Happy Holidays!

Here are a few highlights from our busy Christmas tour of 2008!

All worn out after the Pearl Christmas party in New Albany.

Opening gifts from Santa at home!

Four generation of Lawrances!

Ethans newest cousin on the Lawrance side....Lewis Mandel.

Ready to open gifts at Grandma and Grandpa Pearl's house!

Left to right: Megan, Ethan, Scott, Brandon, Logan, Ryan, Amanda

Ethan had more fun watching his cousin Logan open his gifts than he had opening his own!

An armed nap! Scott fell asleep with his Nerf bow and arrow to protect himself from the little boys running around with Nerf guns!

Say Cheese!

Ethan's "cheesey" face....

All grown up!

Ethan had his one year check-up a couple weeks ago. He weighed in at a heafty 21 pounds and 4 ounces and he is 27 3/4 inches long. He is now in the 25th percentile for weight and about the 5th for his length. Still, he has come a long way from when he wasn't even on the charts one year ago! Remember this pic of our little guy lying on the couch? He weighed less than 5 pounds at the time and wasn't much bigger than the remote!

Here is our big boy these days! He won't hold still long enough for us to take a picture of him lying on the couch and as you can see (barely in his right hand) he loves to play with the remote! This picture was taken after we got home from the doctor. They pricked his finger to check his iron levels and then wrapped his hand up like a little boxer to keep it from bleeding everywhere. He didn't like the prick one bit, but after we were home he couldn't have cared less about the bandage!

Spit Wash!

I guess my tupperware is not clean enough. Ethan decided some items need a spit wash!
