I’m the first to admit it, I’m a major sucker for Christmas. I love everything about it: the sounds, the smells, the lights, the time with family and friends, being sappy. Everything except for Christmas shopping anyway. Even though we are in Atlanta for most of the holiday I convinced James that we should have a Christmas tree and put up decorations. Well, I put up decorations, but he complimented me on it….so that’s fine, I’ll take it.
Ethan had his 4 month appointment last week. He weighed 13 lbs 6 oz. Doc said he was in the 50th percentile for his height and head circumference, and 25th percentile for weight. So he’s a small guy, but he was almost 4 weeks early and James and I were both small kids. Nothing to worry about. That said, he is now reaching out and grabbing at everything in front of him – especially my hands and my face. He smiles and laughs all the time now. He is sitting up very well supported and will stay sitting for a little bit unsupported too.
We are all really looking forward to getting back to Atlanta to see all of you and for you to see how big Ethan has gotten!! Here are some pics and you can see more month 5 pics here.
Some of you have asked to see pics of the house. I took a few today. The house wasn’t clean, so forgive the mess. These are pics of the main floor and Ethan’s nursery. I didn’t take any of our room or the basement since those are still works in progress.

Happy Holidays
