Lately...

Ethan is about 13 1/2 months now-what a fun age! He has gotten really good at walking and even tries to run too-he sure does keep us busy. He says lots of words: "ca-ca" for cracker, mama and dada, "mmmm" for milk, and "nana" for banana. He LOVES the water and throws a huge fit when it's time to go inside. He also loves to take walks around the neighborhood and "drive" around in his Cozy Coupe.

Mommy is counting down the days (26!!) until summer vacation. We signed Ethan up for swim lessons and we will continue doing classes at The Little Gym too. We will be taking E on his first plane ride to New York in June-I'll be sure to post how that goes (I'm nervous)!!

Here are some recent pics-enjoy!

Ok, Mommy-that's enough pictures!


Probably dialing China on Daddy's blackberry!

Easter 2010

Wow, we can't believe Ethan just celebrated his second Easter! This time last year, he was only a month old; a little blob not able to do much of anything. Check out the post last year here. Next year he will get to hunt for Easter eggs! We spent some time with both sides of the family on Sunday. Ethan got his first set of golf clubs from Nonnie and Pop and some Easter treats from Grandma and Grandpa. He had a great time playing with his cousins. We even let him swim in the baby pool since it was so hot!
Checking out their loot!



My first golf club!
















A Day in the Park

With 3 kids in tow, we quickly learned "a day in the park" is really no day in the park! Jake and I along with Jake's brother, Seth, took the kids to Stephen F. Austin State Park on Saturday to enjoy the beautiful weather and hopefully to take some pictures in the bluebonnets. Sadly, we couldn't find any good patches along the way or at the park, but we managed to get some cute pics anyway. We had a little picnic and walked one of the nature trails. Ethan was determined to ingest something other than food! Everytime we turned around, he had a rock, stick, or flower in his mouth. Fun day, but hard to keep up with all the little ones!

Ethan got a lot of practice walking!

Sweet cousins! Ethan, Casey, and Ava
