Ethan is getting so big. We took him to the doctor a week ago and he weighed 12 pounds. He is almost 7 weeks old and he is starting to interact a little bit more. He has been smiling since the day he was born, but now he will smile with purpose at times. He coos all the time. We were at church yesterday and he talked through the whole service. It sounds so very cute. His favorite thing to talk to and smile at is his mobile in his crib. It's got two bears dressed up like cowboys, a horse, and a cow. His favorite is the horse and he will track it as it spins around. He will smile in anticipation of the mobile being turned on and he will lay there watching it go round and round while he talks away. It is adorable. He is adorable.
Shane fed Ethan his first bottle last night. We are going to try to get him used to it in anticipation of my return to work. He did pretty well with it and I think Shane enjoyed it. My six weeks of maternity leave ended last Friday. I am taking six additional weeks of baby bonding time, so it looks like March 9th will be my last day off. I am so thankful to be able to take this time off and to stay home. I am not sure how I feel about going back. Part of me is dreading it and part of me thinks it might be nice to get out and have a break. I just keep thinking about all the things I have to do to get ready for work and to get Ethan ready when I have to go and the long days. And I am stressed out because I have a million different passwords and I am not sure I remember them. For some reason, that is what is stressing me out the most right now. Remembering my passwords.
Got to go. Baby crying.

I’m glad that your able to take more time off. Sounds like you are doing well, and keep up the good work mom. And don’t worry about those silly passwords, it’ll come back.

It is just so lovely when you can begin to notice unique things about your child- what they like or don’t like. It is wonderful getting to know them and then watching them transform into the person that God created them to be. I still get a kick out of discovering traits in Grant and Dean…I’m sure I will until the day I die. Again, I can’t wait to meet Ethan. So sweet.
