Favorite Sleeping Position

Ethan likes to position his blanket over his head before he goes to sleep.  He does this instead of sucking his fingers or thumb (Don't mind the unmatched outfit.....he spits up ALL the time,  so I am always grabbing any clean clothes I can!).

The only major changes this past month has been that Ethan nurses only 4 times a day (8am, 12:30, 4:30, & 8:30pm) and eats baby food 3 times a day.  He is a very picky eater.  If he loves something he will open his mouth wide and if he hates something, he will not open his mouth unless I get a little in and then he will growl at me and spit it in my face.  He loves bananas, apples, pears, prunes, and sweet potatoes.  He hates green veggies and rice cereal (unless it is in a jar with fruit from the store).

Amber's 7th Birthday

Grandma Mattern's Birthday: Part 2

Ella dressed up as a bride and Jackson as a Jamaican.

Grandma Mattern's Birthday: Part 1

On Friday, we celebrated my mom's birthday.  Ella, Jackson, and I made a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. We all bought her a new light for her dinning room and Todd and Brian installed it for her.  We had a fun time celebrating!

Date with the Ryans

We had a fun date night at Biaggis Restaurant with the Ryans a while back.  We forgot our camera, so you can click here to view the pictures on their blog.

Cooper

A couple of weeks ago, Hamilton's Funeral Home delivered this lawn ornament to us to remember Cooper by.  This March 22nd, Cooper would have been one year old.  We thank God for Cooper's short little life and for Hamilton's Funeral Home for their thoughtful gift.

Get Together

We had a fun time getting together with the couples in our old bible study since the Putneys were back in town.  We have 14 1/2 kids between all of us!

Ethan & the Baby Stroller

Ethan is getting a little too big for the baby stroller, but the kids are still having fun pushing him around.

Ella & Gymnastics

Ella started gymnastics a few weeks ago at Triad and loves it!  I asked her what her favorite part was and she told me she liked everything the best.
