Catching Up....

So, the last post was in February...... a lot has happened in our lives, I think I will just give the shortened version!  Basically, we sold our house, moved in upstairs from my parents, had a baby, and bought a new house (all in about 2 months).  Its been very busy and a little bit stressful, but we continue to plug along. 

Lillian Louise Pulse was born on June 12, 2012; she is a little angel.  Lillian is getting so big already, she was born at 7 pounds 14 ounces and 18.5 inches and at her 2 month check up she was 12 pounds 8 ounces and 22.5 inches.  She is almost rolling over already and as of now, are working on getting her on a consistent sleep schedule.  Since we are still living at my parents, Lillian doesn't exactly have her own room; that has posed a bit of a challenge, especially with our little Ethan running around and yelling all the time...we are working on a plan.

Ethan is unbelievable!  He never stops talking, you can have entire conversations with him and its the coolest thing.  He is wonderful with Lillian and for a little boy who is almost 2.5 years old, he is a great listener and has a wonderful personality; he makes us smile everyday.  We have been working on potty training and he pretty much decided one day that he wanted to go on the potty all the time.  He wears pull ups and underwear and we have only had a few accidents, hopefully Lillian will be that easy!  The biggest thing for Ethan right now is his tonsils; he has been sick basically the entire summer and after a consultation with ENT doc in June, we decided to get the tonsils out.  The surgery is Friday and him and I have to sleep over at the hospital.  We have told him about a sleep over at the doctor and I just hope that he doesn't get scared....I am a bit nervous, but I know this is the best thing for him in the long run.  Will let you all know how it goes..... 

As I mentioned, we are still at my parents and getting ready to start construction on our new house, this is very exciting but we have a long road ahead of us.  I will post pictures as things progress.

I am really going to try and post every month from now on so check back often....for now, check out some pictures
