UP CLOSE

Finally, an up close shot of Ethan where you can see his eye color. We're almost at the six month point, which means those baby blues are almost locked in!

SMILE!

Ethan shows off his smile daily to mommy and daddy, and today he decided to share it with the world.

MR BUNNY

Mommy found a new toy bunny that does lots of new stuff. Here, Ethan's trying to check him out and see what he can get the bunny to do.

NOT A FAN

Ethan has made it known he's not a fan of being on his stomach. Here, he's working on rolling off of it.

UP AND OVER

Ethan likes to play on the floor with all his toys. Here, he looks like the Babyzilla that he is, rising above all the carnage of his toys!

YO, WHASSUP!

Yeah, sometimes he gets a little attitude, but let's face it, between his mommy and daddy, he didn't have a choice. Here he's doing something else he loves to do now, grab his foot!

SITTING ON THE SOFA

Ethan's getting better and better at sitting like a big boy. He especially loves to be surrounded by his toys!

AT THE ARMY BIRTHDAY BALL

Tara and JR at the Army Birthday Ball. Of course she looks great, and he doesn't look too bad either.

PFC KIM AND HIS DATE

This is JR's KATUSA, PFC Kim, and his girlfriend, Hee Yung Bang. She made the trip from Seoul for the Army Birthday Ball.

SUPER SERGEANTS

SGT Bates and SGT Shappell, saving the world one soldier at a time.

TWO MEMBERS OF JR'S SHOP

On the left is SFC Vess, JR's NCOIC, and on the right is PFC Wrobel, JR's soldier.

FIRST GO AT BABY FOOD

Okay, so Ethan turned 5 months old on Saturday, which meant he was allowed to start baby food. It didn't go too bad, but we have to keep working on it.

LEARNING TO CRAWL

Ethan doesn't really do the whole crawling thing. Sometimes he'll push himself over to his stomach, and other times he'll just give up and lay there. Here, he's actually decided this is a good position to watch TV from.

UP TO NO GOOD

Daddy and Ethan like to hang out on the sofa together. You can see by the look on dad's face, the two of them are simply up to no good.

SLEEPING WITH EYEORE

Ethan likes to take a nap every now and then, and usually he loves to cuddle up with Eyeore. Good purchase, mom!
