My New Favorite Activity

So, Ethan's new favorite thing to do is look out the window. Any window will do, but the front window in his playroom is his favorite. He'll literally stand there for 15 mins. and bang and wave and talk and dance. It's very cute. Most of the pictures in this new batch are at a window - hence the bad lighting, etc.

We've had some fun over the last few weeks - lots of time with friends. Ethan has more friends than his mom & dad!

Nothing much else is new. Still trying to get some food into the kid, but it's getting better. He's getting to be quite the quick crawler and pulls up on just about anything (including his crib in the middle of the night).

Looking forward to Tahoe in a few weeks and then our big trip a few weeks after that. Ethan can't wait to see all of his grandparents, aunts, uncles, great-grandma, and cousins Joey & Ryan. Oh - and CJ, too!

Here are some new pics. Enjoy!

Who Put This Gate Here?

Well, we finally put the gate up and as you can see from this picture, not a moment too soon!

Ethan is crawling everywhere...and fast. He's had a great few weeks - learning to pull up (which he can't get enough of) and starting to eat a little again. No feeding clinic for our boy.

The weather is getting nice here and we're hoping to enjoy some time outside this weekend. I'll try to capture some good pictures. In the meantime, click here for some good shots. We're all looking forward to our trips out east and to Houston in about a month!

Here I Go!

Ethan learned how to crawl this weekend - perfect timing with Mom Mom's visit. He moves a bit more each day and is very melodramatic about it (would you expect any less from him?). His top 2 front teeth are also through -- he's really growing up!

Needless to say, I'm panicking about the childproofing we need to do and we'll try to have the gates up this weekend.

We had a great weekend with Mom-Mom and the weather was perfect. We're hoping for some more good weather this weekend when Grandpa, Grandma and Aunt Katie are here. Ethan is lucky to have such frequent fliers in his family...

Almost Crawling...

He's sooooooo close. Will definitely try to capture some video once it does happen. Other than that, not much else new. Awaiting family visits over the next few weeks. Ethan is excited!

Ethan's $20 Giraffe

It's a good thing he likes it - check out this video :)

Get Well Soon Daddy!

We had a pretty good weekend despite Ben's nasty flu. It's a bummer that he didn't get to enjoy his weekend, but we hope he's on the road to recovery. Ethan is up to some new tricks - lots of rolling and getting on all fours and rocking, but no crawling yet. We don't think it will be long, though. He also had another good swim lesson -- he really is a natural :)

Enjoy the picture and video below. Click here for some more cute ones.
