Professional Pictures

Here are Ethan's professional 1st birthday pictures! https://www.thesmilestation.com/home.asp?AC=LTTT0919102151TAR Just go to that link and type my name in the customer name box. I got four copies of a lot of them so tell me what your favorites are and I will do my best to get you a copy! Also, don't forget you can download these on to your computer and use them as a desktop or something. Up at the top there should be a red box that says download, click that and then click whatever picture you want and save the file. And don't forget to read the post below as well for pictures.

Yes, the time has come!

Finally, an update! My apologies! I don't have a Disney update cause that just isn't possible. I can only upload like 5 pictures per post so it would take like 300 posts. Haha. I will get you a link for some of the pictures though. http://www2.snapfish.com/share/p=375131250217827819/l=1679833020/g=153541922/cobrandOid=1000361/otsc=SYE/otsi=SALB You will have to create an account, over to the right it says "Wait! I don't have a Snapfish account", click that and make one real quick and you get 20 free prints automatically and can print some of Ethan's pictures off for yourself if you want. On to more important topics though, Ethan is going to be a year old in less than 12 hours! It's unbelievable. I have a slideshow of Ethan from birth until now just to commemorate how special he is! I hope you all enjoy it! http://www2.snapfish.com/mmsplay/slideShowOid=156415020/ownerid=153541922/controllerType=mms/preview=true/ I hope you can all view it fine! If not, let me know! And Happy Early Birthday to Ethan! Everyone celebrate at 8:06 AM!

Can you believe it?!

Ethan is now walking as you can see in the second video, in the first video you can see Ethan dusting. In Ethan's pictures, he's talking to Elmo in his car, filling his car up with gas, rockin' it out with his mohawk, attacking me, and making a mess. Yay! He has four teeth up top that have broke through and still only two on the bottom. And he is now 10 months old. Goodness, almost a year old already. He's getting really good at walking so I will have to get an even newer video but everytime I break out the camera, he stops of course. But for now, ya'll will have to enjoy one of the first videos I got of him walking.

There's A First For Everything!

Sorry, it's been a while but luckily for you, that means tons of pictures AND a video! Starting in order.
1) We have Ethan techno-ing, yea, he's awesome like that.
2) Ethan in his 30th Anniversary Edition Cozy Coupe, he would like to thank Great Groovy Granny for that. Yes, he's very happy in that as you can see. He likes to climb out the window like a race car driver.
3)&4) Ethan found out how to open the DVD cabinet. My OCD for cleanliness is slowly being lost unwillingly.
5)&6) Ethan fell in the toy box again. I can't believe he could even fit with the multitude of toys in there but he did.
7)8)&9) Ethan in the biggest bath tub ever, A.K.A. Big pool time! Thank you Great Groovy Granny for that as well. We really do appreciate it. There's nothing like a nice swim on a hot day. If those days would ever come and stay.
And the video you will all be seeing is Ethan walking using his walker toy. Definitely the coolest thing ever, he's a pro at it now. Walking solo in the near future? Keep checking back to find out! Enjoy and take care everyone!

Happy 9 Months Ethan!

Happy 9 months birthday to Ethan! It's hard to believe he's 3 month's shy of a year. Wow. Makes me want to cry, but they will grow up as you all know. :( Anyways, narration of pictures. (1) Ethan fell asleep in the most uncomfortable position ever and rested his head in my armpit, haha, thank God for good deodorant. (2) Ethan playing in the floor with Mommy's clean bedsheets. (3) Mac & Cheese + Mashed Potatoes + Puffs + Salisbury Steak = A mess. It doesn't look so bad in the picture but trust me, it was bad. He's gonna learn to feed himself in a clean manner one of these days. Well, he's a man so I actually don't know if he will ever not be messy. Haha, but we will have hope. (4 and 5) Ethan standing all by himself with his teething ring. He can do that for a loooooonnnggg time now, yea, that long. (6) Got milk? He somehow managed to get that mustache all by himself and oddly, I think it resembles Hitler's mustache. Kinda scary. But hey, Hitler had to drink his milk too. (7) Ethan in his new car seat! Yea, he looks pretty hot in it. It no longer looks that new and clean but that's okay.
And now to update you all on his stats from his checkup today! He now stands at 28 1/8 inches tall, yes, every 8th counts. He weighs 20 pounds and 13 ounces and most importantly of course, his head's circumference is 18 5/8 inches. He's right on track with his growing and all. As you all know he had his two bottom teeth and is now getting teeth up top. Not one, not two, not three, but FOUR! So needless to say, he's a grouchy boy right now and his gums are swollen so he's probably in excruciating pain. Poor bugger. The doctor said he looked great though, he didn't have to get shots but he did get a finger prick and didn't like not being to stick his hand in his mouth while the nurse tried to get a blood sample and he later spread his blood all over me and himself because he didn't want to keep his band-aid on. So that was fun. Also, if any of my friends read this, I want to congratulate Mama Emily on being pregnant with two twins now, Andrea Daniels, and Leanne for being pregnant! Yay and good luck! And to everyone else, I hope you enjoyed this novel of an update and take care!

Spring Fun!

Just a couple of pictures of Ethan and some videos of him playing in a pool for the first time and playing piano. Yay! Enjoy!

March of Dimes!

I don't know if anyone will view this before Saturday but if you do, I would greatly appreciate if you considered donating to March of Dimes if you haven't already. And for those of you who have donated to me, thank you so much! I really really appreciate it! The link to my site is http://www.marchforbabies.org/personal_page.asp?w=31021349&u=cmilligan so check it out and donate even a dollar if you can. Ethan will be going with me to March of Dimes again this year, only this time, not in my belly. Yay! I will get pictures and you will all get a update soon, so don't worry! Take care!

Ethan on Easter!

I'm finally uploading his Easter video. I also have more pictures from his 35 weeks. From now on though, I will only be doing a picture monthly so the changes will be even more dramatic. I will still of course probably have new pictures every week to update you all with. So take care and enjoy! And Mamaw Mary, this video would be best watched with sound so try to find a computer with sound to view it with!

Video time! Yay!

So I've got a couple of videos (I will have to post the other later because the first one is taking incredibly long already) and two posts worth of pictures for you all so don't forget to check out the last two posts before this one! Ethan is 8 months old now! Woo! No more new teeth still but lots of drool. He had a great Easter as you can see. We went to Georgia's Largest Easter Egg Hunt and it was super fun! He drove around in his car some. We also went to an Easter Egg Hunt at the Harley dealer which are the photos under this post. He loved the sound of a Harley and is looking into getting a bike already. Haha. Kidding. Sorry my updates haven't been consistent but Ethan's sleep hasn't exactly been consistent either so you see the only time I can find the time to do this is at 2:30 in the morning. Let's hope that gets better. I will try to update later this evening with his 35 week picture. No promises though. Enjoy all the pictures and videos though. And sadly, this is still not all of them but I don't want to flood everyone with pictures. I will try to upload all of his pics to a photo site so it will be more convenient for those who want to print.

And more pictures!

Happy Belated Easter! I know, I'm always late.

33 Weeks and then some!

Wow. So lots of stuff for all of you. And there's even more pictures all from the same night. He was having an adventurous night. But I won't post every single picture or else Auntie Andrea will be paying a million dollars to print them all off. Haha. So you see he already likes to get into everything but he looks cute while doing it! He also started standing up with no support for like ten seconds and then falls on his butt. It's crazy, I don't know how he does it but you can tell he's proud of himself for doing it. I can't exactly get a video or picture of it though cause I'm too busy being nervous and making sure he doesn't fall while he does it. I hope the videos work for everyone, I'll try to start posting some more often to give you a better image of his milestones and what not. I remember when he didn't know what to do with toys and now he bangs them together and has all sorts of fun with them. It's amazing. Well take care and enjoy until next Thursday everyone. He'll be 8 months in less than two weeks!

Can't touch this!

Just showing off some of Ethan's dance moves. Yea, he got the mad skill from his mom of course. Enjoy!

Sorry for any inconveniences.

Yes, this page is now private due to creepy stalkers so I apologize it now takes a few more minutes to access but I hope it's worth it for you all. I know it's been over a month since we've updated and we now have a new camera so count on your weekly updates! Yay! So in case I didn't mention this in prior posts and just to refresh your memories, Ethan is now crawling, sprouting two teeth (and yes, they are very VERY sharp), he's standing himself up, he say's "mama" a lot and acts like he knows I am his mama, let's hope. He gives hugs, sings/talks/babbles all the time, gets into EVERYTHING, and I mean every single thing. He knows the word "no" even though he doesn't listen to it. He smiles and goes right back to doing what he isn't supposed to and it's hard to not laugh but I'm trying very hard to discipline him early on so he doesn't turn out to be a brat. Getting his weekly pictures is becoming quite a task now (as you can see, there are 2 takes for week 28, they are both cute so I couldn't choose) that he can't sit still so we might have to change our location or something soon. But I do of course have pictures of the past few weeks, I missed week 30, my apologies. And I have some from when we saw Kat Von D, not any of us with her cause my camera broke in that moment. Just my luck but it's okay. Still got up close pictures! The blonde one is her sister in the pictures and she is of course the gorgeous one with all the tattoos and dark hair for those of you who don't know. And we have pictures of Ethan from when it snowed, he wasn't too fond of it but he sure did look like a cute marshmallow all bundled up. Enjoy and take care until next week!
