WATERMELON!!!

Yep...he hit the watermelon hard my friends.

FRUITY KID

Ethan LOVES fruit. Below you can see watermelon, banana and oranges. His favorite is probably bananas. But he doesn't like to eat it without the peel. If you give him half of a banana, it had better be the half that still has the peel or you are in for a world of hurt. Don't ask, just take our word for it.

THE BEST (AND WORST) GIFT EVER

Grandma Sharon and Grandpa Max sent a great gift over for Ethan for Easter. This crayola gift had musical eggs that released a washable paint when the ends were tapped. Unfortunately, the warnings basically tell you to make a place specifically for this playing event to take place. As you can see by Boots running away and the paint all over Ethan's fingers, it was "fun." We can't wait to play when we come back to visit Grandma and Grandpa's house!

I KNOW THESE PEOPLE

It's a picture from Tara and JR's wedding.

KING OF THE COUCH!

Ethan has learned how to climb onto furniture. Here he claims the throne as King of the Couch. He also likes to expand to take the coffee table (which really makes mom mad) and the chairs.

CAUGHT RED-HANDED

What? I wasn't about to stick my hand in the dog's water dish. I definitely wouldn't even consider the possibility of taking a piece of dog food and sticking it in my mouth. You should probably just trust me and turn away...

...after all, would this face lie?

MORE MEASURING...AND RUBBING IT IN

Like I said, his toys pretty well dominate the entire apartment...here, he's laughing and smiling while he takes the tape measure to inspect the next toy location.

TRAINED RIGHT

I think we're teaching Ethan everything just right...he seems to already know how to check the oil on his lawnmower and make it go...by the time we actually get a yard, he should be a pro!

PLANNING IT OUT

So, Ethan's toys have pretty well over-run the apartment...I'm pretty sure here he was just making sure there was enough room for the next shipment.

GO SUN YEOB

SGT Kim Sun Yeob, the KATUSA that works with JR, is a goal-scoring fiend. He played on the unit soccer team during KATUSA/US Friendship week, where each unit faced off against others and scored four of the team's nine total goals for the tournament. The 19th took second place.

CAN'T SEE ME

Ethan likes to hide out sometimes. Here, he's using the dino for cover.

ROCK STAR?

The daily report from daycare states Ethan is playing an "instrument." We're thinking it must be the drums, because he likes to pound on everything and the other night he was using two pens like drum sticks...hmm.

CRAZY GUYS

Not bad for a self-taken picture of the boys, eh?

HAPPY ETHAN

Ethan loves to take containers out of the cupboards and put his magnets in them. See how happy it makes him.

BEFORE AND AFTER

Ethan got his first haircut this weekend. Let's face it, he was getting a little shaggy. The new 'do looks pretty good. He's still got more than the old man (or even his old man, for that matter).

BEFORE

AFTER

GETTING READY FOR A BATH

Ethan really loves his baths, and his been more proactive in getting prepared for them lately. He'll wave goodbye to the pets...then help put his toys in the tub...and then smile with anticipation!

SWING BATTER BATTER

Ethan's getting the hang of this whole baseball thing. He likes to take the ball off the tee and throw it, but he also likes to give it a good whack with the bat, too.
