So much excitement

There is so much excitement going on in the house poor Ethan has resisted taking a nap. The contractor is here today working on our waterdamaged ceilings. The guys have been in & out all day & poor Ethan doesn't know what to do. He woke up with my alarm this morning @ 7:30. I wanted to be up before him so that I would have time for a shower before I had to get him up, dressed, & fed. Normally he wakes up anywhere between 8-9 am. Go figure that today of all days he had to be up earlier. I had hoped when I set the alarm last night that he wouldn't hear it. I did manage to get a shower & dress before getting him up. Good thing he likes to babble to himself for a half hour when he wakes up. It's 12:42 right now & he's been sleeping for the last 10 mins. Lets hope it lasts b/c it took 45mins to get him down. He's sleeping in his play pen instead of hic crib. Since the work is being done upstairs & the drills are quite noisy I figured he would be better in the living room. The work should hopefully be done by the end of the weekend. It'll be nice not to have that ugly water spot in the living room anymore. Once all the work is done we can get started on re-painting the spare bedroom. Finally we can get rid of that horrible green!!!

Earlier today I put Ethan in his crib with a snack of teething biscuits & juice. Those things are so messy hence why he has to eat them either in his highchair or his playpen (crib). So while he was enjoying his little snack he was holding onto the side of the pen & taking steps around it! Not too much longer & he will be running around. It's so exciting but a little sad too. It's sad b/c he's grown so fast over the last 10 mos! It is hard to believe that this is the same little boy who was born 10 wks early weighing only 3lbs. Now he is passing 17 lbs!! Where did the time go. Soon enough we will be planning his 1st b-day party. Then I'm really going to wonder where the last year went. The 1st 8 weeks seemed like they were never going to end but then he came home & it seems like time has just flown by. Ethan has turned into quite the little man. He's a very determined & stubborn little boy. He didn't really have much choice there, Matt & I are both extremely stubborn & determined. We just point the finger @ eachother & laugh. As trying as Ethan can be when he doles out kisses it all becomes worth it. It's going to be interesting watching him grow & learn as the years go by.

Just to let everyone know Ethan's old site has been shut down as of today. I haven't been adding to it everything you want to know about Ethan can be found here.
