THERE THEY ARE!

Finally, a happy baby not trying to grab the camera, posing with his teeth for all the world to see. A pretty good shot, mom.

TRYING TO FIND THE TEETH

So, mommy and daddy knew people desperately wanted to see these teeth they'd been bragging up, so they went on a hunt. Can anyone see them in here?

MORE HORNS

I mean, come on. It was kind of mean, but at the same time, we couldn't resist getting more pictures of this occurance.

WHAT HAPPENED?!?!

Okay, so typically when you pick your BOY up from daycare, he doesn't have bands in his hair. Of course, we are in Korea, and these things happen. So, this is the after effect. A horned and astonished Ethan.

MINE! MINE!

So everyone remembers the seagulls in Finding Nemo saying "Mine, Mine." That's now Ethan with our camera...and our remote control...and our phones - among other things.

SMIRKY

A pretty good shot of Ethan's smirk...He was probably doing so baby talk under his breath. He does this from time to time.

ETHAN STILL ON THE GO!

Yep, Ethan's still on the go. As you can see, he doesn't always like to be interrupted when he's "going," but every now and then we get a smile-by as he goes.

PLAYING ON THE FLOOR

Ethan and dad get some play time on the floor pretty much every night. You can see he's got quite a start to a collection to choose from.

STILL GROWING

Ethan actually looks a little like a Shappell in the top photo. But don't stare too long, he gets offended, if you couldn't tell by his bib.
You can see in both pictures he has ahold of his toes. Yeah, he's still got that little habit. Oh well.

HAPPY TO BE HOME

Ethan's usually exhausted by the time his bath is done at night because they just tucker him out at daycare. But he's also usually pretty happy at that time, just before bed. Yep, he was smiling here.

RUB-A-DUB-DUB, ETHAN IN THE TUB

Ethan's starting to really enjoy his tub time. He splashes and gets mommy and daddy almost as wet as he is. He's improved leaps and bounds from the first few times he bathed in the big tub, when he would cry.

ETHAN ON THE GO!

Ethan's loving his new walker. He gets to go all over the apartment now.
Here he pauses for a smile as dad takes a shot from behind Bear.
Here he sees the cat on the chair and starts to make a move for her.
And here he's on his way to see mommy and daddy.

ETHAN THE MOVIE BUFF

So when Tara told JR she got into everything when she was little, he didn't know quite what to expect with Ethan. But now it's began, and we're beginning to see a preview of what the little guy's going to do. He discovered the movie selection, and you can see he decided he wasn't into "Marie Antoinette" and "The Matrix Reloaded." However, in the second picture, as he flashes the mischevious grin, he's got ahold of "Michael Clayton." Not a bad choice.

ETHAN AND THE CAT

Ethan's become really interested in the little orange thing running around the house. So, mommy finally helped him track down Boots, our kitty. And while it looks like Ethan and mommy were having lots of fun, I think Boots could have done without this encounter.

ETHAN'S NEW WALKER

So Ethan liked walking so much we decided it was time to get him a walker. This was a chore in Korea, because our on-post store doesn't carry any. So, we ventured off post, because the cost to ship one over here was really high. The first stop was E-Mart, where they tried to give us a pink walker because they only had one blue walker left. So, on to High Mart we went, where we settled on this blue one. He has no complaints.

SMILEY GUY!

Yeah, of course, Ethan's still smiling. And yes, of course, he's still got those baby blues (and we're still working on the teeth).

ETHAN ON THE BED

Ethan enjoys just sitting and playing sometimes.
He can really make lots of fun out of just some sheets or blankets.
Is that not the chubby face of fun?!

CHILLIN ON THE CHAIR

Ethan likes to sit on the chair...actually he likes to sit anywhere you let him, as long as he has toys.

SWIMMING!!!

Above is SIR Splash-a-lots.
"EHHHHH...BFFFFFFF"
HAHAHAHA Ahhhh.

ETHAN'S FIRST SWIM

Both Tara and JR had off for the Fourth of July, so we decided it was as good a time as any to take Ethan for his first swim. You can see when JR was holding him he was already eyeing the huge bath tub, er, pool. And then he didn't seem to mind his crab floaty at all.
