Easter, Shots and Puppy Baths

As usual, we had another great visit with Nana and PopPop and it was fun to have them here for Easter. Shawn and I got to go childless on a really fun date night with 4 other couples while Nana and PopPop babysat. Ethan attended his second (so sorry Caroline!) birthday party (Happy 1st Birthday Tyson!) and slept through most of it. Mom and I got a lot of great shopping done and Ethan survived his second marathon shopping trip without a hitch! I'm so blessed he's so easy going right now. Sunday afternoon came and Mom and Dad left for home and like always, I got that big lump in my throat as they drove away. 
Ethan's first Easter basket from Nana and PopPop. It was really cute! 
Checking it out... (he just woke up from a nap so he was still pants-less)
Reading his Easter cards with Nana. 
Yesterday we had our 4 month shots. We hate shot day, but we know it's for his own good. :( He did fine, but cried so hard when he got them he was asleep within 3 minutes and then slept most of the rest of the day away. He finally started waking up and acting more like himself by the end of the day and I finally got a few sweet smiles. 


We have an almost 1 year old Boston Terrier named Lou. Lou is crazy! I've never seen a dog who hates to be cold more than he does. During the summer he cries to go outside when it's 90+ and in the winter he runs and lays on the air vent as soon as he hears the heat turn on. When it's time for a bath he enjoys laying in the warm water so much you have to drain the water to get him to get out. After his last bath he decided he wasn't done and ran back to the bathroom and jumped in the tub, only to be disappointed that all the water was already gone. 

We spent a little bit of time this morning in our Exersaucer from Grandma and Grandpa. He's still a little to small for it and has to have blankets stuffed around him to keep him from cracking his head on it, but it won't be that way for much longer!

Happy Baby

Ethan is 4 months old this Saturday and I do NOT know where the time has gone! Every day is new and it's so much fun to watch him learn, but it's going by too fast already! We love him so much and can't imagine life without him now! 

He's really gotten the hang of sitting in his BeBe Pod now and I honestly think he'd stay in it all morning even when his head does start to slump over. :) We're getting ready for my parents (Nana and PopPop) to get here on Thursday. We're honestly surprised Nana's made it the 3 long weeks it's been since she last saw the little peanut. Before now they've seen him at least every 2 weeks since he was born. It's a shame no one loves this child! :)
