A Big Thank You to Grandpa Bob

Grandpa Bob took Ethan to his swim lessons last night. Tim was off playing music with his band on TV and mom does not have a swimsuit that fits. Thanks to Grandpa Bob, Ethan did not miss a swim lesson and he got to do it with Grandpa Bob! He had a such a great time, he slept through the night! Thanks again!!

First Overnight EVER at Grandma Marvin's

Ahhh, Mommy and me.

Ethan had such a wonderful time at Grandma's, when I went to pick him up he really didn't notice I was there. He ran straight to Auntie Allison and said "up."

The Vikings game was sad, but Ethan stayed up for the whole game.

The Fourteenth Tooth Has Arived!!

I knew it was coming, but I didn't know when. I just checked his mouth as he tried to put another book into his mouth. Now it is time for teething pills and a nuk. This should make for a good afternoon!!

Also note, today Ethan is 19 months old! Soon I can give up on the months and just go with years. That is until Ella arrives and then I must start all over again...

Ethan Vacuuming, again

Baby Update

It has been busy in the Krueger household as we get ready for Baby Ella's arrival. Ethan and Ella will be sharing a room for a little while as we do some remodeling around the house. Ella's crib is all ready and has Ethan's old swing and bouncy seat in it ready to go. Ethan was not very excited to see the swing set out for Ella and not able to use it, but points it out often to let me know it is still there. Although, Ethan, technically is still within the weight limit set by the manufacturer, he is too tall and the obvious- a big boy!! The car seat is in the car and all of her clothes are washed and waiting for her to come home. My bag for the hospital is packed and Daddy's bag is getting there too. Ethan has a gift waiting for Ella and Ella has a gift wrapped waiting for him. Now I just need to sit back and wait. Only 7 weeks until my due date.

Tooth Number 13 has Arrived

This morning while changing Ethan Diaper, I noticed his 13th tooth had broken through the skin. He should have about 20 teeth by his second birthday... only time will tell!

Ethan and his new vacuum on Christmas morning. He played with it and helped daddy vacuum. In total that morning he played with it for over an hour. The first time he played with the vacuum it was for a solid hour. That night Ethan would not let it go and it was tucked in his bed with him when he went to sleep.

The Adams, Boyd and Krueger cousins. Merry Christmas!!

More vacuuming. Next time I should get Ethan a real vacuum so my floors will get clean as he plays.
