Yummy Cake

Mmm, yummy cake!

almost one

I can't believe it's already time to plan Ethan's first birthday party. I still haven't even lost the baby weight! He has grown so fast.

Here's a fast-forward look at how he's grown.

my newborn:
two months:
three months:

four months:

five months:six months:seven months: eight months:

Nine months:

ten months:
eleven months: (crawling!)

Wow, how time flies! We love our little man! He already has five teeth. Some of his new "tricks" are: crawling, saying, "mama" (only when he's sad), saying "dada", pulling himself to standing next to anything semi-sturdy, shaking his head "no" and actually meaning it, a one-handed wave (see his video below and you'll see the improvement), dancing, getting stuck under chairs, and much more. He's a fun little guy! Check back later for the highlights from his birthday!

Don't be fooled by this happy post. I am actually home sick right now; that's why I have time to make this post. We had been sick for almost two weeks, and were totally on the mend. We had about two days of good health, and then BAM! stuffy noses, sneezing, coughing, sore throats, and pink eye. Yep. No fun.

Oh, and if you look closely at the pictures above, you'll notice Baby Ethan's head cocked to one side. We just learned that he has Torticollis, and has to go to physical therapy once a week. Very sad, the poor bubs. It could be a lot worse, with a helmet and everything, so we are really grateful it is not very severe.
