leaving on a jet plane
SNIFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!! I'm going to be leaving on the 5th for a month or more to maryland for different reasons. I am dying with the thoughts of having to be away from my baby for so long, atleast I have the peace of mind that he loves his daddy just as much as me and hes so attached to him, so even if he misses me, he has daddy. I wont be posting for a while since I wont be with Ethan anyway....so this blog will be on hold for a month or so, unless john figures out how to use it while im gone, and posts photos for me. Ethan is doing super well, getting all chubby again now that he is eating properly and not sick anymore. Please keep us in your prayers for this swine flu thats going around -- it seems to be sloweing down a bit, but its still a concern in our minds that its still around and contageous. Love you all!

Bath fun
I needed to kill some time today, So I got a tub and had a big water play/bath time afternoon.
It was great and they had loads of fun...probably took up a good hour and a half of my long afternoon, so that was a plus as well. Ethan is doing super well, I am so happy that he took the proper medicine and that we found out what was wrong, because he has been eating so much better since finishing his anti biotics, and even happier then he was before (if thats possible). These photos are from today, enjoy.XXX

almost better!!!
Ethan is pretty much better now, he had his last shot yesterday...(totally heartbreaking)....and is on his last day of oral antibiotics and the doctor checked him yesterday and was surprised as to how well he was and how good he looked...so thats a relief! I'm so happy all the shots are over, because he LOVES going out in the car, and has never been scared of the hospital at all, cuz he normally just goes in for little check ups and a occational perscription for a cold or cough, ect. But he got smart after the 2nd shot and realised that everytime he went to the hospital (in this last week), they hurt him and so the last 2 shots, the second we drove up to the clinic, he started crying and saying no....he was so scared of getting his shots that he didnt even want to get in the car on the last day. This weekend were going to take him to a park that has fun rides and play places, so that he wont think every time he goes out he has to get an owiee. Anyway, I'm glad thats over....he just got in his 9th and 10th tooth (molars), and 2 more are looking like they will break through any day now...so that has made him a little sad and owiee, but other then that he is doing super well and sleeping great! I love you XXX

quick update
sorry i'm not posting....I'll explain.
Ethan went in for tests (blood, stool, ect.) because there was a salmonella virus going around and so I wanted to check to see if he had it. He wasn't showing any signs of being sick or anything
(other then having diareah for about a week), he was his normal self and totally happy so I didn't think he had anything. But little did I know, his results came in and from what the doctor told us he has the very worst case of salmonella (4 different types of it), and it was so bad that it has turned into Typhoid fever. I sorta freaked out cuz he said if he doesnt show better results by sunday, he will need to be hospitilized. For the next 4 days he will take a shot per day of anti biotics and is also taking another anti biotic by bottle. He is acting totally fine, super happy, no fever, an occatioal tummy pain....but he's being sooo tough for having such a serious sickness.
Please keep him in your prayers, I deffinetly do not want him to have to be hospitilized and we are doing everything we can to make him better.
The doctor said that he looks like he will pull through it pretty fast because he doesnt even have a slight fever. Hopefully after sunday (his last shot) the virus will be completely gone and he will be better.
Love you all! I'll post updates as much as possible. XXX

Potty training and more...
Today I started potty training Ethan -- hmmm....so far it hasen't gone the greatest, he hates having to sit on it and as soon as he hears the word potty, he goes to the corner and tries to force himself to go in his diaper before I can sit him on the potty....quite the sneeky little prince. I got him some cookies to try to bribe him, and it seems like it has worked so far, I can atleast get him to sit for 2 minutes (which is all that is nessessary because i've heard that its bad for babies to sit on a potty for too long) while having his cookie and doing his flash cards or reading a book, ect.

Water fun
Sorry I havent been posting for the longest time....and when I do its only photos....things have been pretty busy and its hard to find time to blog.
All is well, Ethan has been such a good boy and is getting so smart. He adores his school and when he sees all his flash cards and books, he comes and plops himself in my lap and points to what he wants saying please. He is not talking much yet because he is learning French (from tiffany, his godmother) and so they say it takes longer for a child to talk when hes learning more then one language. It's pretty cute though, he understands french as well as english....is more obedient to french commands and everything, such a smartie.
He does say a coupple words like mama and dada, ball, baba (for bottle), tries to say dog every once in a while...but other then that he just makes sounds for what he wants and nods his head yes or no. His new craze is "animals at a zoo" a book I got him recently, he makes every animal sound in the book, its pretty darling.
Anyhow, heres some photos from yesterday. We filled our pool a few feet high (its normally way too cold to even have a pool so we dont fill it, but its really nice weather these days and the kids dont mind the icey water) for the kids to swim a bit....Ethan used to love water but he got scared once during his bath because he slipped. So untill yesterday, he wouldnt take baths at all and would only shower with john or I holding him the whole time.
John wanted to get him used to being in the water again, so slowely eased him closer in the pool and finally after about an hour of trying, he would walk up to the water by him self -- and a while after that he would go in up to his waist. Hopefully that helped him to not be scared of the water anymore.....I'm thinking of getting him a blow-up pool this month so I can make the water warmer. Ok, im going to stop blabbing....just updating the relatives and grandparents, since its rare I write anything at all. LOVE YOU ALL!!
