The Kids
Pics of the Day ~ Ethan’s First Bath ~
Becca had her last appointment with the goddess of pediatric eye specilaists 
This specialist was amazing, not only did she rock working with Becca, she was kind, caring and helped us avoid eye surgery! Becca’s eyes continue to respond to the eye therapy (aka her glasses). She utilizes the bi-focals the way they are intended and her eyes are straight while she wears the glasses. The doctor gave us some names of eye specialists in New Mexico so we can continue her treatment and eye care there.
Becca has officially graduated to size 4 clothes! GASP! She is too long for 3T & even 4T! Besides, in pants she gets awful plumber’s crack since she has no butt and wears panties rather than diapers. Oh … What’s up the Daisy Dukes for shorts for girls? I mean sure the kid has great legs but they are beat to heck since she plays hard core. So I have resorted to buying her boys shorts, which look incredibly cute as skater shorts on her 
As for Ethan … why do they grow and change so fast? The babe is changing before my eyes
and all I want to do is press the pause button. He face is slowly changing from that newborn look to baby look and he is putting on the pounds! Sleepers are slowly being placed in the outgrown bin! Ethan is starting to make eye contact and I swear he smiled at me yesterday (it could have been gas but darn it I want my moment!) Everyday he is more aware and awake. He sleeps like a champ most nights, only needing snuggles for a while so he does not have a tummy ache after chowing down. Tomorrow will be three weeks since he was born … that leaves me in awe. Time is going by much too quickly!
Ok so you have all tempted me into checking out Facebook. Darn it is so addicting and I am hooking up with people from all over! At first I thought I would be a looser on there with like my husband’s friends and a few others, but slowly I am gathering up some crew! I am such a geek! So if you wanna hook up on Facebook, I am so there ~*wink*~
What great pictures. Look how precious he looks in that tubby!!!
SO happy for Becca’s eyes…Glad to see her glasses are working.
I may just have to check out facebook…been hearing more and more about it…
We have trouble with pants too. Nate is still in size 3, length is ok but the waste, ha! he has on bum either so they just fall right down to his knees. Momma has to do some altering in the waste on all of them. But figure, he has a size 4 Lightning McQueen pjs that fit like a charm!
Oh my, I know about growing out of sleepers. I have a big Toys R us bag of Emma’s clothes already that are too small. I’ll have to send you some more of Nate’s clothes, but I’ll wait till you move.
Plumber’s crack?! Is that the same as builder’s bum?! LOL! My niece is the same. Not an ounce of fat but really long legs!
3 weeks old and you’re wearing lipstick??? Legend!!!
Yep, we get builder’s crack here too!
My little girl has the worst case of plumbers bum ever, nothing ever fits right (Gynboree is the best). Oh well she’ll have to live with it.
I have added you to my facebook!
It is good to hear that Becca`s eye therapy is working and I hope you find another fab doctor in New Mexico!
It is amazing how fast they grow! I can’t believe 3 wks already!
Great news on Becca’s eye appt - whoo hoo!
I resisted facebook for a long time, and finally gave in because someone who was trying to contact me forever asked me to. Now I think it’s not actually that bad. At least it’s not MySpace!
Ethan’s gorgeous! I hate how fast it goes. It’s not fair.
And dude, you just outed your real last name.
OMG! He is absolutely beautiful!! Congrats to you guys! Wow, I need to catch up mor eoften. He’ll be growing up fast too
Facebook is addicting! Ethan is adorable.
What beautiful children you have. You look great! Thank you for kind thoughts. I’m better now.
Look at those little feet and toes…I love baby toes! And glasses are amazing! They’ve prevented Travis having to have surgery as well. I hope you are able to find another doctor you like in New Mexico!
I just love reading your blog! Ethan is looks like he is getting bigger by the day!
Wow 3 weeks already! Time flies when your having fuh eh? I hate when my dryer shrinks the kids clothes
one day I will admit they are growing but I’m reluctant.
Wow Chelle, you’ve done so much in 3 weeks! I don’t think I even left the house for the first 3 weeks.
Enjoy your traveling adventures, Canada is not going anywhere.
Think of all the wonderful stories you will have to tell your grandchildren about all the cool places you lived when you were young.
Thanks for the email about the glasses, I’m so hoping that when we have to go and buy a pair for Matt they will have a sporty break proof pair that he will think looks really cool and will want to wear them all the time.
I just today realized that I have an almost six year old. Six! I looked at her like a whole new kid, it was amazing and weird all at once.
I hate the short shorts! Alice is tall and wearing size six but she is skinny so they fall down without a belt. And I will say I really don’t like the super long shorts for boys either - Jake can’t run in them unless he hikes them up, which is funny, but really should it have to be that way? LOL
Oh and I’m not on facebook but I am on myspace!
plumber’s crack LOL that is just too funny…
