Crawling and Pulling Up

Our Little Man is growing up!
Mommy, I'm UP!! Get me out of here please!

Crawling around in the office while Mommy and Daddy try and work...

First Halloween!

Ethan was dressed up as a cute little monkey! We took him around in the stroller while our niece went trick-or-treating. Enjoy the pics!


It's a zoo! We have a ladybug, a giraffe, and a monkey. Our attempt at a cousin pic...

Sweet Monkey!

Lately...

We've been pretty busy these days!

Ethan is about 7 1/2 months and ALL over the place. He has mastered the army crawl and getting better at real crawling every day. He is starting to pull up on things to stand; his personal favorite is to stand up in his crib.

He still doesn't have any teeth so I hope they make an appearance soon; he's been very cranky lately.

We've gotten to spend time with good friends. We threw Page and Reagan a going away party last weekend; they are moving to Denver at the end of October. We are going to miss them!!! Good thing we already have a trip planned in December to visit.

Ethan has gotten to spend time with his little buddy Ryder too. Once he gets a little bigger, they can play together.

Here are a few pics from this month...

Me and my Girls!

Every morning, Ethan is mesmorized by Micky Mouse! We plop him on our bed surrounded by pillows so he can watch while we get ready for work.

Just crawling around...

Mexico Trip!

Here are a few highlights from our trip to Playa del Carmen last weekend. Blogger only allows me to upload 5 pictures at a time -anyone know how to change this so that I can do more?? I also posted all of them on facebook...


Anyway, here goes. We had a blast - got to go ziplining through the jungle, repelling, and snorkling in the cenotes (underwater caves). We also got to visit some of the Mayan ruins in Tulum. We had a great time relaxing and being baby-free but we sure did miss our little guy a
lot.

First Haircut!

Ethan's hair was getting a bit shaggy around the ears so we decided to get it cut today. Daddy was complaining that he was beginning to look like a hippy!

Jake and I got back from Mexico this morning and had a B-L-A-S-T! I will post pictures later this week - too tired. :)

6 Months

Ethan is such a bog boy! He can sit all by himself and he creeps anywhere he wants to go. He can't quite crawl yet but I imagine that's coming in the next week or so. His personality is really coming through - I love seeing him interact with us and with the world. He's so much fun!

Jake put together his high chair over the weekend and he loved sitting in it.

We also got his Halloween costume the other day - he is going to be SO CUTE! I tried it on him today and it is so adorable - I am tempted to leave some pics, but I want it to be a surprise. :)

Greenbeans and Peas and Sweet Potatoes, Oh My!

Yes, our Little Man has started eating baby food. I was shocked, but he loves the green vegetables! We gave him sweet potatoes the other day and he spit them out and it also gave him lots of tummy troubles, so we'll wait a while to try those again.

Ethan will be 6 months old this week and is all over the place! He wants to crawl so bad but for now, he rolls and creeps where ever he wants to go. He's so much fun - laughing and giggling like crazy and generally a very happy baby! :)
