Ethan and Ginger

Ginger is such a good dog, she puts up with a lot as Saria and always strive for the perfect picture. Here, we got one of Ginger and Ethan together.

Favorite picture

This is my favorite picture of Ethan this far. It was taken by Saria has shows how wider eyed an alert he is.

Pictures of Ethan

Here are some random pixtures of Ethan from his first month

One Month Old!

Ethan is one month old.  These following pictures have been taken over the last month at home.  Everyone is adjusting well to having a new member of the family.  He is our little bundle of joy (when he isn't screaming because we set him down ;)) See below each picture for caption.

Loves to sleep all crunched up... Unfortunately, he will not STAY asleep if this is the position he assumes at night (on his back all crunched up that is).  For him to sleep soundly, he needs to be swaddled.  

I find the frog legs cute as Rhett never did this.  Rhett was quite loved to stretch out.

Ethan on two different occasions after a bath that he seemed to enjoy after the initial shock of getting wet. :) In fact he seems rather refreshed :) 

Don't worry, they will become GREAT friends!

Needed to post this picture to prove Ethan didn't mind being lain on Ginger (and props to our dog for knowing not to move when we set Ethan - we reward her for her "tricks")

  

I love these pictures because they really show the resemblance Ethan has to Rhett.  Just as Rhett was a mini John, for now at least, Ethan is a mini Rhett!

So, this is the first full outfit we put on Ethan.  I forget why we dressed him up as previously he has been sporting just the onsie.... however, he did end up in just the onsie anyway.  

On Ethan's first Sunday to church, he sported the Tiger outfit he got from John's parents - bought in DisneyLand right after he was born.  To put in to perspective how big Ethan has gotten, the outfit is the size 6 months!

First 4th of July

It was a HOT fourth here in Wisconsin! However, that only SLIGHTLY dampened the holiday celebration spirit (in that we had to strip Ethan down to his diaper and keep him indoors to prevent him from overheating at the lake by the Bleuels). Below are some pictures of our newest peanut :)

At Warner Park waiting to watch the firework show on June 30 (he slept through the actual fireworks!)

Scary eyes :) (above left)  Holding in his nuk (above right)

The cute outfit I bought for Ethan for the holiday celebration (above left).  Ethan too hot to wear his outfit on July 4th (above right)

The temperature at 5:30 pm on July 4th (not the dry heat of Vegas or even Utah, so it was QUITE unbearable) - it confined Ethan to the A/C of the indoors!

Enjoying a nap in the A/C

Poor kid, we were doing our best to keep him cool.  At least it cooled off for our drive home!
