Ethan is now 4 months old!!! We have been very busy lately visiting family, we are now on our family vacation to Yellowstone. Mother's Day was wonderful, Daddy made me a nice breakfast and then we opened presents. Ethan got me a massage for when we are on vacation. That will be really relaxing. We went to the doctor on Tuesday to receive Ethan's next round of shots. He weighed in at 13 pounds 13 ounces (30% percentile) and is 25 inches long (50% percentile). He is getting so big as my mom would say. He has definately grown in length, hopefully my side of the family will help out in that department. Dr. Rubin said that we could start him on rice cereal, that was really funny. Ethan just made funny faces, but seemed to like it he smiled after each bite.

We started our trip up to Yellowstone by making a stop in San Jose to visit Cousin Jenny. Jenny had Grace Ellen last Tuesday. It was so fun to see Jenny and Jim so happy. It brought back memories of Ethan being that age. It feels like so long ago he was that little, but look how much he has grown in 17 weeks. While we were up there we also went to meet Larrs' grandpa and aunt. It was fun to get together with them, we had a great lunch. Aunt Anita held Ethan the whole time.

After we left there we headed on our long journey up to Yellowstone National Park. We are currently in West Yellowstone, Montana. It is beautiful here, so many trees. On our way to the park we made a stop at Bear World. It was really cool, we drove the truck through the park and around you are bears. It was a little scary but really interesting to see the animals so close. Boy are they big. We even saw little bear cubs. They are so cute, but I don't think I would want to touch them. Ethan also saw his first IMAX movie, he loved looking at the big screen. However when the loud sounds happened he starting screaming. We decided to move to the back of the theater and then we put him in Larrs lap and he feel alseep. Poor Guy! We will keep you updated along our trip.
