Happy President's Day!

Here's Ethan and Brandon out enjoying the sunshine, though still chilly, on President's Day!  I call this their "Patriotic Photo Opp!" We put Ethan in his baby bjorn and Brandon carried him as we took a little walk.  This kid hasn't been able to get out a lot since it's been so cold! He mostly goes from the house to the car and back.  We can't wait for the warm weather to arrive so we can let him enjoy it on more walks together!

Daddy loves his snuggle bear! 

Don't you love his cheeks! They got all rosy in the cold, poor guy!  This was the last time he wore this polar bear outfit as he has grown out of it!  Sad.

 Ethan recently had his two month check up and shots (ouch!).  We knew he'd grown a lot since his two week visit, but we had no idea by how much!  At two weeks he weighed 7 pounds.  At two months he's at 13.5 pounds!  Nearly doubled his size!  We went from the 25 percentile for weight to the 95th!
He's been smiling a lot and I'm pretty sure I heard him laugh in his sleep the other night after I fed him.  He's just a happy baby and we love him so much!  I'm not looking forward to returning to work tomorrow! 

This is how big he was when we took him home from the hospital, so you can see just how much he's grown!

Camera Shy

So for a couple of weeks now Ethan has been giving Annie and I fleeting smiles on a regular basis. It is one of the funnest things to see as a parent. At times he has almost been laughing. The funny thing is that each time he is smiling and having fun we reach for the camera, and each time we reach for the camera he has stopped smiling immediately. So Annie and I decided he was just camera shy. Luckily he is coming around and we finally have a smile for you all to see.
