three months old


Yesterday was Ethan's birthmonthday, or monthbirthday, or however you want to say it. He is now 3 months old. Crazy. I can't believe that 3 months have gone by. It doesn't seem that long, especially when I remember all the things that I haven't done since he was born (do the dishes, clean the bathrooms, maintain general personal hygene, leave the house, etc.).

We love him so much. He is happy and interesting. He loves playing and singing with Daddy, cuddling and sleeping with Mama. I took a bunch of pictures of him yesterday, experimenting with the settings on my camera. I want a big nice camera that I can play around with and take super nice photos. I told Brett that we were going to start saving for a new camera and he said, "A new camera and 4 new guitars!" I told him that he doesn't get any new guitars because I never got a camera each time he bought a new guitar before. It's not a fair-trade/compromise kind of situation. It's a I-get-a-new-camera-and-you-don't-get-a-new-guitar kind of situation, mostly. Anyway, on to the pictures!

This is his tummy time face. He works really hard for tummy time.




This is what he usually looks like--kicking his legs and waving his arms. He's such a squirmy squirmer!


He also likes to fall asleep with his blanket over his head. This makes me nervous, but if I move it before he is asleep, he wakes up and pulls it up over his face again.

I've been thinking about getting one of those bimbo chairs, so we took Ethan to the BabiesRUs to try it out. He seemed to like it, but they cost $40, so I'm still not completely convinced that he has to have it in order to be a happy baby that is developing well.

Betsy do you want to borrow a pink bumbo. They really only use it for a few months and we aren't using ours right now. Let me know. :)

I love his tummy time face, oh the eyebrows!

I like the bimbo. I don't know if it's the best thing out there. It was given to me, but it works great for feeding Blythe her dinner and I think it will work for a while longer. I'm pretty sure the pink ones work the best. hehe.

Love the pics. I think Dawn has a blue bumbo that Mikey grew out of so I'm sure she'd let you borrow it if you wanted. If not, the way I look at these kinds of things is that if you plan to have more kids, dollar cost averaging it works out to spend the $. Plus, you can always resell it on ksl.com and get a lot of your investment back. Or buy it from ksl.com and save. I <3 ksl.com!
