NO-vember!

I want to say NOOOOOO to November this year! Can't believe it is already here...another month closer to the end of my maternity leave. Yes, I am whining and complaining...because I can...and because i'm sad about having to leave my baby with strangers soon. I know I have been lucky to have a few extra weeks than the typical twelve you get here. How awful - only a mere twelve weeks to establish a bond with a little life you will be responsible for for a long time to come. And forget the dads...in the great and prosperous United States of America they get zilch. Thank goodness Ty has a nice boss who granted him two weeks. I advise you not to tune in to this blog in late December/early January if you don't want hear my future rants.

Anywho...

Ethan wrapped up October in costume. He was the cutest giraffe on the block!

We celebrated with a whole bunch of moms, dads and little ones at a the Turtle Club, a local bar here in Hoboken. It really was kind of humorous to walk into a bar pushing a stroller and be faced with about twenty other families. There were babies in costume, babies in carriers, babies at the bar, babies EVERYWHERE. I wish i got a picture of the baby madness but it was way too crowded. I snapped this one of Ethan with Ty. Lots of fun was had by all!

On the 1st of November, we celebrated Ty's 35th birthday. Ethan woke up early to wish his daddy a happy birthday. Later that day, we met daddy for a steak dinner. E got his old man a Jets t-shirt, football and cute Jets teddy bear. He also bought himself some Jets onesies to wear while watching games with his daddy.

The next day, Nov. 2nd, Ethan wished his Papa a happy 70th birthday!

We are sad we couldn't be there to celebrate with you Papa Marv, but we were thinking of you and can't wait to give you big birthday hugs at Christmas.

Speaking of Christmas...Ethan applied for his passport so he can go to Winnipeg in December.
Here he is at the Passport Center Post Office...

...and here's the cutest pic i snapped there too...

One more! Ethan in the Bumbo chair. He is still trying to figure out how to sit in it. So adorable. In this pic, he looks like a pro but he was a tad bit wobbly...mom just got a good shot.

That's about all for now. See you soon!

Oh by the way, thanks Blogger for improving the efficiency of the photo upload process. I didn't want to bang my head against the wall while uploading pictures for this post. Props!
