Pool Time!

Ethan and I are lucky enough to be part of a mom's group that is wonderful. Last Thursday we went to Ethan's first pool party.
The morning started off badly, because I COULD NOT find one of the 3 bathing suits I know he has....frustrating. Then I went to Publix to buy a swim diaper, and they don't sell them! UGH! Thankfully, I called one of the mom's and she loaned me a swim diaper.

Ethan seemed to like the pool. It was really warm, and i'm paranoid about the sun, so we had an umbrella right over the area of the pool we stayed in. Plus he had a hat, plus I put some sunscreen on him. It was right before naptime that everyone decided to go in the pool, so I wasn't sure he'd be ok, but he was!!

Please excuse how terrible I look! Isn't he a cutie!??!?!

Going back to work....

For a visit!

Today was teacher appreciation day at my school. The parents were giving a luncheon, and I wanted to come visit so they could see Ethan! We had a great time! Everyone said he is "juicy". I guess it's because he is so chunky! He was 10.4lbs at birth, and was 16lbs at his 2 month appointment. I was worried he gained too much, but the Dr's say he's just fine!

It was really nice visiting with my work friends, and for my students parents to meet him. I brought cookies for my students, and we spent some time in the class together. I can't believe it was only 3 months ago that I was working, and teaching!

The transition to Stay-at-home mom was pretty easy, but i'm still trying to get into a routine. It isn't all mom's playgroups and spa days :) This week I was able to sweep and mop the floors, and clean the bathrooms. I also meal planned for the week, but have only made one of those meals yet.... I need to get into a better routine of cleaning/planning...it'll come!

Last night Etan slept from 10:30pm till 3:30am, I went in and he wasn't awake, but was fussing. I just patted him, and went to the den to wait for him to wail, and the next thing I knew was 5:15am! So he slept almost 7hrs straight....lets hope it continues!
Here is a picture from the first time I brought Ethan to work to visit, he was 6weeks. This time I didn't take any pics :(

First blog!

Hi all!

This is my first blog post! I have pretty much no idea who to use this, and i'll try to get a second to learn. Having Ethan around takes up most of my time, and since i'm carrying him alot, most of my hands. I have learned to text with one hand, but typing is still a problem.
Anyway, I wanted to start this blog, because I am terrible at writing things down by hand, but I don't mind typing them. I want to record the things I do with Ethan and my family, and this seem to be the best way to do that.

I have never understood how to "follow" other's blogs. Is there a way that you can follow them, and when they update it shows up on a newsfeed?  Help!

I leave you with a family picture....
