I never thought I would say that while living in Alabama. I'm ready for some sunshine!! <div><div><div><div><div></div><br /><div>Ethan is a mess! 110% boy!! I don't know if this is Nick's childhood coming back to bite him in the rear or me, but he is a mess! He is talking, walking, running, no potty training yet, and growing! We don't have any new teeth, so we have the top four, bottom four and the one year molars. I see some swollen gums so we might see some new teeth soon. E-man is doing an okay job learning how to brush his teeth. We have our good nights and bad nights but that is expected.</div><div></div><div> </div><div>I have no idea how much he weighs or how tall he is. Maybe close to 40lbs? Its getting to a point where it is super hard for me to carry for more than 5 minutes or so. As far as height, I am going to compare him to the neighbors little girl Maret`. She just went for a well baby check up and the MD estimated her height as an adult to be 5'8"ish. She is just over two years old. Ethan isn't two yet and he is already her height. Ethan is going to be super tall when he grows up!!! That excites me!!! </div><div></div><br /><div>Speaking of Maret', Ethan and her LOVE playing together! We have been so lucky to have Megan and Tyler across the street. They both have been a big help to us and Meg has been a major support to me (along with other family and friends). Let me tell you...The other night we ate taco soup over there. Ethan and Maret` were having the time of their life!!! First, we caught them lying in bed together watching cartoons, then they moved to Maret`'s toddler bed, then they discovered how much fun it is to slide off her mattress onto the floor and on top of each other. We were cleaning the kitchen and all we could hear were their laughs and cackles. (guess which kid had the cackle?!?!) THEN, after we finally got to sit down they would run out of the bedroom chasing each other, laughing, run around the couch and then back into the bedroom. It was so funny!! I loved it. We have some pics of them and Maddie (Maret`'s sister) in bed together on the camera. I'll try to post them later.<br /></div><div>Lets see...OH...the most wonderful thing in the world...Ethan has learned how to kiss. He can give us a kiss goodbye, a kiss goodnight, a kiss. It is so sweet!! He puckers up and says "mmmmmuhhhh"!!</div><br /><div>I think that is all for now. Once again, I'll try to be better about posting. </div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444247827318114530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIyqsvLtJOnEHSJvbZhu7txuFxGnaSkmgQcu9fz1MHGYwhZMtfCIuPEJLMCLJDDuefUczKe54icyTCrdfmtXMTkYSlIQB6D6avVVmloAwtmnDLzPYT4T6_KfFPwLMkxs2_ItiPKfgR-Ss/s320/e+xmas.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444247840670090082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3Y5ikKKE2aGxPa3-N67ml90vSXKBTcpU-X5lHgxwPf0lxc1XEkO5144IGPvfo49c3kl_WKA5g_3m-Mh5QhlqVJzhWN_FKS4auY8HA71lpTrr8_KWWqdMH8UKe9A8bj5QWS4Cf8yZpOIg/s320/fam+xmas.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444247849320462146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz34hE9-clTIc_PFDcnZS9I1bdnIGLJmjIAoDB9itBF9PgYgB68Umr0HXBIEhjy7KJo5IRrLe6u0_bRSQ3Z3j_9M7WETImlU09bojMUwY75yNflcyRuZGjGeM83tj8Z5Z3JSVdcVWSly0/s320/rocket.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444247819811459506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp6rNFKzC1aq-pMUzfqd_ld9UvhBtSJEeEyrUKfnLwxzhddx_5EJFh1BnGpl6wl3nW0g0qmM4IpQqMvj4q-KZA5BFk2QmxTAD975cI0xoJwHWLfUJAjps-XOaA4_Q8hxAANo-wckYNPXs/s320/eman.jpg" border="0" /></div><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>The Wade Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16238653157670595308noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-403116969080321956.post-58310706683075589352009-11-17T15:20:00.003-06:002009-11-17T15:42:18.938-06:00Tate Farms<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimIIITz8_Gw-_4MHVvfQxFAZI0riMntOJ7fMo12RbvwO66FmpJNv79iBOU74cMtBliGQo01RrN9AMFldyUFfIsmUlbEp5K2s7xSDRxiyhQR76daN8K4J9EbA3ToL5taxdt0yYD7fEAl38/s1600/DSC_0130.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimIIITz8_Gw-_4MHVvfQxFAZI0riMntOJ7fMo12RbvwO66FmpJNv79iBOU74cMtBliGQo01RrN9AMFldyUFfIsmUlbEp5K2s7xSDRxiyhQR76daN8K4J9EbA3ToL5taxdt0yYD7fEAl38/s320/DSC_0130.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405190644649069570" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">I probably should have posted this a while ago.

We have actually had a lot going on. Let's see if I can remember everything that has happened...<br /><br />*Lincoln has found a new home. Boy, did Nick find him a fabulous home! We received some help from a local rescue shelter who was able to post Linc on the web for adoption. The shelter said that pure bred dogs go fast...and they do! It only took about two weeks and Nick received the call. The owner of Atco Plantation, in Atkinson and Coffee county GA, met Nick halfway for the handoff. Lincoln is doing great at this new home. His new home is perfect for him! This place is a quail hunting plantation and they are traning Linc to be a real bird dog. The best part is that we get to track how he is doing. This guy has a blog that he keeps up. If you are interested its www.atcoplantation.com, scroll down to the bottom and click on blog. Lincoln is surely missed!<br /><br />*We are now working on introducing Avery (the yellow lab) to Ethan. Not much work to be done. Avery follows Ethan around either sniffing on his face or trying to eat the leftovers on Ethan's shirt. When Ethan get annoyed, he simply 'shoos' Avery away. Ethan does get excited at times and pets Avery and chases his tail. I don't think that pair is going to be a problem!<br /><br />*Ethan is really talking now! He loves to look at the airplanes. When he hears one, or a motorcycle, he points to the sky and says something...not necessarily airplane...but talks in his own language about the airplane. He says Avery, diaper, daddy, mama, hi, vroom (for truck), he barks, does monkey sounds, says moo, and is overall a happy baby most of the time!<br /><br />*We are for sure getting a taste of the terrible twos! He had a fit in the Outback parking lot last weekend. We are working on parking lot rules (he has to hold our hands) and he didn't want to follow them, so he layed out in the parking lot. Recently he has hated his car seat too. He just arches his back and rolls over as he is screaming and crying. We aren't too happy about this, but that is part of it!<br /><br />Our little man is such a joy! He makes us laugh more and more each day!</span></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0bLsXCfr7fLoLXRQsRDU5gBVZv7ah-_DQ16AsZT_zzlYiZ4J5-W64bOysyAGXwlavj2RnF7KFAQ0TiwHXrTL6ejtZx8HyiQhgPUAHP_H-XXuRjnRBxUuZRWRItAZkHH9s9olfnLhubMU/s1600/DSC_0231.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0bLsXCfr7fLoLXRQsRDU5gBVZv7ah-_DQ16AsZT_zzlYiZ4J5-W64bOysyAGXwlavj2RnF7KFAQ0TiwHXrTL6ejtZx8HyiQhgPUAHP_H-XXuRjnRBxUuZRWRItAZkHH9s9olfnLhubMU/s320/DSC_0231.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405183214028099218" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br /></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC4Hih_LRFTMcS9OMYcSZMAf8NZlDvgUVRS8DKGi7KPXJ22elkV4LIQC8-jti9Fy5B1ihfHqNawLu4KaJR-_PAz6lN5JwbOlLyqs0HxmxDPXj1ffSZ27HUKPV7nxBlwS94RUyNJxSB3Hk/s1600/DSC_0222.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC4Hih_LRFTMcS9OMYcSZMAf8NZlDvgUVRS8DKGi7KPXJ22elkV4LIQC8-jti9Fy5B1ihfHqNawLu4KaJR-_PAz6lN5JwbOlLyqs0HxmxDPXj1ffSZ27HUKPV7nxBlwS94RUyNJxSB3Hk/s320/DSC_0222.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404551094913110866" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span>The Wade Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16238653157670595308noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-403116969080321956.post-46342416947338044502009-09-27T21:19:00.003-05:002009-09-27T22:06:37.703-05:00Our first visit to the Peds ER<div align="center"> <span style="font-family:Arial;">We have had a pretty eventful weekend. We spent Friday night in the Pediatric ER. It was pretty scary! Ethan began wheezing Thursday night. When I took him to daycare on Friday, I told not only his teacher, but the director too, to watch him closely and to let me know if it gets bad. Nick went to go pick him up at the end of the day and immediately noticed his breathing. He asked the teacher if Ethan had been breathing like that all day and she said "Yea, what's wrong with him?" Well, Nick brought him home, fed him and was getting him ready for bed and called me a few times in between worried about his breathing. When I got home it was plain to see why Nick was so worried! Ethan sounded like a rattle/baby seal. He couldn't get a good breath and was breathing really fast b/c of it. We immediately loaded him up and took him in. </span><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;">We had a pretty good experience for the Peds ER. From all the bad stuff I hear, it wasn't too shabby. They got us in and back there within about 10 minutes, saw the MD within 30 minutes and then the respiratory therapist within the next 30 minutes. From then on we were getting treatment. After his first breathing treatment, he went to sleep. Nick and I were just staring at him making sure he was breathing! It was so hard for him to breath. His couldn't get any air and his saturation's went down into the 70s/80s. When he started to retract, Nick immediately called the RN back in there, then the MD came back. That was very scary! He was breathing so hard his chest was forming an indention; a cup shape. He was struggling so hard! Then came the continuous breathing treatment, which really helped! His saturation's went back up to the upper 90s/100. A feeling of relief!!!</span></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Final diagnosis: Influenza A (Swine Flu) and the Croup</span></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;">10 hours, 4 breathing treatments, 2 medications, 1 IV, and kicking and screaming later; they admitted us for observation. Ethan did pretty good. We finally got some rest...and food. About lunch time on Saturday Ethan began moving around. Jumping all over the 19 chairs they had in that tiny room, talking laughing. My mom was able to come up from AU and relieve us for some time. We all took another nap and waited for AL vs. AK game to be over. Once it was, we were just pacing waiting on the MD to come back through. The covering MD is an AK fan so we knew what he was doing while we were pacing! Finally, the MD came back and discharged us home about 8 Saturday night.</span></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Ethan is doing good today (Sunday). Breathing pretty good, excellent compared to Friday! Playing a bit more, even went outside to play for a short time. Fought a low grade fever. Now he's in bed. Hopefully he will continue to get better day by day!</span></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;">A big thanks to the Man upstairs for watching out for our little man!!!</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386348568214469618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyCpvmlqcNrLu_ITYyDV80jtffF6t44j8BuMTWDZ-4S57lSz2BtsrVA5Rg9L0R69XCl4t1EZnGG2eqQBL4vqEPJ549ERfcNB6qpGCS8kQqBqnJ6pK3qN1_k5QBAb9Iq6ruMBoBXoxZu2U/s320/Hospital.jpg" border="0" /></span></div>The Wade Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16238653157670595308noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-403116969080321956.post-43137091394587000032009-09-24T22:10:00.002-05:002009-09-24T22:17:51.542-05:00Well Baby Check-upWe had our latest well baby check-up on Monday. E-man weighs in at 32.5 lbs and is 34.7 inches tall! He come in at 99% in height, weight, and head circumference. What a big boy! Our doctor said he is looking great! Its a darn good thing that Ethan can walk and run with excellence or else y'all would need to come visit me in the hospital after back surgery. ;) We didn't really have any areas of concern to discuss. She started in on 'time-out' tips. She witnessed Ethan pitch a fit and that is what initiated it. I think our terrible twos have just begun! Don't worry, I'm sure you will be able to witness a fit or two at some point in the near future! :DThe Wade Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16238653157670595308noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-403116969080321956.post-58483294659853428822009-08-24T21:14:00.004-05:002009-08-24T22:29:49.187-05:00<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqVKFzN09Z0AbyDQVpBviI-6e7Bk0anMuVHF-GrgcUwGwmt204z_UDXJRak_lNpEt6QA8szcKtx0sumDNJn-tHL-4_JGz3nyTCwa5884ABfC0CXpSiNP_wRme2bdb6j9DhWa24Zh9vPds/s1600-h/july+4th+-+10.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373738208634232258" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 113px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqVKFzN09Z0AbyDQVpBviI-6e7Bk0anMuVHF-GrgcUwGwmt204z_UDXJRak_lNpEt6QA8szcKtx0sumDNJn-tHL-4_JGz3nyTCwa5884ABfC0CXpSiNP_wRme2bdb6j9DhWa24Zh9vPds/s320/july+4th+-+10.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEz4TJBsmV6KiRWllGGVodVvqv151STY-9eHmAsverf1LVyZIitcum2uZ0WKQMqeaa4h425QvrVYFLV-uijg30fdjhK9qbRw6hDOCC39IgAkXIDEBGJbK4iCTHc5ORNlhip24k3FCgT6o/s1600-h/Farmer+ethan+2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373738197372581426" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEz4TJBsmV6KiRWllGGVodVvqv151STY-9eHmAsverf1LVyZIitcum2uZ0WKQMqeaa4h425QvrVYFLV-uijg30fdjhK9qbRw6hDOCC39IgAkXIDEBGJbK4iCTHc5ORNlhip24k3FCgT6o/s320/Farmer+ethan+2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div>Holy Cow...it's been two months since I have posted. Sorry for the lack of posting.<br /><br />Ethan is now 14 months old. He is walking with complete balance (and has been doing that since he was about 12 months old). We have three molars that have totally entered into his mouth. He has definitely had a growth spurt. I would say about 32 lbs. He is basically eating whatever me and Nick eat, and he loves to eat. Go figure, our big boy Ethan loves to eat. Beware all of you visitors...if you are snacking around E-man you better have enough for him!<br /><br />We're really working on vocabulary right now. Ethan is pointing at everything, but not so many words. We have the normal mama, dada, uh-oh, and there has been the occasional dog, woof, shoe, hi, hello, but nothing steady. Ethan does know where his nose is. He points right to it and laughs. Its the cutest thing in the world! Although he doesn't say many words, he "talks" up a storm; in the store, car, in the front yard! He just jabbers away!<br /><br />Funny stories:<br />Ethan and I were walking to school one morning. We were walking down the hall and he stopped and looked at me. I turned around and he pointed at his foot. He said "shoe". I looked down and Nick had put his sandal on too tight and his poor little fat foot was sticking out the holes. When we got into his classroom, we took his shoes off and he got to spend the rest of the day barefoot. Poor little man. To say the least we went and bought him new shoes the next weekend (and yes, he is in a size 6 shoe).<br /><br />Family trip to Wal-mart this past weekend. Walking up and down the aisles and Ethan was pointing and talking to everyone and everything he saw. We finally made it to the checkout line and Ethan was sitting in the buggy. The cashier was trying to get him to say hi to her and wave! After much encouragement, he did it! We were so excited that he did it over and over again. When we went to unload the groceries into the trunk there was this little college girl a couple cars down unloading her groceries too. All of the sudden we hear Ethan yell "HI" and wave frantically. We look up and he is screaming at this little girl. Of course she starts talking back to him and playing with him and he just talks and talks to her. It was so funny! I can just imagine him when he gets older... Ladies, look out! ;)<br /><br />We love this little man so much! Every day is a new story for us and we can't wait to see what the next day brings! He's so much fun!!! I'll try to do better about posting, once again...I promise!The Wade Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16238653157670595308noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-403116969080321956.post-45700466170212599502009-07-01T21:56:00.003-05:002009-07-01T22:15:36.701-05:00A fungus among us...So, I'm at work on Tuesday and I get a phone call from the daycare..."uh, Caroline, during the summer we have this fungus that grows through the bark on the floor of the playground. We've had it tested and it isn't poisonous. Ethan was running around the playground and when we turned around he had a wad of it in his mouth and in his hand. I don't know how much he ate, but it was in his mouth." So, immediately, I called the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">md</span> office and, surprise, surprise, the office staff that answered the phone was rude. Then I had my first run-in with poison control. They run a pretty good program. Ethan is fine. I doubt he even swallowed but a bit of it. His poos are weird colored, but no other symptoms or anything. Also, we had a well-baby check up that day too, so it kinda worked out well. His check up went well too! He is weighing in at 29 lbs and 33.3 inches tall. He falls into the 99% in height, 98% in weight, and 97% in head <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">circumference</span>. His body has finally caught up with his head...bless him! He screamed with his shots, but he did really good other than that.<br /><p>OH, and on top of that, he came home with a bruised eye today. Some kid and him were fighting over a toy and apparently the other kid hit him in the eye with the toy. He has a scratch on it.</p><p>And he isn't even two yet....we have our work cut out for us!!!</p><br /><p>Just some updates on him: </p><ul><li>Walking all by himself, has been doing so for weeks now!</li><li>Running around the house</li><li>Talking up a storm! Nothing that makes sense, but just a jabbering!!!</li><li>Laughing a ton! Nothing beats that either!</li><li>No new teeth, but is teething with his molars</li><li>All table foods</li><li>When he wakes up in the morning, he pushes his new Glow Worm and sings along with it. That is what we wake up to through the intercom. :)</li></ul><p> </p><p> </p>The Wade Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16238653157670595308noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-403116969080321956.post-42256216850991602812009-06-26T22:58:00.005-05:002009-06-26T23:59:50.982-05:00Birthday Weekend<div align="center">Holy Cow!

That's the most fun anyway!!</span></div><ul><li><span style="font-family:Arial;">We are now walking! Not like "I'll hold your hands and walk as long as you are next to me" kinda walking, like "put me down so I can follow dada to the bedroom" kinda walking. Ethan's really good at it too! He falls not as often as he used to, and all he does is pout for a minutes and gets right back up! He sure is head strong!</span></li><br /><li><span style="font-family:Arial;">We are teething again. We have the 8 front teeth so I am wondering if this isn't his vampire teeth or maybe even a molar. Holy Cow!!!</span><br /></li><li><span style="font-family:Arial;">We are basically on all table food. </span><br /></li><li><span style="font-family:Arial;">One morning we were having company come over for lunch and Ethan got food in his hair during breakfast. So, I decided to give him a bath to clean him up. I got him naked in his room and went to the bathroom to start the bath water. When I came back into his room his little naked self was playing with one of his "stand and go no where" toys. He had pulled himself up and was straddling one of the legs. He looked right at me smiling. After I thought "aww, my baby is so sweet" I looked down and he was going potty on the floor. As soon as he was finished, he danced a jig and laughed at me. What a stinker!!!!</span></li><br /><li><span style="font-family:Arial;">We had a family trip to the beach. Some friends of ours got married. Ethan had a ton of fun! He did good on the beach...until he got hungry. He didn't mind the sand on his feet, but couldn't figure out the sand on his hands. He danced the night away at the wedding. We all had a great time!</span></li></ul><div><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfP-C98UodmKChV-gd-_1vv8NfFhNFt4ZCr5bgoddlmdqRNHHIJevAzISb4w1Kd1wnRIC4-YU5yL5cFh4oRreDUGrHHTB1eU0hrIrfClTYjhtDpErOIHfPJ0N1F0T7vDl-qfQ-eegzLzg/s1600-h/Ethan+pics+D60-Beach+Pics+073.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343680857103906658" style="WIDTH: 215px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 324px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfP-C98UodmKChV-gd-_1vv8NfFhNFt4ZCr5bgoddlmdqRNHHIJevAzISb4w1Kd1wnRIC4-YU5yL5cFh4oRreDUGrHHTB1eU0hrIrfClTYjhtDpErOIHfPJ0N1F0T7vDl-qfQ-eegzLzg/s320/Ethan+pics+D60-Beach+Pics+073.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhesXfhbrB-6nW5zjl-oN25ipEhAkwri3hoYSFsdpUkVK5q28Uw_8AoGiHuwxlkhq_R5WWv8rZwHgOduoFtXD6HVU8ArfyA33l3pqym7IoPdCiRkB7SRU22iDW1DVLLOFPSJUTmf5B-P5A/s1600-h/Ethan+pics+D60-Beach+Pics+005.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343680854744962946" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhesXfhbrB-6nW5zjl-oN25ipEhAkwri3hoYSFsdpUkVK5q28Uw_8AoGiHuwxlkhq_R5WWv8rZwHgOduoFtXD6HVU8ArfyA33l3pqym7IoPdCiRkB7SRU22iDW1DVLLOFPSJUTmf5B-P5A/s320/Ethan+pics+D60-Beach+Pics+005.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm0gupDPJElzsFuBiIWypIFgpBllPUdZjuo9Snl6r77bURmVvQEGrctIVnKedjyQ0a5f3kkOVoXDPICh7Gv-587Q0utmj9-KLA_F1K3PZsYK47gdxVpBQGX7h3KjqllC34Y1GnepaDDhQ/s1600-h/Ethan+pics+D60-Beach+Pics+161.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343680861743749330" style="WIDTH: 273px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 178px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm0gupDPJElzsFuBiIWypIFgpBllPUdZjuo9Snl6r77bURmVvQEGrctIVnKedjyQ0a5f3kkOVoXDPICh7Gv-587Q0utmj9-KLA_F1K3PZsYK47gdxVpBQGX7h3KjqllC34Y1GnepaDDhQ/s320/Ethan+pics+D60-Beach+Pics+161.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div align="center"></div><div><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">The first picture is from the wedding.

We are so excited! (as you will be able to tell by my squeal) I don't know what happened, but we were just playing on the floor and Ethan wanted to go over to his dada who was eating dinner. I guess I just stood him up and let go. When I did, he just took off! The video is of the last time we tried. The best video is on our other camera. But here is a sneak peak!!! Oh, please excuse the mess in the background....</span><br /><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzO5RHsbFfC-S0mcJB6xDG5KsjSV0MkPhhn2ttDW3XOnfOMGwgHCHnP_Ucx6uQa9m6h8zHcnqKgKLntqqO5Iw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>The Wade Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16238653157670595308noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-403116969080321956.post-35973936448151334962009-04-29T21:37:00.003-05:002009-04-29T21:55:46.299-05:00Growing, growing, growing....<div align="center"> <span style="font-family:arial;">We sure are growing up fast. Ethan's 7th, yes 7th, tooth is coming in. He has four on the bottom and his two front upper teeth. The newest tooth is his upper right one, right next to the front one. It just started to cut, so the tip is out. He is handling it like a champ. No rash, fever, tons of drooling and a little bit of fussiness. Nothing we can't handle though!</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;">He is pulling up on everything! These days when I go pick him up in the mornings, he is standing at the end of the crib, holding onto the rail and jumping up and down. Most of the time he is whining for me to GET HIM OUT and as soon as I pick him up he starts talking and smiling. Its so funny! </span></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;">He is getting good at walking. We are holding just one hand now while he walks. Its hard for him to catch his balance at times, but he is improving day by day. He can walk from side to side while holding on to something. I think they call that cruising the furniture?!</span></div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Arial;">I think I start to plan what to do for his birthday. What do you think? Can you believe that he turns one year old in less than two months.

Since Ethan is basically on all table foods, he got a little bit of creamed corn, green beans, crackers, and sweet potatoes. I thought he would be somewhat full, so when I got home I wanted to fill the rest of his little belly with some fruit. I had a can of mandarin oranges. Yall have heard me say how much he likes those things. Prime example was tonight. I couldn't keep those suckers on his tray. As soon as I would put them down he would grab one slice and suck it into his mouth, eat, swallow, repeat. It probably took about 7-10 minutes for the ENTIRE can. He ate all of it! What a hefty eater!!!!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">I just thought it was so funny he ate the entire can so fast....hehe.</span>The Wade Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16238653157670595308noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-403116969080321956.post-66793138461870045902009-04-13T16:25:00.002-05:002009-04-13T16:35:09.938-05:00Words of Wisdom...<div align="left"><span style="font-family:arial;">No, not really...but I did want to tell you what words we are using:</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span> </div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><strong>Mama</strong>-not really knowing that I am mama, but says it when he is pitching a fit/crying or on his tummy.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><strong>bye bye/hello</strong>-not really saying it, but he has started to wave bye bye and hello</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><strong>doggie</strong>-LOVES the dogs, he will make a bee line to the window to watch the dogs. He'll point and say "Duh" then beat on the window</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Last, but not least....<strong>Dada</strong>-and yes, he now knows who dada is, loves him dearly, and when you say "wheres dada?" He'll look around for nick. </span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span> </div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Oh, he also can give me and Nick kisses. Well, not really kisses but open mouth slobbers on the cheek. He'll do it about three times and laughs after each one.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span> </div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:Arial;">OH, and we are now almost all on table foods. He loves chewing and continues to spit out baby foods, except cereal for some reason. He ate a whole can of Mandarin oranges the other day. Loves those, bananas, sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, sweet peas, and green beans. I'm sure there are more, but I can't remember right now. :)</span></div>The Wade Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16238653157670595308noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-403116969080321956.post-59052134345110898322009-04-11T23:06:00.007-05:002009-04-13T16:05:21.340-05:00<div align="center"><div><div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Last week was a crazy! We started out with a well-baby check up on Monday. It was actually a well baby/sick baby check up little did the MD know. Nick and Ethan had been sick for the week prior so when Ethan and I walked into the MD office, Ethan let out a huge juicy cough. Poor baby had been coughing so bad his face was turning a nice shade of red. So, during the well baby check up the MD also gave us a script for the cough/cold but told us to hold off on filling it to see where the cold goes. The good part is that Ethan is still way big for his age. (Ya don't say) He was actually 9 months and about 2 weeks. He weighed 26 lbs and 14 oz and he was 31 1/2 inches long. This put him in the 99% for everything. What a big boy! He also had his anemia test, Ethan is not anemic, and his last hep B shot. We're good to go now! The cough comes and go still, but he seems to be feeling better.</span><br /></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:Arial;">Then, later on in the week Nick's illness got worse. He was having coughing fits which woke him and me up and I am sure he was running a fever at some point. He sounded terrible and felt terrible. So he went to the MD and Yep, he had walking pneumonia. It was bad! Immediately he got on his meds and took it easy and I called Ethan's MD. I told her RN what nick was diagnosed with they put Ethan on a much stronger med. Thankfully he only gets it once a day. Me, now that's another story. I don't feel good now, but I am thinking its the weather, no infection or anything.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:Arial;">Well, on a brighter note, Ethan loves to walk. He loves to hold onto your fingers and just walk around. He loves to be upright! He'll just walk in circles if you let him. We are trying to teach him his balance right now and that's a slow process. He's so funny...if he falls on his bottom or something he just look at us. If we react immediately he gets upset and starts to cry, but if we just look him and tell him its okay, he's like "okay, I'm cool, now pick me back up and lets go again". We have also seen Ethan starting to crawl!!! Yep, crawl! At this point, its more of an army crawl, just shuffling forward. He'll put his hands in front of him and pull himself forward. He is also pulling up on things. We spent some time yesterday working on pulling up and crawling. This is also funny b/c if he gets mad or something he'll scream and pout then look at us to see if we seem him pitching a fit (which we do) and if we aren't doing anything about it, he'll start playing with something else and forget all about it. He's so funny! Its really neat to watch him!</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgr-dREvqDOYX7wFcJe4GlXnkHMznZwT1Y7ClKngvhjBGVP0MwyK_6svede3-x5Wg5HSKUIVU8csp5dJxVBwil81Iu6mlDYYAX6s7__Y6jYWtBj6e_zVVWU-lABSsgBTWfE8SMeziUW80/s1600-h/Ethan+pics+D60-9%2Bmonths+047.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324268051314923794" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgr-dREvqDOYX7wFcJe4GlXnkHMznZwT1Y7ClKngvhjBGVP0MwyK_6svede3-x5Wg5HSKUIVU8csp5dJxVBwil81Iu6mlDYYAX6s7__Y6jYWtBj6e_zVVWU-lABSsgBTWfE8SMeziUW80/s320/Ethan+pics+D60-9%2Bmonths+047.jpg" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-family:arial;">Ethan and Nana looking at pics<br /></span><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4gwWNep62TOmD3K0_UGvdD5C3iJxRVImv5lwMtbdD39Jkavlt-tahm8aYYN_34qq3D0NvbhoNvwivXt6-cxtMYCFjHoi2Dhd2pss66d6K0ugB5F-MQgpHmkdWT1BvNZiMvZW8I3Cs1WY/s1600-h/Ethan+pics+D60-9%2Bmonths+030.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324268045862369506" style="WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4gwWNep62TOmD3K0_UGvdD5C3iJxRVImv5lwMtbdD39Jkavlt-tahm8aYYN_34qq3D0NvbhoNvwivXt6-cxtMYCFjHoi2Dhd2pss66d6K0ugB5F-MQgpHmkdWT1BvNZiMvZW8I3Cs1WY/s320/Ethan+pics+D60-9%2Bmonths+030.jpg" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-family:arial;">Ethan riding in his wagon that Big Ron bought for him after dinner.

Sorry!<br /></div></span><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">Ethan is doing well. We now have 5 teeth, but I am seeing the 6<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span> and 7<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">th</span> tooth under the gums. He has three on the bottom and his two knobby teeth have poked through on the tops. He's so funny looking, but just as cute as a button! When he is laughing all you can see is the bottom of his top teeth. He loves to blow spit bubbles and air through them. Its so funny!</span></div><div align="center"><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">As far as mobility, we are working on that. Ethan is rolling all over the place. When he is sitting up, he leans forward and moves one leg back but the other one gets stuck. He hasn't figured out how to get that other foot back yet. He does a nice split though! :) As far as walking, we aren't too far from that either. He can walk with his wagon and with someone propping him up, but for sure not by himself. I think his little chunky legs are strong enough to do so though. We have to work on balance..<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">hehe</span></span></div><div align="center"><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">We had a visit to the MD office yesterday. Ethan's allergies were acting up. I thought we had pink eye again, but it was just some bacteria built up. We got some good <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">meds</span> and he is doing much better now. Still a bit snotty nosed and congested, but in good spirits. He now weighs 27lbs! We have a well baby check up next week, some shots and another weight check.</span></div><div align="center"><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Slowly getting back to sleeping through the night. I think its a mixture of teething and separation anxiety. My book (and neighbor) tells me that this is the time when it gets really bad. Plus, I was still rocking him to sleep and my book tells me that's a big no no b/c he has to learn how to soothe himself and this is the age he needs to start to learn. SO, now we get him ready for bed, I read to him just enough to watch his eyelids shut and then put him in his crib. He'll kick and scream but for only 10 minutes or so. After that he sleeps. Its worked twice so we will continue to try this. We'll see how it goes. Oh, and we are doing the Motrin and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">orajel</span> too (thanks <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Somer</span>).</span></div><div align="center"><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Okay, I think that is all. Here are some updated pics....</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">Ethan has a mean mommy....I went to go pick him up from school one day and this is the outfit he was in. No, I didn't send him to school in this outfit. Apparently he tee <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">tee'd</span> all over his other outfit and this was the emergency outfit in his bag. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Obviously</span>, I had not update his emergency clothes in a while.

I will actually be shocked if anyone still looks at this. Y'all have probably given up on me. I'll try my best to be better about posting, I promise.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">Lets see what we have been doing for the past month. You might ask if Ethan is crawling and that answer is still no. I don't think he has any desire to crawl. On the flip side of that, he loves to walk! We will put him in his walker in the kitchen and he goes to town walking around and pulling open drawers and opening cabinets. Its a good thing Granny and Grandpa (Carlene and Ronnie) bought some cabinet closers and safety things. Once we get those put out, it will be a big help!</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">We have moved onto baby's 3rd foods and table foods. He kept gumming his 2nds and spitting it out, so I tried the 3rds and it works a bit better. Why can't I find anything green in the 3rds? Ethan totally doesn't like green beans with rice and I can't stand the smell of all that mixed food (ie, lasagna, or broccoli and carrots in cheese, totally smells like throw up imagine how it tastes). Therefore we have started some table foods, only the cool stuff though. We've eaten dinner rolls, sweet taters, ooh and Popsicles, he loved the Popsicles. I bought him some cubed peaches and he is so funny when he eats them. He'll put them in his mouth, squirt out all the juice and then the rest of the peach just kinda falls out of his mouth. I found three peach cubes stuck to his pants. I just laughed!</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">Teeth are popping out left and right! About a week and a half ago Ethan quit sleeping through the night. He would sleep upstairs for a few hours then wake up screaming. We would try to calm him down, but that didn't work. He began this pattern and ended up in bed with us. Yea, I know, I preach to others about letting their child sleep in bed with them and look at me. This seems to be the only way to calm him down! He'll come down here and snuggle up next to one of us and fall asleep. Throughout the night we'll wake up to him kicking us. Nice, I know, but you do what you got to. Anyway, I was feeding Ethan last night and discovered one cutting through on the bottom and was like "YES!!!! Sleep finally!" Boy was I wrong. He woke up screaming again. THEN, I was talking to his teacher at school today and she had concerns about him not eating as much and I said it was probably b/c of that tooth coming in. She said "oh yea, I see it up there on the top." I was like "What? I was talking about on the bottom!" And yep, we have two coming in right now. I can't wait to see what he looks like in a week!</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;">Okay, enough blabbing.

He loves to stand up and bounce around. He is waving his eyes in the air like he is going to fly away. We have taught him to give us kisses, although he doesn't do it every time, but when we ask for one he opens his mouth and open mouth slobbers on your cheek. Its so funny! </span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#666666;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#666666;">He is almost 26 pounds says the MD. We have had both flu shots and currently have a cold. But we are taking good care of him! His next well baby check up isn't until April. They say by the age of 1 year the baby should have tripled their birth weight. I don't think we have anything to worry about, we're a bit ahead of schedule.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#666666;"><br /></span></div><span style="color:#666666;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300292192257357986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVahT8cJx0VQSLF4u0mhkGrS-LazuKzVHv0ApyDLjPakR5SF9wD2od1BZQ_Pdt2Ue3RDBHeqLvo1ys8XAfzhnJg1HGiUcm0-3VSIaumBu_ZRqfSD2Tr8Y0LoCP_e_oPKZqweb9hs-WsjE/s200/Ethan+pics+073.jpg" border="0" /><br /></span><div align="center"><span style="color:#666666;">Ethan had his first hair cut.

What a great time we had! Well, it didn't start out so great. Ethan came down with his first illness. He had pink</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> eye in both eyes and a slight right ear infection. He did not feel good at all and we were so happy on day two of antibiotics. You could tell a huge difference once we got the gunk under control.<br /><br />Our first stop to celebrate the season was down on the plains. We traveled to AU to be with my family. Ethan did good traveling, slept the entire way! It was nice to see the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">fam</span> and spend time with them. As you can tell by the pic above, </span><span style="font-family:arial;">Ethan had a b</span><span style="font-family:arial;">ig time o</span><span style="font-family:arial;">pening presents and made a new best friend in the process. He spent time talking, blowing <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">raspberries</span>, jumping up and down, and playing with his toys. Everyone enjoyed seeing Big Boy Ethan w</span><span style="font-family:arial;">hile we were</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> there. Maw maw had a time with him. I got so <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">tickled</span> b/c I think Ethan and m</span><span style="font-family:arial;">aw maw look alike.

Its hard. It has actually been real nice for me b/c I got to spend time with Ethan and Nick, do things around the house, try to get organized. I have worked maybe a week out of the past three weeks due to pink eye, ear infection, taking time to travel and then the boss lady forcing me to take off (everyone in the dept is required to do the same), not to mention the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">possibility</span> of me being sent home tomorrow b/c of pink eye. That sure is a way to start off the week! We'll see what the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">md</span> says in the am. In the mean time we are anticipating Ethan to be crawling soon and his first tooth to pop out any minute. He is just drooling up a storm and teething so bad! He can sit up by himself really well, but he likes to stand up rather than sit. I am thinking he might actually skip crawling and go straight to walking. I am probably wrong, but we'll see. He just loves to stand and bounce around! Nick and I are in a race to see if he says mama first or <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">dada</span>. We got some time to see though. I'll keep you posted!<br /><br />Happy New Year to All!!!!<br /></span></div>The Wade Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16238653157670595308noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-403116969080321956.post-2922748181241432952008-12-19T22:04:00.005-06:002008-12-19T22:37:13.497-06:00So Much Fun...<div><div><span style="color:#006600;">Ethan is so much fun these days! I can't believe that he is 6 months old. I thought this period was so far away when Ethan was born and now its here...holy cow! Ethan is rolling all over the place, talking, sticking his butt in the air, standing (of course with our help), laughing (at everything), eating solid foods (we like pears, apples, carrots, sweet potatoes, and green beans we are warming up to), reaching for everything, etc, etc....</span></div><div><span style="color:#006600;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#006600;">Last week we had our first real sickness. Ethan had pink eye in both eyes along with a slight ear infection in his ear. We went to the MD and are doing much better now! Definitely feels better. Just in time too, Christmas is almost here!!!! When we were at the MD Ethan got weighed...drum roll please...Big boy Ethan weighs 23 lbs!

Now I can play that Martina McBride Christmas CD that has found residency in my CD player in the car for the past two years. I love Christmas!</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#006600;"><br /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#006600;">But first came Thanksgiving. We had a really good Thanksgiving. The only bad thing was it was so short. I had to work on Friday, so that cut family time short. We went to Jasper on Thursday all day. Had a great visit with everyone! We discovered that Ethan LOVES to jump around! Malea and Dewayne had a "sit and go nowhere" station that bounced. Ethan discovered that and went to town. It was so funny! So now we have a jungle jumperoo in the den that Ethan bounces around in. He loves it. He just laughs and bounces for about 20 minutes and then he slowly fades off to nappy town. (That means he goes to sleep) When I was at work on Friday, I talked to Nick a time or two during the day. You could hear Ethan in the background growling and babbling and having a good ole time. Now that he has gotten over his sickness (thank the good Lord above that we made it through that) he just talks, growls, laughs, whines, etc. His personality is showing more and more.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#006600;"><br /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#006600;">We got to visit with Megan and Thomas the weekend before Thanksgiving. It was so good to see them! I miss you guys! I'm glad that they were able to stop on through. Funny Fact...Megan is going to kill me for this one....she sent me a text message the next day telling me her arm was sore from holding Ethan. Hehehehe.....Just had to throw that one in.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#006600;"><br /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#006600;">Ethan's development is moving right along! I can't believe that he is growing so fast! For someone who loves schedules (me) having an infant proves that schedules don't exist. Ethan is now eating cereal/fruit three times a day. We have had success with apples, pears and peaches. Because I have been mixing them in with cereals, his formula feedings have spread out and decreased. He loves to eat though! I think next we will try some veggies.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#006600;"><br /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#006600;">He is definitely teething. Nothing has cut the gums, but it is so funny to watch Ethan. No matter what he can get his hands on it goes straight into his mouth. When we have him bundled in a blanket or with a bib he stuffs half of it in his mouth. When we catch him doing that he stops, stares at us to see what our facial expressions are (we are laughing out loud) and then he laughs. Its so cute!</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#006600;"><br /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#006600;">He has mastered the rolling from front to back, almost has back to front and almost has sitting up by himself. See the video/pics. He is a little tripod when he sits up. Then when he falls, he laughs. I think he likes the journey down to the floor.</span></div><div><span style="color:#006600;"><br /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#006600;">Okay, I think that is all. Time for Christmas decorations and songs. I love this time of year!<br /></span><br /><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxFyonOuzxh1oysHr8I8Vl_zVf4LpsvPUp8cK9Z1WsfsDUKZsDYEWjaXKxIqWYmCuZ2_8T899lgnNg3KZoNoA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><p align="center"> </p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274679237170902066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm6_6WE_Q4Tsot5jml7j8O81rhzYSLf1eZ2UhuW380WQ6L3CO2qYUsQYN-e1PfDozdr7_u22Z9Mlr7Zid-cHmvA5EkAEUayKClvmEuk-a8vjKbKfYqqHXMjZ7ByJy9M9dkXyngC6ep_W4/s320/DSC00284.JPG" border="0" /></div></div></div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274679136753206418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnHUjuJTerMVFs7-D4kPun8C3oRYmQd0-7ie9mGr3i071N6DANdgnD5clHgEYlBmgCGIRYg9nUNm6aMSzupX26NgMGmDBYYAGDibMJMWdhqh0rZhPg-NHlb9e6s_R3BCdSS-aZktaJTzw/s320/DSC00269.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274679225477528290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieLAuTtsxfaWm-3XqHnPeT0tAtl755r523gobmoV8ui_sLoJN4QLoovCwvPBmD0iTbcM-8_OxsUUlNcRrS1mO6-aNrqau4CwjA31wcM2auJvd-HkFw-Y_1gAAHvPdFAOY3JA60aaKbwqA/s320/DSC00279.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274679214186662354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0z07EEqVOQTaLF5p5x__XBeHRhETWtSIlJ3oCY_wCoglVwCvMb_ol73PI-qruJAQ3qxLZTrSATu6KWMMLElnKKemzzN-UY1_fNmUS5_dneYBzE_YdOhkAwG4SSWbRZa0R3u12UuORgmo/s320/DSC00272.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274679198066575138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb4R1IRTaWxFJm-8L2KiIsCMg50GcxPLlDnnilSzDLomwpMX-wbVgiy4OycTVSn5L6fWhj1FAUwWtzbS_ClzPZYnsP457KzAeMUDh1hzzh7NQTCtqlIbb1Ruh6TbrCneCigS-yqGS4slY/s320/DSC00283.JPG" border="0" />The Wade Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16238653157670595308noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-403116969080321956.post-51128315834637077662008-11-14T16:05:00.001-06:002008-11-15T23:58:20.271-06:00TGIFAll I can say is thank the good Lord its Friday! This week has been terrible and I am just glad its over. Where do I even begin?<br /><br />I ran out of the formula we were using and had to use a different formula. I thought this wasn’t going to be a problem and used it for about 2 days (until it ran out).<br />We started our new daycare teacher on Monday. It was a nightmare. Leaving Ethan on Monday was harder to do than the first day of daycare. When I dropped him off, everything I was worried about happened. First off, I told his teacher that he was only 4 ½ months old. The look on her face was frightening. I don’t think she realized how young he really was. Then I told her that I didn’t want him on the ground while the other babies were down there b/c I was afraid that they would try to pull themselves up using Ethan, swat at him, get in his face, etc. and Ethan had no way to defend himself. So, I put him in the “stand and go nowhere” thing…which is the only activity center in the room…and the first thing that happened was the 12 month old…yes, 1 year old in his class…crawled over to him…yea, that too…pulled herself up and swatted a sock in his face. After Ethan was quickly pulled away from the girl, it took everything I had not to cry in his room. I went straight to the director’s office and cried. I voiced my concerns and she basically told me the same thing that the other lady told me. Wasn’t comforting, wasn’t helpful, in fact, I began to look at other daycares. Then later that day I went back to go check on him and asked the teacher how his first feeding was and she said “he took the bottle well”. I was like good, now what about the cereal? Her response was “Oh, he gets cereal too?” It’s written down right behind her and I pointed that out. Mommy is not a happy camper. By the time I pick him up, he has developed a snotty nose, cough, sneezing and was breaking out on his face. OH NO, one of those other snotty nosed kids has given Ethan something. Ethan didn’t sleep through the night. All in all wasn’t a good day. By Wednesday I had calmed down a bit until I went to go check on him during the day and found him asleep in his teacher’s arms with a bottle stuck in his mouth. Ethan was definitely asleep too, it was obvious, he was snoring. That didn’t sit well with me. When I left, I stopped to talk to another mom whose child is in the same class and informed me of the flyers we had been getting at school. The first one was ANOTHER price increase of tuition and the other one was…drum roll please…the teacher was moving out of this classroom and another (whom we LOVE) is coming to take over. I cannot tell you how excited I was, and am, to hear that news. A prayer was answered, I felt so relieved. I could have hugged her when I found out. So, we are excited about next week when the new teacher starts. We look forward to it! :)<br /><br />We switched back to his other formula. The snots are clearing up and so is his cough. Apparently he had an allergic reaction to the other formula. He still is congested a bit, but much better.<br /><br />So, now we are glad it’s Friday and we can relax this weekend and watch some AU foosball.

Sorry I have been slacking. <br /><br />Last week was slightly difficult. Ethan caught his first stomach bug. We thought at first it was the almost full jar of applesauce that he ate on Saturday, but the runny diapers lasted until about Wednesday. With that being said, he (and mom and dad) stayed home from Monday until Wednesday, the MD's office received phone call after phone call from yours truly. I was so afraid that he would get dehydrated and have to go into the hospital or something like that. I guess I was expecting the worse. Luckily, Thursday, back at day care, was back on schedule and much better, a more normal day. He ate his cereal, drank his bottles, pooped a more solid poop and kept on smiling. I was so happy on Thursday. Friday was a different question...<br /><br />While we were at home on Tuesday, I received a call from the day care. The director told me that starting on Monday, Ethan will be moving up to the next classroom. At first I was okay with it, but then I started to think about it. The next classroom up had babies that were sitting up on their own, crawling, pulling up on things. I wasn't too happy about it come Thursday. So I called the director, left a message to call me and she never did. I dropped Ethan off on Friday and found out that the director is out until next Tuesday. So, I talked to his current teacher, Ms. Romona (whom we have grown to love and trust). She assured me that Ethan was ready to move to the next room, that he would be okay, and she would tell that teacher how his routine is. I also talked to the next in line since the director was out. She didn't do anything but make me mad. She shouldn't hold that position. She kept referring to me being a first time mom (first time or third time, a mom is going to worry about her 4 month old in the same room with 6+ mos who are pulling on him and tugging on him and making sure he still gets the attention he needs and doesn't sleep all day), other pregnant moms who need to get back to work (not my problem, there's something called a waiting list that I had to wait on and so should they. The day care shouldn't move babies into rooms they aren't ready for), then she kept telling me to pray about it over the weekend (my praying habits are none of her concerns nor does she need to push religion on a complete stranger...a huge pet-peeve of mine). I was visibly ill with her and had to get out of the conversation quick. Well, bottom line is that he is still moving and the class that he is moving to will have the same age babies as he by December. The older babies will be moving out too. We'll see how it goes and complain as needed. :)<br /><br />Nick and I had a date night tonight. Grandaddy (Ronnie), Granny (Carlene), and Great-Grandmother (Nick's Grandmother) came up here to visit with Ethan while Nick and I went out. Big thanks to them. We had a great time! It was much needed.<br /><br />In other news, Ethan is now reaching for things, grabbing things, rolling from front to back, trying to get the back to front, recognizes familiar faces and greets them with smiles, playing peek-a-boo, we are working on sitting up by ourself, and soon we will be starting on fruits and veggies. He is growing so fast. This is so much fun!!!!The Wade Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16238653157670595308noreply@blogger.com1
