One Month

Ethan is one month old today! We love him so much and are so happy he is a part of our family!

His one month stats:
Weight: 8 pounds 12 ounces - 20th percentile
Height: 20.5 inches - 15th percentile
Head circumference: 36.5 centimeters - 40th percentile

Not too shabby, considering his due date was actually 2 days ago.

At one month, Ethan:
- loves to snuggle with mom or dad
- loves bath time
- is a great eater
- likes to stretch after a nap
- usually sleeps in 3-4 hour stretches at night, but occasionally spends the majority of the night awake
- rarely cries and when he does it's just one or two cries
- grunts...ALOT (sometimes he sounds like a horse)
- loves the binki but gives a sour face for the first couple seconds when you stick it in.
- falls right to sleep when he's in his car seat, on a walk, or in the car.
- loves to sleep with his arms stretched out
- melts his mom and dad's heart every time he looks straight into our eyes.



We love you Ethan!!

Photoshoot

My good friend Stephanie Webb did an amazing job taking pictures of Ethan. He is such a cute baby and she is awesome with a camera, so as a result we got tons of pictures that Chris and I both love! Thank you Steph!!
*Ethan is two weeks and 2 days in these pictures*

Life with a Newborn

Ethan and I love spending time together. I am so blessed to have a husband who works hard so I can stay home with Ethan.
Ethan loves to eat lunch with dad


And hang out with mom



He loves walks - they put him right to sleep

And he's got the cutest smile.

Remembering Collin

Chris and I saw this video on lds.org tonight and were really touched by Elder Nelson's message. Sometimes the pain from losing Collin seems so fresh. We are so grateful to have Ethan here with us, but we will always remember and miss Collin. We are so grateful for the strength the gospel of Jesus Christ has brought us in difficult times.
