Ethan @ 9 Weeks

Hi Everyone!

It's official - time speeds up exponentially when you become a parent. Either that or the broken sleep screws with your mind! Ethan is 9 weeks tomorrow. It seems like a lifetime ago that he was cooking in my tummy. Now he's a regular explorer of the world. And how does an infant do this, you ask? Well that's easy. When he gets bored, he cries and Mummy dutifully picks him up. Then to get Mummy to move to a different part of the house, he just cries again and off she goes, doing her best to settle his fussing!

Turns out Ethan is a great fan of the assortment of paintings, artwork & Tibetan thangkas (paintings of Buddhas) strewn about our house. He can happily gaze away, absorbing the intricate details while I try not to break a sweat, holding him up as he does so! Life on baby-time is hectic. There are always surprises - for example, the Poo-Explosions that somehow manage to leak out from both leg-holes & the back of the nappy. Fun times... For once, I escaped the avalanch of poo. It just resulted in a lot of laundry & a rather contented baby.

Ethan Out & About with Mum

My favourite times are undoubtedly the weekends, not just because Craig is home to help me with Ethan, but mostly because we can hang out as a family. I enjoy watching Craig and Ethan hang together. There are plenty of laughs as Ethan pulls a funny face or cracks his trademark smile.  I know that as Ethan gets older, things are only going to get more fun and no doubt, there will be new challenges to face as well! But yes, it is all worth it.
