ETHAN SPEAKS

GOOD LOOKING GUY

Ethan decided to get dressed up for Nana's last night as we took her out to dinner. All the girls just love him.

JOKIN WITH DADDY

Ethan loves to hangout and trade dirty jokes with dad, as you can see.

SUP?

It's not a prison outfit, no matter how much it may resemble one. But if you can't tell by this photo, Ethan is becoming quire a brute. At last measurement, he (unofficially) was at 25 inches, and 14 pounds, eight ounces. Amazing to us, too.

HAPPY FAMILY

Nana captured a picture of the happy family all together on the sofa. Look at Ethan's feet in his shoes...aren't they huge?

NANA'S VISIT

Nana came to visit this past week, and while Ethan likes his independence, he did let her hold him for a little while, and sat right beside her on the sofa.

BIG BOY

OK, so the big boy doesn't look real happy, but he was sitting on the sofa like a big boy and staring at the flashing thing mom was holding, pointing in his direction.

BIG GUMS SMILE

Yes ladies and gentlemen, this is what Tara likes to call Ethan's "Big Gums Smile." The good news is he's working a pair of teeth in the bottom now.

SAFARI MAN

Ethan sported his new safari outfit the other day, and of course mom and dad couldn't resist a good photo op.

I THOUGHT THEY'D NEVER LEAVE!

So mommy, daddy, and Ethan were watching TV in bed one night. When mom and dad came back after brushing their teeth and taking Bear out, Ethan had claimed the whole bed for himself. At least he looks comfortable.

THE SMILES OF ETHAN

So Ethan has a few different smiles. Above is the "I like that face that you're making" smile.
This is the "Oh this is lots of fun let me hide my face" smile.
And this is the "look at my gums" smile. I should add that I decided not to include the "this is the last smile you get because you keep flashing that camera in my face" smile.

SLEEPY TIME

After all the smiling all day, Ethan asked to be wrapped up an put in bed.

MOOOOMMMMMM!!!

Yeah, it may look like he's trying to get away from mom. But really, Ethan's just trying to show everyone how well he can control his head. Isn't he doing a great job?

NOT THE SAME PICTURE

You might not be able to tell, but these actually are different pictures taken a few minutes apart. Like we said, he's in his smiley phase!

SMILEY PHASE

Yes, Ethan has officially hit his smiley phase. He likes to smile, especially when you make faces at him.

ETHAN BEFORE BED

Here's a chance to see Ethan in action.

ETHAN AT DINNER

SMILEY GUY

Ethan's been showing off his smile lately. And of course, there's plenty to smile about. The doctor said at his last appointment he's developing well. He's two months old now and sizing out at 24 inches and he weighed in at 12 pound, 15 ounces. So, yeah, he's a big kid so far.

DANGER!

Yes, Ethan's pants say DANGER across the butt area. Here he is with mom, happy to be home after a day at daycare.

BINKY MY BINKY

Ethan really enjoys his binky. I think it might be because he really can't do too much else at this point. Here he is, with mom and his binky!
