We had a new edition to our family this month! Ethan Casey Johnson was born October 3rd, 2007 at 2:31 am. He was 9 lbs. 3 oz. (the exact weight Kade was!) and 21 1/4 inches long. He's absolutely ADORABLE! Ethan is a very quiet and happy baby. His newborn cry is so precious. He's started to have gas smiles that make your heart melt! I can't wait until he smiles on his own. Like Kade, Ethan is very alert and is constantly studying his surroundings with his big blue/brown eyes.
Being the parents of two has been an easier transition than we expected. ~We still get tired but I suppose that won't change for 20 years or so. =) We've learned to value Kade's nap time and have designated that as our nap time, too. Despite the long days, we love having our two little boys and we look forward to all of the fun adventures they'll share as they grow older.
Kade has LOVED being a big brother! He has not stopped giving Ethan soft kisses and long hugs. Seriously, sometimes we have to watch them together so Kade doesn't smother his brother. =)every morning when Kade wakes up, he runs to our room to check on Ethan in his cradle. He always comes to Ethan's aid when he cries and has been a huge help with getting diapers, wipes, and the binki. It's been a learning experience for us to know how to encourage Kade's help while teaching him when and how to care for Ethan. His intentions are always good.... Kade's still his little adventurous self, though, and is often found driving his toy cars, playing at the piano, or simply getting into things. Kade now has a few new words to add to "dada" and "hi/bye". He can now say "car" and "hot" and makes loads of sound effects (does this remind you of anyone??? Casey was the sound effect King growing up) for his cars and animals. My Grandma and Grandpa Jones gave Kade a bunch of fun little farm animals and that has launched his new interest in their noises. It's fun to teach him their sounds and hear his interpretations of them. He's especially keen on barking, quacking, and mooing. =) He'll be turning two in December. I can't believe how fast he's growing up!
Here are some fun videos of our family.

Alright, we get to see more of you guys even though you're far away. Kade looks so big now and cuter. I mean he was cute before but he's way cuter now. He's a stud. Looks like his mom. HE HE. Just kidding Casey I'm sure there is some of you in there somewhere. We're excited to check out your blog a lot!!!! It's nice to know what you're up to. Congrats on Ethan and I'm glad it's been a smooth transition from one to two, it wasn't that smooth for me. Jimmy likes to watch the videos of Kade so keep them coming.
What a cool idea, how do you do this? Dillon's family lives so far away from us they would love this. Your family is beautiful!!! This is a great way to keep updated on you and your family, but I still don't know where you are living. Let me know, and I am excited about being able to look at this every once in awhile. I had so much fun with you at school and I will enjoy being updated on what is going on with you.
