Learning to Sit

So I have been working with Ethan trying to get him to sit in the boppy pillow, but he just throws himself back and then wiggles...

Then I found that if I prop him up between my legs he actually does better.

Come Inside Sierra

This is what usually happens when I try to get Sierra to come inside.....

....she runs awhile and then lays down and stares at me.

6 Months Old

Ethan is 6 months old today! He's getting so big and growing up fast. He had his 6 month doctor appointment today. His new stats: height - 26 inches and weight - 15.0 lbs. The doctor said he's growing fine and following the growth charts nicely. He's a happy, healthy baby!

Christmas

Christmas went well. We had originally planned to get together with Spencer's family but some of them got sick so we just hung out with his parents. Christmas eve we had a traditional dinner. Clam chowder, rolls, salad, and cheesecake for dessert. We also went to the temple visitors center and watched "The Lamb of God" which was about the last days of the Savior. Our other activity of Christmas light watching was cancelled. Christmas dinner was cheesey potatoes, ham, green beans, veggie tray, jello salad, and ice cream rolls for dessert. All was delicious!!!

We had also planned to get together Christmas morning and open gifts, but due to illness we did our own thing. We were lazy. Ethan woke up around 9am so I fed him his breakfast and then made blueberry muffins and scrambled eggs for Spencer and me. Ethan took his nap around 11am so Spencer and I went back to bed. We finally opened presents around 12:30pm. Next year I don't think we'll be able to wait that long.


We didn't have a lot to open because Spencer and I got our presents early. My presents were a ticket to Missouri for my brothers wedding, a trip home to Washington, and getting my hair done. I cut off 3 inches and dyed it back to brown.







Spencer got a 58" flat screen TV (well it was a present for both of us) and a XBOX game "Guitar Hero: World Tour". It comes with drums, microphone, and guitar. Christmas day we gave each other small gifts. Spencer got 2 Christmas ties for church and I got a travel bag and a rug to put by our sliding door.






Christmas was all about Ethan anyways. He received toys and clothes. I don't think he knows what to do with all of them, but he likes them all!

Carrots

Ethan has been eating rice cereal for a couple weeks now so I thought I would try carrots with him tonight. Watch to see his reaction. Sorry about the video I was trying to do it myself, feed Ethan the carrots, and not get it all over us or have Ethan slide off my lap. Enjoy!
