Ethan's 6 month update

Our precious little boy is 6 months old ALREADY and is getting so big!! He is still my little baby but he sure is not a little newborn anymore. He had his appt today and weighs 17lbs 11oz (50% percentile) and is 28 inches long (97%). Soon he will be catching up with Taelor. He was a trooper for his shots, I think it makes me feel worse than anything! Shots are no fun!!Well the past few months have been so wonderful watching Ethan grow up. Ethan loves to play with anything he can get his hands on (even his sisters ponytails). His first two bottom teeth came through about 3 weeks ago and he can sit up on his own for a little while. The past few days he has been scooting on his belly to get things in front of him, so it's only a matter of time before he is off and crawling. He is starting to babble "du, du, du" and "bu bu bu". I know he will be saying "dada" soon (even though he doesn't know what he is really saying), Saul still gets so excited! I love watching him and Taelor together, he just adores her and laughs at everything she does. The other day Taelor wanted to dance with him so she grabbed his hands and starting dancing and singing to him, it was so cute, I even caught it on video! We are looking forward to the next few months as Ethan gets older, he is so much fun to be around and is just about the happiest, smiliest baby I have ever known. I love him to pieces and just can't get enough of him!

My Little Princess

My little Taelor is growing up so fast and is already 20 months old. Where does time go? I have realized it goes by even faster when you have kids. The past few weeks Taelor has been amazing us every day with so many different things she is learning and she is also challenging us as parents as she is entering her "wonderful twos". She makes my heart melt every day whether she is going around the house dancing and singing, walking in my high heels, playing with her brother, or just simply being Taelor. She has such a strong willed child with a big personality, even though sometimes we wonder where her unique personality comes from, but she is truly a blessing to our lives and we love her so much.

Football Season is here!!

Yeah, we are so excited that football season is here! Now if only the weather would change it would be perfect. When football starts it means that fall is just around the corner and I enjoy watching the games with my hubby, and I even understand the game (or at least most of it)! We are Trojan fans around here and we look forward to another great season. If anyone wants to come over for a game you are always welcome, football will be on for the next 5 months around here! Happy Football watching....GO USC!

Taelor in her new hat

Taelor picked out this hat the other day at H & M and she loves it! I think it is just too cute!

Pictures of Callie

Here are some pictures of my precious little niece Callie. She was such a good model for her first photo shoot. As many of you know I am obsessed with pictures and I am having lots of fun practicing on my kids and my little niece! Enjoy the pictures!

That was a great meal!

Just thought I would share this adorable photo. Ethan had just finished eating his dinner and I guess it was so good that it made him fall asleep at the table. It was so cute. It's good to know he can fall asleep just about anywhere. Taelor thought it was so funny that brother fell asleep in his high chair! I have always seen this on home videos on TV and have wondered how can these kids just fall asleep, and now I know when they are tired they don't care where they fall asleep!

Baby Callie Cosette Scherbarth is here!

My sister Vanessa had her precious little girl Callie Cosette on Friday, August 15th at 2:23pm. She weighed 7lbs 8oz and is a healthy and happy baby! Vanessa, Clint and Caleb are doing good! I just love my new niece! I can't wait for her and Ethan to play with each other! We love you Callie.

Some cute pictures of Taelor and Ethan

These pictures were taken by Chela. The kids have so much fun hanging out with Lulu and Eli!

BUSY, BUSY , BUSY!!

I have been so busy lately and I am finally catching up on things this week. Last week our church had VBS (vacation bible school) in the evenings and I helped out all week. I did the snacks for the kids and I had so much fun getting to know all of them. I just love little kids, I really think I should have been a teacher!! But it was great seeing all of the smiles on the kids faces, especially when they would be so proud to tell you a memory verse they memorized or what they were learning about Jesus! Even thought I was exhausted by the end of the week it was all worth it! So now I am trying to take it easy this week and catching up on some sleep!

Phillip is off to Germany

Phillip left today to Germany. Please pray for a safe flight and that he adjusts well to his new surroundings. Also pray for my sister and her family as they adjust to life with Phillip out of the house. We will miss him so much and we are so proud of him!
