Announcing....

Well if you have 'watched this space' I really commend you as I have been so lazy with it and have not posted in so long! Well as the title says I have an announcement.

I am Pregnant

A picture from our 12 week ultrasound!

So Scott and I are very excited to have a new additon arriving early June 2009. I am so happy to be able to give Ethan a brother/sister and a friend for life! We only tried for one cycle so it was very exciting and surprising news for us! I am currently 12 weeks and 5 days pregnant so already in my 2nd trimester!

Weaning

Well I am going to start weaning Ethan from breastfeeding and onto formula. It makes me so sad to do it, I almost feel like less of a mum (a good one anyways) for doing it. Ethan just isn't as interested during the day because the world is too exciting, there is so much for his little eyes to take in.



I have finally caved and bought his first tin of formula, and I am a little disappointed because he won't need me as much and I hate that. I love the fact that my beautiful little boy depends on me but its time to cut the cord and start to wean, very slowly. I am only going to start him off on one bottle for the first few weeks and slowly phase it out. I will keep his morning and night feed until he is 1 and then go from there.



Hopefully he is good with weaning and it isn't too hard (although I think it will be harder for me to give up than for him)

Ethan, Cheeky as usual....

Well yesterday I gave Ethan a sippy cup of milk thinking he would actually drink it. I went to go and answer the phone came back into the living room and I saw it.....he had dumped all of his milk on the floor and was proceeding to splash in while laughing. Apparently it is quite funny to make a big mess and then look cute and innocent afterwards. So of course I had to grab the camera and in true Auntie Sharron fashion take lots of pictures...you cannot miss a photo opportunity :)

Speaking of photos I am incredible I take about 10 or more everyday I think my hard drive will be full by the time Ethan is 2 years old...lol :) I am hoping to get a better camera for Christmas...someone tell Scott ha ha ha. The way I see it you can never have too many pictures and I love taking pictures of my little man!

Here is another picture of my boy trying to get the camera.....if its within his reach he thinks it his :)

Beautiful Pics!

Well I got some professional pictures done by Shanna of Jolie Jones Photography and she did such a wonderful job. I was self-conscious, as usual but she was very patient and took some great shots. These are her favorite of the bunch I will put some more up once I have them ordered. The shots were taken on Friday July 11th. If you read this Shanna, thank you for doing such a great job!!

This picture is my favorite. Since Scott is never home it was so great have some pictures of Ethan with his Daddy!!

Ethan being his usual cute self. He was playing with his Winnie the Pooh from Great-Grandma and Grandpa Neilson and wearing his Tigger Polo from Grandma Neilson. I think this is sucj a cute picture!

A family portrait. It was so great to get them done because we have not had a family picture since Ethan was 4 weeks old and I love the memories photos provide I love watching us grow as a family!

Two Teeth and a Big Smile!

Well Ethan has two teeth and they are out for the world to see! This is just a quick post but here is a pic of his two little teeth...and is double chin...haha!

Ethans New Bike!!

Well I got Ethan his first bike...well Smart Trike to be precise. I picked it up from Target last week! It changes from a bike I can push from behind into a normal tricycle as he grows older! He really really loves that trike, he laughs constantly. He is also so used to Scott being away on his bike phone he says "da-da' over and over again, not only does he get pushed around in style but he can talk to "da-da" while he does it! :) Just goes to show his imagination is begining to take shape already!!

Ethan all smiles while taking his new trike for a test run! Scott says he is looking forward to taking him to the park in his new trike :)

We have a tooth!!!

Ok so the picture doesn't show the tooth but it shows the happiness behind it...lol :)

Well Ethans First tooth cut through on June 22nd, 2008...an important day in history..ok not so much but I have been waiting for what feels like forever for this to happen. I have blamed countless restless nights on his potential teeth, looking for an excuse for his behavior but to no avail. No we finally he got his first tooth and he was not even that bad...go figure. He was in pain two days before it cut through but was a pretty good boy for the rest of it!

This time when I told everyone I thought Ethan was teething I am sure they shrugged it off as "the Mum who cried tooth" (Boy who cried wolf)....but he got one, he really got one this time!!! I will take a picture when the tooth is fully exposed and I can get my little man to take a big grin picture like the one above again!!

His second tooth is nearly cut through now as well.....If I had to guess I would say tomorrow will be the day! So its all happening now! I waited 8 and a bit months for one and now they all come...ha ha!
