Birthday Bash

Hum, what trouble can I get into???

I did it!!!!

Helping open presents

A police car

What is this???

Get that off my head!!!!

My wish is...

I have never seen one of these before

I changed my mind, this is yummy!!!

Ethan's first birthday party was on Saturday! He had such a blast, getting wet and going through three outfits in a matter of 3 hours. Total boy!!!! Ethan started his day off in the backyard crawling across the grass and then ending up on the patio. He proceeded to the dog bowl and stuck his face and hands in it, then dumped the whole bowl over!!!! Needless to say he was very wet. Then it was time to open presents, he helped with a couple of gifts but got bored. After presents we ate birthday cake and sang Happy Birthday to him, he was so good! He seemed to like the cake, although he really did not get himself that messy. Family members just helped him with the mess! It was a great day and it was so nice to see so many family and friends!

Birthday Boy

Ethan is one! The year has gone by so quickly and filled with many memories. Larrs' Aunt Lynn watches Ethan a couple times a week and has just been a blessing to us throughout Ethan's first year. We really appreciate all that she has done for us and Ethan. Ethan went to her house this morning and opened a gift (which of course was a fire truck)! He was so excited he was bouncing and making a lot noise. Then later in the day he made a cake with Aunt Lynn, he was so excited about the cake he dipped his fingers into the frosting! Yummy!
Later that day we went to see Dr. Rubin for his 12 month checkup. It went pretty well, he has grown taller over the last few months. Ethan is now 29 1/2 inches long (45% percentile up from 15% percentile) , but is only 19 pounds 3 ounces (6% percentile down from 10% percentile) . I swear I am feeding the kid, he is just burning up all the calories with how active he is! So now we have to keep him on the formula until 15 months and starting feeding him more of our dinners. Then, as the doctor was checking his ears she asks me, "Did he have a cold?". I said "No, I don't think he did." Well apparently he has a ear infection...Oh boy! What a bad mom I am! Yikes! Well despite how awful I felt Ethan was as happy as a clam!

Peter 's First Birthday

Playing with dog toys and taking off his pants...True Man

Peter, these are some nice shoes...

Will they fit me?

Can you help me put them on?

Serious faces...

Shake, Shake, Shake Your Booty

Ethan and I went to Peter's First Birthday. We had a great time, Ethan had a blast playing with all his new toys. Ethan opened some of Peter's presents and was sitting in the middle of all the action. It was pretty funny!

Visit With Dylan

Today Ethan and I went to the Ramsey's new house for lunch. We had a great time, it was fun to get the boys together. Dylan is so cute and is talking up a storm, it is fun to see what we have coming our way with Ethan. Dylan loves to give Ethan hugs and kisses, he was so sweet.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Eating Christmas Eve Dinner

I'm not spoiled...

Look at me I'm walking...

Dressed up for Christmas

Getting into more trouble

Ethan's first Christmas was really fun! On Christmas Eve we went to Larrs' aunt and uncle's house, it was really fun. The food was delicious and it was fun to see the boys play around with all there new things. Ethan enjoyed opening presents and then climbing up on them. From all that hard work he was tired and took a nap with Grandpa on the couch.
On Christmas morning we went to my parents' house for presents and breakfast. Ethan had more presents then the rest of us put together. He loved the wrapping paper and all the bows. His favorite gift was the lion walker he received from Santa. He loves it and walks with it all over the house. It is really funny to see him walking upright, rather than crawling on the ground.
I can't believe it has almost been a year! WOW! He continues to amazes us each day, he has a great personality. He is quite the charmer, he will blow kisses now! It is so cute! We are busy planning his birthday party...
