6 weeks old!

Ethan is 6 weeks old! It's hard to believe! He has grown and changed so much that I had to pack away all of his newborn clothes last week. But some things have stayed the same - his eating routine. He's still up every 2 hours to eat at night. And like Grandma Gloria says, he is still our little "dinosaur" because he is a very noisy little guy. He makes sounds all day and night! But he is very alert and likes activity time. Mommy just wishes he liked sleep time too! :-)

Here are some videos of activity time!

Cousin Time

Ethan loved spending time with his auntie Cherise and cousins Trevor and Jadin this week! Cherise and I also shared some birthday cake.

First Christmas!

Ethan enjoyed his first Christmas with the Norby family in Grenora, N.D. He loved meeting his granparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends, and he had great fun staring at the Christmas tree! Before we left the cities, we were the "holy family" at our church. Ethan was a great baby Jesus! Here are some pictures and videos.

Ethan's First 3 Weeks

Ethan is 3 weeks old today and has already been a very busy boy! He was 7 lbs., 12 oz. (20.5 inches) when he was born, and we brought him home at 7 lbs., 4 oz. Now he is well over 9 lbs. and is very alert. When he was 6 days old, he had a professional photo shoot, and he generally has daily photo shoots with mom. ;-) Grandma came to visit the weekend after he was born and spent 2 weeks helping out, snuggling with the little man, and giving mom some much needed rest. He still has his days and nights a bit mixed up, but we love every minute with him. He is such a blessing!
