2 Months

Due to a certain wonderful sister-in-law (Erin)

who has inspired me with her creative spirit...

I am going to do monthly photos of Eithan.

I found these absolutely adorable "month stickers" on Etsy.

(Go to Etsy and search for Purple Possom, and you'll find the store.)

Here are some of those photos... I chose three because

they represent the little munchkin so well.

Simply Adorable Eithan

Classic Eithan

(Meaning... he does this face often.)

Too Cute For Words Eithan

And a quick update on the munchkin:

*He absolutely loves to snuggle, especially when he's sleeping.

(Thus we have gotten into a habit of

having him sleep on our chests a lot.)

*He has started to sleep 4 hours and more during the day,

but still wakes up every 3 at night.

*He is getting good at lifting his head and

putting it back down softly, but still loves to

head bang us when he's hungry.

*Loves the Christmas lights that we have left up for him on the wall, it is one of the first things he looks at when he's awake.

(I just don't have the heart to take them down.)

*Is finally growing out of Newborn clothes and into 0-3 Months.

(This means a whole new wardrobe for Mommy,

and she is a little TOO excited about that. wink wink.)

*Seems to enjoy being read to, and will occasionally look at the pages of the book as we read. I'd like to think he's looking at the pictures, but that might be wishful thinking.

*Prefers MAM pacifiers over the others... who knew that babies would have such a preference?

And I can't think of anything else fun.. We are just really enjoying having him around and enjoying our new little family.

Bath Time Bliss

Doesn't everyone just LOVE bath time?

The Soap, The Bubbles,The Baby Bath Tub, The NAKED baby...

Yes, I believe we all love bath time.

So I decided to include some lovely NUDE pictures of my little one during bath time.(wink wink)

I can't say that I know exactly what Eithan is thinking here...

but I can't imagine that he is very pleased with me at the moment.

This should be called the "I'm Free" Face...

He was glad to be out of the tub by this point.

Ok, I LOVE this picture, but I have to tell you guys...

Collin lucked out and snapped this one right at the end of a SNEEZE, and this is what he got!

Mommy and Eithan spending some quality time...

If I'd known how dark those circles under my eyes were...

I would have put makeup on!

In all of this "Bliss" I have to fess-up.

The other day I was bathing him, and as I was undressing him to get into the tub... he peed on me. A LOT. Enough that I thought that I should go and change my shirt afterwards.

(Guess what... I didn't! Ugh)

I think he also pooped in the tub while I was bathing him.

In all of this getting clean business...

why is it that we always end up dirty?

Winks Christmas

I know that this post is super late in coming, but better late than never... right?

Christmas was wonderful for our family. We were able to go home and see both of our families. And we were able to take Eithan too! We were a little worried about that in the beginning, because if anyone had been sick... then we wouldn't have been able to take him anywhere.

We spent Christmas Eve with my family-- and of course I have absolutely no pictures of that (It wouldn't have been too exciting, though- Eithan mostly slept and ate and slept again.) Then we spent Christmas morning with Collin's family-- and that, I have pictures of! So... here we go.

Collin and I Christmas morning. I have to admit, it wasn't until later that I thought, "I should have held eithan up to be in the picture." Oh well..

Eithan and his cousin Brody in their adorable Christmas outfits- this was the best shot of them all, but I should have included them all because Brody tries to hold Eithan's hand, and then Eithan tries to eat Brody's hand, and then Eithan decides that he's had enough and starts screaming--- it was classic.

Why I didn't hold Eithan up in the family photo above- he was sleeping on my lap totally zonked out, not even the noise of everyone opening their presents disturbed him.

My present is bigger than me! (Well---almost)

And then, of course, the I must eat during the middle of everything picture. Literally we were still in the middle of opening presents, oh well--- who can deny that adorable face??

We hope you all had a Merry Christmas!
