Ethan and Lucky Bear, 2009

When Ethan was a preemie in the NICU, all the babies were given a Beanie Baby to cuddle in the isolette, incubator, crib, whatever. When he was about 2 weeks old, I came in to find this picture in Polaroid form taped to his incubator one morning. (Yes, I had to recreate the pose…)

This started a great tradition, and with the exception of one year, I’ve done a picture with Ethan and Lucky bear every year roughly around his birthday. This past weekend, we finally went and got a haircut (since I apparently gave him a mullet), and took a walk to the park by the house. My favorite one is pure Ethan attitude:
