Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' Keep that baby rollin'

Yesterday Ethan rolled over for the first time on purpose. I put him on his stomach from time to time to see if he would do it. Most of the time he just gets so mad he shoves his face in the ground and screams. Yesterday was no different at first. I put him on his tummy then decided that while he was laying there, I would run and do a few things really quick around the house, like put Brian's nasty work clothes away because he apparently doesn't know how. So anyway, I was putting some things away when all of the sudden, Ethan stopped crying. My first thought was "Uh oh. He probably shoved something in his mouth and is choking!" So I ran into our room where he was and he was just laying on his back all happy. I couldn't believe it because he occasionally would roll up on his side when he was mad enough and he rolled over once on accident from being too mad. So when Brian got home, we decided to see if he actually meant to do it. He rolled over three times like it was no big deal. He is now a pro and we can't keep him on his tummy for more than a few seconds. The best part is the look on his face. He pushes himself up on his hands and then tips to the left or right. The look on his face when he tips on his back is priceless. Its is a very scared, "what the heck is going on here?" kind of look. So cute. Hopefully we'll catch it on camera soon and I'll post it. Anyway, I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Ethan's Blessing

I can't believe its been almost three months since I had Ethan. He will be three months old on Saturday. Crazy! We also blessed him this past Sunday. It went really well and Ethan didn't even cry. He just slept which is what both me and Brian were praying for. He looked so cute in his little tux we borrowed from Heather and Robert. Thanks guys! Both of our families came along with some wonderful friends. We were so happy that everyone could make it. It meant a lot. After the blessing, we all came over to our house to eat. I made chicken salad sandwiches and we had tonz of salads and desserts which were wonderful. Funny thing about the chicken salad sandwiches though. So I didn't know how much to make for fifty plus people so what did I do? Called my wonderful sister Laura. She knows everything about everything, especially cooking so I asked her. She wasn't sure on this though so she told me to call a deli. I called the deli at Macey's and asked how many pounds of chicken I should make for the sandwiches for fifty people. Can you guess how much? Forty pounds! Of chicken! Seriously! That's almost a pound of chicken per person. I had to ask if I heard the girl right. She was like "Yeah, I said forty pounds. That's what we recommend." Can you believe it? So I didn't do forty pounds because to me that sounds like a TON of chicken. I only did twelve pounds and we had about half of the filling left. So guess what we're eating for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? Yep, chicken salad sandwiches. Anyway, the blessing went really well and I loved having it but I'm also glad its over. Ethan was pretty good for most the day but I think near the end he was getting a little overwhelmed with all the people. After everyone left, we just kind of vegged around for a little bit then headed over to Laura's for a super bowl party. I didn't even know who was playing but its fun to have a party at Laura's no matter the occassion. It was really good to see everyone and we're so grateful for all the help! Thank you so much for everything! Oh and Ethan is now laughing when I tickle him. Hopefully we'll get it on camera soon. Its just too cute!

Our cute family.

He was so happy for the camera.

He had a long day.

All decked out in his tux.

This is just a random picture. He usually pulls his head up and gets really mad but for some reason this time he was just happy to chill on his tummy.

I just love this picture. I love the hat. Thanks Miss!
