Mr. Potato Head

I would like to say thanks to my sister Natalie
who recently gave Ethan a Mr. Potato Head toy.

I hope you are not offended that he enjoys playing
with the package more than the toy...

I think he is going to LOVE Christmas- not for the new
toys but for the unlimited amount of wrapping paper.

Where have the Erbs been?

Hello! Yes, I know it has been awhile. I can't believe I haven't posted since July.

Well, a lot has changed for our little family. We are now proud residents of Lehi- the home of this cult classic movie. Every time that movie is on TV I can't help watching it for a bit because of how much the area has changed since they made the movie. We love our new house and will post pictures soon.

In the mean time here are some pictures of
what we have been up to:

Julie and Ken visiting from California.
At the playground near our house.

Ethan LOVES swimming.

Trip to California

Last week Ethan made his first trip to California! We had a great time, even though we were both sad Jared couldn't go. Here are pictures from the trip:

Ethan was a great traveler in the car. He slept most of the time.

Ethan's first trip to In-N-Out!

Smiling for Grandma.

Ethan with his cousins Ty, Luke, Taylor, and Audrey.
On this trip we discovered that Ethan loved Audrey's silky blanket.

When we got home, Ethan let us know he never wanted to go on a trip without his dad again!
(So sad, yet so cute...)

More Ethan Vids!!

The boy is doing incredibly well. He is happy and healthy and growing so big. We can hardly believe it! He is almost 3 1/2 months old now! He's started sleeping through the night, which is heavenly. He eats around 11:30pm, goes to sleep about an hour later, and sleeps until around 6:30am when he wakes up for breakfast. He'll then go back to sleep for 3 more hours before feeding again, and will usually sleep after that until noon. And when daddy gets home in the afternoon, he's always excited! He loves his daddy! And he's always a very good boy for mama.

Trying to catch his laugh on tape, we caught these fantastic smiles:



Here he is grabbing toys for the first time:



Finally caught that laugh!!



More laughs & smiles:



Poopy boy:

New Videos that I've Finally Gotten Around to Posting

The boy is 2 months old today! So we celebrated by making a little treat that we ate for him (since he can't have any yet!)

As you can tell from the photos, he wasn't really into it. He must be holding out for his first birthday where he gets a cake all to himself.

Shortly after he had his oxygen tank permanently removed, we filmed him playing in bed.



Here is a closeup of his scars. They are pretty remarkable.



It's so cute when he stretches! He shows off his touchdown stance and his Hallelujah! and his Superman pose all in one video.



I hope he forgives me for the junk shot, but this video he shows off how much fun he has in the bath.

Pretty Boy

Introducing Ethany!

(This is all my sister Natalie's fault for
giving me her baby's old clothes)

Truth be told, Ethan didn't really
like playing dress-up with mom.

Smiley Baby

I finally got some cute pictures of Ethan when he was in one of his smiley moods. He really is such a sweet boy- even if he drives his mom nuts at night because he wants to be held rather than sleep in his bed :)






Here' s the boy hanging out with his mama:
Enjoy the cuteness!!
