Little Family Update

Here is a little family update… well, mostly Ethan update.

Happy Valentines Day! Ethan brings us closer together.

He LOVES the camera. He’s very entertained by all of the buttons and dials and as you can see, he tries to grab it every time it gets close to him. Maybe he’ll pick up photography one day. He’s already been to more weddings, in his 5 months (only one week till he turns 6 months!), than most people go to in a lifetime.

Sarah went shopping at the State Fair Grounds Kids Exchange and bought enough clothes for the remainder of the year. We can’t wait for him to fit some of the outfits.

Thank you to Sarah’s Godmother, Marti, for the nice, warm sleeper below – Ethan is still manly wearing pink!

A boy this busy needs a lot of food… he loves eating. Fruit is definitely his favorite and seems to put up with most vegetables.

Bath Time! He used to scream bloody murder when he took baths. Now, he LOVES it. He splishes and splashes the entire time and has a blast doing it.

The first of many basketball things!

It’s nice having warmer weather to get out and go for a nice evening walk. Ethan thoroughly enjoys being outside. This was his first real stroll in the Bob stroller. Usually we carry him in our Bjorn baby carrier on our chest.

More of Us…

So many things change once you have a child. And nearly all for the better.

One of the things we didn’t account for was, when you have a baby, everyone approaches you with a smile. Everyone is happy for that moment when you first see them, no matter how they may feel. Its a wonderful thing! People in public smile as they pass by you when they would have otherwise not even have noticed you. Life just seems sweeter when you are with your child.

Ethan is really starting to get vocal about nearly everything. He has things he absolutely love and hates.

Loves:

  • Mom and Dad
  • The Outdoors
  • Going for walks
  • iTunes visualizer
  • The vacuum (it calms him)
  • Changing outfits and/or diapers
  • Being on his feet
  • His hands and fingers

Hates:

  • Sitting
  • His reflux issues
  • The car seat
  • Dad blowing his nose
  • Water; or more specifically, a bath
  • Falling asleep

We still can decide who he looks like more. I don’t see either of us in him and think he has his own look. Maybe this will change as he starts to grow. People who meet him give us a wide array of opinions about who they think he looks like. A lot of the time they mention someone else in the family.

All I know, is he is so freakin’ cute.

He comes with us to all of our weddings and photo shoots and definitely loves the attention from all of the different people. But as we all know, it’s an exhausting job!

This was his first time out in the snow. He didn’t seem to mind it much, he just loves being outside.

Baby Ava | Durham, NC Portraits

Chelsea and Kevin are two of Sarah’s previous students from Southern High School who graduated last year. Their daughter, Ava, turned 1 year old this month and were looking for some family portraits to celebrate the occasion. We met at Duke Gardens where Ava led the way. She is full of personality, and always wanted to walk in-between photo locations. Chelsea and Kevin are very easy to talk with and Ava did a great job of posing for the camera, though she needed a raisins break about halfway through the shoot. We are very thankful that Chelsea and Kevin allowed us to be a part of this milestone.
