1 Year Pictures

Well, we got Ethan's 1 year pictures back from JCPenney today and I have to say they are adorable BUT I'm upset that they cost so damn much and I feel like we didn't even get that much!  Everyone is getting a 5 x 7 but you'll have to be patient with us as we are in the process of MOVING and I have no idea where the stamps, envelopes, etc etc etc are.  Besides, I'd rather give them in person. 

It is starting to hit me that we are moving because I got a job and now I have some serious work to do in order to be successful at this job.  Every summer, I totally get out of teacher mode and forget what life was even like when I was teaching all those months ago.  I'm nervous but I am sure I will do just fine (I hope).

Breaking News!

Jeremy, Ethan and I are moving to Salisbury, MA during the first week of August!  I accepted a position with Andover Public Schools in MA and our house is already rented, my mom and Lauryn found us a place to live, I've filled out all the necessary paperwork, so off we gooooooooooooooooo!

My Dadd-o and Patty are flying down on August 2nd to help us move (thanks Dad!) and help drive the Budget truck to our new home (which is LESS THAN TWO MILES FROM THE BEACH!!!!!!!!!!!)

Life is so stinkin good right now!  Stressful of course, but super exciting and enjoyable.

Reading a Book

Ethan found my copy of 'Lord of the Flies' and took it and started to read it under the kitchen table.  He's so awesome!

Stress........

.............is going to kill me!  Ahhhhh! 

In happier news, Ethan had his 1 year well baby check-up today and he is 21 lbs 11 oz, 29 inches tall, and has a head circumference 47.5.  He is a little behind in some areas but our doctor said it most likely isn't a big deal since Ethan has been through so much in one year.  The doctor was pleased to see Ethan talking, laughing, smiling and jumping!  He usually only sees him when he is very ill! 

I like to minimize Ethan's health issues over the past year but whenever I see the doctor he reminds me that Ethan was very sick, many times and that he is so relieved that Ethan is happy and healthy now.  He is resistant to put him on whole milk and take him off the AR formula because of his history with severe issues with reflux.  He said we are going to give him whole milk for lunch for a week and then take it from there and see how it goes.  Ethan will be on prevacid until he can prove to the doctor that he can handle whole milk without refluxing too bad. 

So overall, Ethan's health is great!  I try not to worry too much but I guess that what mommy's are supposed to do.......worry even though they probably don't need to.

Later gators!
