Making "Raspberries"

Ethan has discovered how to make the "raspberry" noise blowing bubbles out of his mouth. It is the funniest thing! He is also rolling over now from his tummy to his back and can just about get over from his back, but not quite yet. We are going to have to drop his mattress down though because last night I found him scooted around with his legs up on the rail- not good! Otherwise he continues to love his exersaucer and is getting bigger by the day. He is now in the 90th percentile for height and the 50th for weight although I am told that really means nothing at this point as long as he continues to grow. He is still the happiest baby I have ever seen which of course makes Mommy and Daddy happy!

Who does he look like?

Everyone keeps saying Ethan looks just like me. I think he is a good combination of Patrick and I. I did find my baby picture from 4 months so here it is. Let me know what you think...

Funny Boy

Ethan is sooooooo funny these days. He is such a happy boy again (now that we have discovered he has a milk allergy and have remedied the problem). He is so much fun and just cracks me up all day long. It is so funny how he commands your attention either by demand (the little whine that reminds you he needs attention) or by guilt (the way he flashes his million dollar grin just as he catches your eyes staring down into his gorgeous blues). He has the greatest belly laugh I have ever heard!

I can't wait for everyone to meet him when we come home in August. I am counting down the days. Until then, here is my favorite photo lately- I have a new favorite but do not have it uploaded yet. Maybe later this week...

Ethan's Baptism

Sunday was Ethan's Baptism. It was a beautiful and moving ceremony that we were fortunate enough to share with all of the Grandparents, Ethan's Aunt and Uncle, some of our best friends, a Great-Aunt and Uncle, and some cousins. We had a wonderful day with great food and great company.

Ethan slept through nearly the entire Baptism and only briefly woke up when the water was poured over his head. I think he thought he was getting a bath. We are very happy to have had Ethan welcomed into the "Celestial Family" of our church as the priest put it. Ethan is truly our little angel! I am sure that term will change as he gets older but for now...

Happy July 4th!

We hope everyone is having a fabulous 4th of July with family and friends. We are very excited to be having visitors this weekend for Ethan's Baptism on Sunday. All of the Grandparents are flying in and Jenny, Tim and Kaylee will be here as well. I couldn't be happier to have a full house! We are having a little get together Sunday after the Baptism which everyone is welcome to, so if you are in the area... :)

I will post pics after the weekend. I can not wait to share this wonderful event with everyone!
