Dear Mommy and Daddy...

Jan.26, 2010

Dear Mommy & Daddy,

I’m 7 weeks old today! Can you believe how big I’m getting. Mommy put me on the scale with her today and I already weigh 13 pounds! Mommy’s been feeding me really well. Maybe too well… daddy tried to get me to drink from a bottle today and yesterday and well, who do you think you’re fooling?!? Don’t get me wrong, I love you daddy, but mommy has been feeding me my whole life. Why would I want left-overs from a bottle? I guess mommy needs a break, so daddy, keep trying and I’ll see if I can adjust.

What an exciting day! Not only is it my 7 week birthday, but I also had a bath today. Grandma Janet came over and played with me while mommy gave me my bath. Grandma did a great job of keeping me warm and dry. I love to smile and laugh at Grandma and Mommy while they bathe me. I don’t know why, but it is so much fun! I just can’t stop laughing – and they won’t stop smiling back at me, so how can I not enjoy it?!

This evening was quite an adventure. I’m usually really tired and cranky when Daddy gets home from work. I always cry when he holds me cause I’m just so tired from a long day. But, Daddy figured out the secret today! He put me in my lamb swing… and well, I just couldn’t keep my eyes open. Once I feel asleep Daddy put me on his chest and I slept so well! I was so happy to lay with Daddy and not feel like crying. He’s such a great Daddy!

The day doesn’t end yet! Mommy fed me my bedtime snack and then put me in my PJs and changed my diaper. I tried to tell her I didn’t need my diaper changed… she finally figured it out and put it back on. I didn’t mind though because I LOVE to have my diaper changed! Mommy just smiles and talks to me and we laugh and have the best time. I have to be honest though, I just love to be naked! And I can’t help but laugh and smile everytime Mommy wipes my booty with that cool cloth. (oooh! That’s cold!) …I got my PJs on and Mommy finished feeding me…

Time for bed! Mommy realized that NOW I needed a diaper change. So, she took me to my bed-side and changed me. Only Mommy forgot to cover my… WEEEEEEEEEE! Peepee everywhere! That was sooooo fun! I got pee on my face and my PJs and all over my changing table, but I missed Mommy, so she didn’t mind. Mommy yelled for Daddy and he came running in. He helped Mommy get me all cleaned up and he took off my PJs. I was glad cause I didn’t want to sleep in wet clothes. Apparently I got peepee in my hair cause Daddy started rubbing soap all over my head and I was thinking, “didn’t I already have a bath today?” I was so confused. I never bathe this much! Well, it worked out well. Daddy cleaned me all up while Mommy held me over the sink. I was so cold cause I only had my diaper on, but I knew Mommy wouldn’t let me get too cold.

Finally Mommy took me to put on a clean pair of PJs. “Uh-oh!” I didn’t feel so good. All that diaper changing, clothes on, clothes off, bathing, and running around got my belly upset. “Oops.” I spit up ALL OVER Mommy and all over the floor. Mommy yelled for Daddy again and was laughing so hard. I don’t know if I’ve ever heard her laugh so hard?! Daddy came running and wiped my face and tried to clean Mommy up a bit. Once Mommy and I were clean I finally warmed up in a clean pair of PJs. Then, Daddy wrapped me like a burrito, walked me around his bedroom trying to get me to fall asleep. It pretty much worked. He laid me in my bed and then I was wide awake. BUT, Daddy said, “goodnight, buddy” and I fell asleep. What a day!

Love,
Ethan

Hanging with Daddy. I like to climb up his chest.

Daddy is funny!

I like to play in my Play Gym from Aunt Kim & Uncle Dave!

Exercise time with Mommy... I'm trying so hard to crawl! I usually end up with rug burn on my face cause I get tired of holding my head up. I'm doing pretty good in this picture.

I love bath time!

My new spikey hair-do after my bath... Pretty cute, huh?!
