5 Month Old Pics - Set1 (Mommy's Faves)

Sunday I turned 5 months old. Unfortunately I had a cold on my birthday weekend. During the day I was a happy camper, but at night I was very sad and didn't like sleeping. Mommy's good friend Miss Twila came by for a visit and brought her nice camera and took a few pics of me for my birthday. I had just finished a bath and put on my blue jammies and right when Mommy propped me up my tummy rumbled and whoops I spit up on my pj's. That's those blue spots you see in the picture. Hee-Hee. But, spit-up won't stop me, I still a cutie-pie! These two pics are Mommy's favorites.
Even though I'm not "smiling" in this one, Mommy likes it because I'm trying to explain to her that I would be taking better pics if she would let me chew on the giraffe she's using to try and get me to smile. Enjoy all my pics! Love y'all - Ethan;)

5 Month Old Pics - Set 2

I was trying to tell them a story here, but Miss Twila just kept on snapping.
One of these days Mommy and Daddy are going to be fast enough to record me when I start talking like this. I have alot to say and I know all my friends and families want to hear:)

See... what had happened was...

This one was kind of blurry but Mommy couldn't resist this one w/ me laughing. Daddy and I have fun laughing all the time.

5 Month OId Pics- Set 3

Oh, what was that bright light?

See y'all next time for my Thanksgiving pics!

Jitterbug Jumparoo

Hey Family and Friends! I wanted you all to see some pics and videos of my new toy. It's a jumparoo and I LOVE IT! I've jumped so much I've even almost fallen asleep in it. It's so fun.. I get to dance and exercise my legs and arms w/ the music playing and I'm just at the right eye level to watch Mattie Lou scoot around the house. In the picture below you can see she is sniffimg out my jumparoo to make sure it's okay for me to be in it. She's such a good doggy, I can't wait to be old enough to really play with her. I've attached 2 videos, so check it out. In the second, Mommy thinks my feet are moving so fast I'm already learning how to jitterbug. She told me my Gautreau family, will be so proud of me. Enjoy my jumping! Love y'all -- Ethan!

Baby (LSU) Tiger!

Here's our little man, supporting his LSU Tigers at daycare. This weekend he was ALL LSU, especially since our other Tigers (AU) were off:). Ethan even wore gold pj's on Saturday night! Unlike Mama and Daddy, he had complete confidence that the Tigers were going to pull it out and dosed off in the 3rd quarter. Ha! We'll be geared up in our LSU attire again for the big Arkansas game when we're in Lousiana for Thanksgiving, so stayed tuned for a few more pics around that time.

Bath Time

Ethan LOVES bath time. Here he is telling me how excited he is to get in the tub.
He's also really discovered his tongue over the last week or so and is making smacking sounds. Usually this is followed by a ton of bubbles.


Sticking out his tongue again after his bath. This left arm extending out from towel indicates he's getting ready for full out aerobic exercise. Arms waving and legs kicking like crazy. Immediately after his bath he is super energized, but once he's dressed, it's crash time. Talk about from one extreme to the next. We'll have to video him post-bath soon. It's hilarious.

We thought maybe we could get a few more 4 month old pics after his bath time, but as you can see he got fixated on the bunny here. He's looking at it so intently. Don't you wish you knew what he was thinking?

Now, he wants it. Can I hold it Daddy?! While thinking, ooh I bet it tastes so good. Ha ha!!

Fussy Britches;)

Every photo shoot seems to have a dramatic ending. Here are the early stages.. ha ha.. or he was just showing off his strong leg muscles.
In picture 2 here, not only is our baby able to squat, but take notice he's working upper and lower muscle strength w/ a left arm bicep curl. Seems like the bunny is trying to get out of the way. HA!

And Stage 3 we're aggrivated. Please take note of the red lines in his forehead. I'm taking it as clear evidence of some Cajun blood in his system.



As some of you know, the purple and gold Tigers won the game and b/c of that Ethan sported his LSU colors at daycare on Tuesday. I had to get evidence to show my family, but he was not at all happy that Mommy put him down.

Around 2 months old when Ethan was able to start responding to us, one day he was upset and in trying to console him, Chris says, "Are you being a Fussy Britches?" Kind of random I know, but for whatever reason it stuck. Well this picture is a clear definition of Mr. Fussy Britches. I think its b/c he wanted Mama's arms. But, Chris thinks it's b/c he was dressed in LSU colors. I beg to differ. HA!
