The Park...

Ethan's first time to a park was fun for all...I am beginning to think that we began a family so that JIMMY could go and play at the park!!

Lions, and Tigers, and Bears...

and quite alot of other mammals and reptiles too! We visited the Philadelphia Zoo and can't wait to go back! (And I must say Holly & I have EXCELLENT taste as we dressed in the same shirt by accident!)

Church clothes?!...

This was the result when Mommy asked Daddy to get Ethan ready for church...I knew Jimmy was up to something when I heard the snickering on the stairs...this may be the last time Daddy gets to dress Ethan. Ethan didn't actually end up wearing this since Mommy didn't approve!

8 Months old...

Ethan continues to grow before our eyes...we can't believe it has been 8 months already!! Just a recap of what Ethan is up to...Ethan has been sitting independently, can transition from his stomach to sitting and from his back to sitting, is able to pass a ball back and forth, has started to crawl, is starting to pull to standing, & walks short distances with double upper extremity support. He continues to eat well and has tried solids that are not pureed...such as Mack & Manco Pizza crust, and bread...He loves drinking water from a straw like a little bird! (especially when it is from a grown up cup!) He is learning to stand by the door and wave bye bye and knock knock.

Milestone Reached...

Ethan is now crawling...just shy of being 8 months old! Life just became much harder...we have quite a few things that we need to pack up and maybe take back out in a few years...He is getting into everything...and of course Mom & Dad's things are much more interesting than his own.

Quick visit to Virginia...

This weekend we offically met Harrison! We are very proud Aunt's & Uncle's. He is a tiny peanut and absolutely adorable...we can't even remember Ethan being that small. We soo much enjoyed holding him and visiting with Lisa & Mark...Bauer (the dog) has decided he STRONGLY dislikes me...hopefully he will be more receptive on future visits. Ethan loving likes to swat Harris in the face...we are working on "gentle"!

Like father like son...

When it comes to Jimmy & Ethan the apple does not fall far from the tree...earlier this week I caught Ethan being a "rock licker" ; He was testing to make sure they did not give us faux granite...the verdict?? So it appears we may have another geological engineer in the family! Thanks to Aunt Trisha they even dress alike!
