Meet Ethan Douglas Ballard
|
|
Here I am - about an hour into my trip to this world. |
| Here is the soon to be Mama contemplating why Ethan is taking his sweet time coming out to see us. This was Father's Day and Ethan was a week late at this point.-----------------> |
|
|
|
Here is the soon to be proud Dad explaining to Molly how she is going to have to put up with ear pulling, nose tweaking and being No. 2. The part about losing her No. 1 status really got to her. Molly was not happy. |
| Not Number One? Say it ain't so! ----> |
|
|
|
Closing in on two weeks overdue, Mom decides that Ethan needs to come out and face the world. |
| Dad apparently agrees. ---------------> |
|
|
|
Here Nurse Becky takes Mom's VISA Card number after Mom loses lots of money on the hospital/casino video blackjack machine. |
| Here's Mom thinking that this is going to be a piece of cake. The other Grandma, Pat, is thinking, "this kid has no idea of what's coming". And Scott; well, Scott is thinking, "look what I did!" |
|
|
|
Mom's expression after Nurse Becky explains what it is she's about to do. |
|
And, the result is ---------->.
Look below to see that Mom and Dad clearly have a different view of the morning's events......... |

|
|
| Mom's got this big empty spot to fill up. |
|
|
|
Ya think Grandma Jean is proud? We had to stop at Toys R Us on the way home from the hospital.... |
| Well, you'd be a little fuzzy yourself if you went through what I did today. I'm hungry. Where's my Corvette? Didya see that hot looking nurse out there? Whatcha mean, NO!? Lemme at that cocker spaniel! I wanna learn to fly R/C helicopters....now! I refuse to sleep at night until I'm at least 37. I already know that if I give Grandma Jean this look, I can get whatever I want..... |
|
|
|
Here I am charming Great Grandma Bess. It's easy to see what one week of learning can do. I can see she is going to be one easy pushover....... |
| Hey, this sleepin' stuff is pretty good. Well, it's almost as good as taking a big dump. Wait a minute, I think I can do both. Yea, that's the ticket..... |
|
|
|
Jeeze, how can a fellow get any sleep with things like this hanging around? Wait-a-minute, I saw a kid that looked just like this at he hospital's nursery. |
| It appears that Grandpa Keith is also gonna be an easy push over. Already got him to buy me a beer. |
|
|
|
There I was, laying in my bassinette, minding my own business and my own mom put this costume on me! She thinks it's a neat Halloween get-up. Just wait until the next time she wants to take a nap...... |
| Getting to sleep is no problem...... |
|
|
|
Damn, I'm cute.... |
| It's all that Great Granma Lois can do, keeping me away from that dog's ears. |
|
|
|
Hey, this guy ain't so tough. |
 |
 |
|
|
Get your own pacifier! |
|
True |
|
|
|
Don't stop now. More food! |
