Little Sneak

I love that Ethan is exploring the world. Today while I was at the gym, Jeff took some pictures of the little guy exploring our fridge. (It's a mess, I know) He looks quite pleased with himself! He loves sneaking past us when we are in the fridge.

Zoo

We love the zoo! With all of the beautiful weather this past month, we have been doing a lot outside, including the zoo. Love love love it!

We love the gorilla's. They are our favorite!

What a cute boy!

Hair Cut

Our baby got his first big boy hair cut. His Nana is a hair dresser and scheduled him his own appointment. He and Daddy both got cuts. So cute! Ethan had a HUGE spider bite on his cheek, but still cute as a button!

Daddy's Helper

Our boy is truly Jeff's son. He loves the guitar like daddy, but also loves computers and helping Daddy fix him. He'll stay with Daddy for hours helping him! Daddy sometimes works in the garage on his work bench and Ethan loves going out there to help him. He even has his own keyboard, mouse and flashlight to help! A future geek! I love it! :)

Stud

So my little man has his first little suit. I have been looking for a cute one and finally found one when we went to Chicago. I got it at a funny little store called Farm and Fleet. I was surprised because it's a little dump of a store that is mostly farm equipment. But I don't care, she sure looks like a little stud!

Little stinker has dress shoes but ALWAYS takes off his right shoe! He's so proud to show us he took it off.

10 Months

Ethan's 10th month was a big month for him! He learned so many new tricks and has just blossomed so quickly! We came home from Illinois and all at once he:

Cut his first tooth (and had his second within a week!)
Started crawling EVERYWHERE!
Started pulling himself up on anything that doesn't move
Started standing on his own, until he realizes he isn't actually holding on to something
Started eating tons of big people food
Feeding himself, or so he thinks
Started to throw big boy fits
Started to get into EVERYTHING
Got his first hair cut
Learned to clap on command
Learned to wave on command
Can play patty-cake by himself
Is on more of a napping and sleeping schedule! Wonderful!
Learned to share, including his food.

He loves saltine crackers. When he first started to eat them, he loved the crunching sound. His first few crunches, he would "freeze" - he would stick his arms and legs straight out and only move his mouth until the crunching stopped. It was hilarious.

He really has certain likes and dislikes now. He hates peaches, won't even let me attempt to feed them to him. He loves the park. He zooms his little walker all around. He LOVES the play area in the mall. We usually go about 11 or 11:30 and don't leave until they kick us out at 2. He plays the whole time. He usually falls asleep before we get out of the parking lot. He loves the dogs, really any animal. He has a funny bond with Buster. He ooooo's and aaaaa's when Buster comes around. He loves being outside. He likes to go, go, go. He doesn't care if it's on a walk in the neighborhood or going to the store. He just likes going.

He is such a cute boy. He has a ton of personality! We love you Ethan!
