The holidays are over...

Well, the break is officially over and we have been back at school for one week. At the beginning of last semester I cried every day at the thought of having to go to school AND take care of a baby. I know that this semester is going to be even harder, but for some reason it doesn't seem as scary. Maybe its because I have a whole line of people who I know will babysit Ethan for me. Or maybe it is that the end is in site. Four more months and I am done with school. Forever. Well, I can hope at least ;).

Ethan is getting so big I can hardly believe it. He turned 8 months old this past Monday. Wow. At the doctor's on Tuesday they measured him at 29 inches. That means he has grown a foot since he was born! Minha nossa. He had surgery this past Tuesday, but he is doing great. He was pretty out of it for the whole day, but on the up side he was super cuddly ;). By Wednesday morning he was laughing and squirmy again. Back to normal. We were very happy to see him recover so fast. We know that he had lots of prayers on his behalf.

 Ethan is not crawling yet. Nana taught him how to "rock" on his hands and knees over the break, so he does that pretty well, but he seems to like doing push-ups better. Or maybe he is doing downward facing dog? I wish I could ask him.

Here is Trent wresting with Ethan. Ethan is laughing hysterically. 

It must be a boy thing.

 This is their new trick. Ethan's leans forward as far as he can without falling forward. I was pretty impressed.
