Ethan is Eating Puffs

About a week ago Ethan started eating puffs and wafers. He really likes 'em, but only gets about half of them in his mouth.

CHRISTMAS IS ALMOST HERE!

I'm just excited because everyone else is excited.

I hope Santa brings presents for me, even though I've been a little stinker lately.

Ethan's Ni-Night Bear

I like to play with the tip of his soft cap when I'm tired. He's been in my crib since I was "new," but lately he's my buddy. Thanks, Grandma.

Singing and Reading

I caught the tail end of Katie reading "5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed" the other day. I can't seem to let her see the camera or she stops whatever she's doing and tries to take it so she can snap her own pictures. My favorite part is when she points her finger to say, "No more monkeys jumpin' on da bed!" Her favorite is the last page where the Mama is jumping on the bed.

Santa, Please Visit Our House Anyway

Mommy and Daddy tried (the key word here is TRIED) to visit Santa Claus at the mall last weekend. It did not turn out as we had hoped.


Ethan tolerated sitting with Santa, but burst into tears when he looked at him.


Katie refused to let go of Daddy as soon as we asked her if she wanted to sit with him.

Not gonna lie... Mommy and Daddy were pretty bummed. We really wanted a picture with the jolly fellow.

Male Bonding

Ethan likes to be up high.

And we all know how much he likes to play/pull with hair.

Ethan is On the Move!

Somehow I have not been able to get live video of the little mister crawling, but I have captured his adventures in learning to "walk" with help. So cute! (He's also learned to cruise around furniture. I took some video on my phone but can't seem to get the sound when I try to upload it.)
