Ups and Downs

 
Well our holiday weekend did not turn out as planned and was full of up and down emotions.  It began on Thanksgiving when weather kept both Ethan and my family from coming to visit.  So Sean's first Thanksgiving was spent with just mom and dad on the couch watching TV in their PJ's.  Hopefully next years will be more eventful. 

The next blow to the emotions was on Friday when Ethan was told that the only work his company had for him was in Billings and when Ethan told his boss that he couldn't leave his 1 month old son and wife at home alone his boss told him he would call him when he had work.  So we spent the weekend figuring out how we were going to survive on one income.  Ethan went and talked to his boss on Monday after a good talk they were able to find him some work in town, hopefully it will last a while.

As you can see from the pictures Sean's emotions were up and down as well.  He has become less fussy for the most part (last night he gave dad a run for his money), he is more awake during the day and taking everything in.  He also is smiling a lot but every time I try to capture it on camera is turns into crying or a yawn; guess he is tired of pictures.

Hope you all had a fabulous holiday weekend!

Happy Thanksgiving?

Sean's first Thanksgiving and weather kept family from coming to visit.  Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday so I'm very sad that we didn't get to celebrate as we should.  Guess the new tradition is spending the day in your pj's watching TV.  I did make ham, mashed potatoes and stuffing so at least there was some real food!

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Father, Son Bonding Time

 Ethan finally finished working in Big Sky.  Although he is very proud of the work he did building an 8 million dollar home he is glad to be home at more decent hours.  Not sure where work will take him next but Sean and I are sure happy to spend more time with him.



Sean always puts his hands in the most interesting places when he sleeps.  Sometimes they are clasp nice on his chest, sometimes stretched out completely above his head.  Yesterday I think he was trying to say just leave me alone people!

Rough days...

Well we've had a couple of rough days as Sean has been crying when he isn't sleeping or eating.  Last night he developed a sound of phlegm in his throat and nasal cavity, so we were worried he may have caught a cold.  I decided to take him into the doctor just to be safe.  Turns out that he may have baby reflux, which would account for his crying and other issues.  The doctor gave us some medicine and I guess we'll see if things get better over the next few days.  Even when he isn't feeling good he does enjoy his swing.

To Grandma & Grandpa's house we go

 It had been 3 weeks since Sean was born and Grandma and Grandpa couldn't wait any longer to see him.  So we decided to head to Whitehall for the day.  Grandma sure didn't want to put him down.  Great Grandma Bertie, Rachel & Darrel Warner, Pad, Kristen and Hope Morarity and Diane Larsen also came to see him.
