Patrick
Ethan

Ok now, for those of you who think Ethan looks like me tell me what you think of this! I literally found this picture and for a second wondered how Ethan's picture had gotten where I had found it. It is amazing how much these two look alike from the baby photos. Patrick is so excited that his son looks like him- except for the blue eyes!
