Cuddling with Grandpa

Grandma and Grandpa Stockwell came to visit this weekend, and lots of fun was had by all. Ethan enjoyed playing and cuddling with Grandpa, and doing "tummy time" with Grandma. Mom and Dad enjoyed having a few extra hands around!

Happy Birthday Ethan!

Ethan turns 2 months old today! In honor of the occasion, Dad held an extensive photo shoot yesterday. Of the almost 100 (!) pictures, these are some of our favorites...

Smile!

Ethan has been practicing his smile lots lately. He has also been practicing dirtying as many outfits as possible within a 24 hour period. He finds watching Mom and Dad scramble to clean up from these incidents particularly funny...

Beard Be Gone

I know that most of our posts revolve around Ethan, but I thought Ben shaving his beard warrented a post. Instead of shaving it all the way, he decided to go with the "Triple S" ('stache, soul patch, and sideburns) facial hair pattern. Post a comment to let us know what you think of it.

Grandma S. Visits

Grandma S. couldn't bear to be away from Ethan for too long (can we blame her?!), so she came for a quick overnight visit. She made a delicious dinner (bean & ham soup and homemade bread), but barely had time to eat as she was busy smothering Ethan with kisses :-)

Winter Weekend in Maine

We trekked up to Maine for hockey, x-country skiing, and to celebrate Ben's 29th Birthday. It was Ethan's first overnight and out-of-state visit, as well as his first time meeting Great Grandpa Howie. Howie was very excited to meet his (middle) namesake and was surprised at how Ethan in his eyes "grew overnight". It was a truly special winter weekend.
