Ethan's Infant pictures

                                            

Loads of Pictures!

Look at these cute cute boys!  I'm so lucky!  I have a beautiful blue eyed baby boy and a gorgeous brown eyed boy.  I can see so much of their father in them.  I sure am blessed. Being a mother is one of the most challenging and greatest callings in life.  I love it!

Both of these pictures were taken on the same day. My boys just were really tired and slept in really funny positions.  Ethan is half way on his side and arching his back at the same time.  Tucker decided to move his pillow in the middle of his bed.  Tucker's feet are at the head board and he decided to take two cars into bed.  I don't know how children sleep in the positions they do.

 

During the winter, life can get really boring.  Since I have young children we are usually stuck inside, but we always try to keep busy.  Tucker likes to paint so we do that once in a while.  This time I decided to take a picture of Tucker painting, but during mid-shot he told me "NO!" Apparently he didn't want his picture taken.  Once in a while when I get Ethan down for a nap Tucker and I will go outside.  Aaron has taught Tucker how to throw snowballs at me!  I must say that Tucker has mastered it.  Another thing that Tucker likes to do is to take the icicles off the car and throw them into piles of snow because they sink.

We also do a lot of wrestling in our house.  Ethan is still too little to wrestle, so we just love on him. :)  Tucker on the other hand, he is crazily strong!  

We also like to cook.  Tucker even likes to help.  In this specific picture we made a New Orleans shrimp dish.  It was YUMMY!

At the beginning of the picture Ethan liked being held by Tucker, but then Tucker let Ethan slip so Ethan fussed.  Just a funny observation, both boys are wearing pjs that are the same color of their eyes.

We had a family outing this week and took Tucker bowling for the first time.  Tucker really liked the ball hitting the pins, but he didn't like sharing turns.  I think he also had a hard time focusing because of the loud music.  I think we are going to wait till he is three before we take him again.

Many people don't realize that there is a new post "under" my pregnancy post.  Please keep scrolling down.  It is titled "December." There are lots of pictures, so please enjoy!

The Boys

I thought it would be cool to compare Tucker's and Ethan's looks as they grow up.  Here is Tucker at 2 months of age...

and now Ethan...

December

 Well time sure has flown by since Ethan was born.  I don't have as much time to do what I want so there wasn't a posting in december, sorry. Christmas was great and we were spoiled so much by our families.  Tucker loves his new Mack toy from the movie Cars.  He has to take it every where with him, including during meal times and to bed.  Maria and Jason got him it.  Aaron cut our tree down himself!  He was very proud of it too. Our Christmas tree was decorated in a country theme. I hung cranberries, orange slices, and homemade gingerbread cookies.  Tucker's favorite part of the tree was the cookies.  He would always eat them.  I tried teaching him not to, but he would always sneak and eat them.  I guess he gets that from his Papa. So I gave up and would let him eat them.  By Christmas morning our tree only had cookies on the top half of it.  Tucker has loads of fun with Nana.  She came to help us out for one week after Ethan was born.  In the picture above they were watching the Polar Express (again) and Nana was sharing her birthday pie with Tucker.  I can't wait till July when they come back out!

 Both boys are growing big and strong.  Tucker is now 29.5 lbs and 36.5 inches long!  I can't believe my oldest is 2 1/2 years old.  Ethan is 2 months now and weighs in at 12 lbs 4 oz and is 22 inches long.  He sure is my chunky baby, which is the total opposite of what Tucker was.  They sure do like eachother.  Today I was changing Ethan's diaper on my bed and Tucker comes over and sits next to Ethan.  Ethan looked at Tucker and totally grinned.  I wish I could have gotten a picture of the two of them.  It was a kodak moment.  Tucker every so often will go over and hug Ethan while he is laying on the couch and say "oh, I love you."  It is so sweet.

Ethan Parker May

Ethan Parker May was born November 24 at 11:01 AM.  He weighed 6 lbs and 9 oz.  His length was 19".  He was very stubborn coming out. I was in labor for 32 hours and I did it with out an epidural!  I am very pleased with myself.

He has very blue eyes.  They remind me of his Aunt Maria's eyes. His hair is blonde, but I secretly hope it goes darker.

Can't you see us glowing of excitement that he finally arrived? Oh wait, maybe that is just exhaustion.

Tucker is loving being a big brother! He is always asking to hold Ethan.  Ethan has probably received 100 kisses just from Tucker and he is only two days old!

Here is a funny picture Aaron took.  It's amazing how small babies are or maybe my husband just has a really big foot.
