Christmas Card Sneak-Peak

Jake and I thought we'd try to take a few shots for our Christmas card - so we got Ethan in front of the tree the other day with a few ornaments and viola! :) Not professional but still cute.
Here are a few of my favorites. Gotta love the drool on the first one!! Ethan's first tooth finally poked through last week (bottom right) and its neighbor is not far behind so he's drooling like crazy!

T-R-O-U-B-L-E

Ethan is trouble these days! He's into everything, including crawling up the stairs and pulling all the ornaments off the Christmas tree... But he's also so much fun!! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving too. Ethan ate some bread, stuffing, and sweet potatoes!

LIGHTS!!!

Can I go outside, Momma?

Diggin' through all the Christmas decorations...

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.

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. :)
