Five Whole Days

This weekend was a huge first for our little family. Ethan went to Ohio to visit the in-laws for FIVE WHOLE DAYS! It was the first time since he's been out of the hospital that he's been away from us for more than a few hours. Ethan got to go to the Apple Festival and hang out with his Uncle Jacob and his future girlfriend, Jenn. He also got to meet some of their good family friends for the first time. I know Ethan enjoyed all the attention and I'm pretty sure his grandparents had fun as well. I don't think they were quite ready to give him back at the end of the weekend!

I was able to get a lot done around the house such as cleaning and organizing some stuff and Jonathan and I were able to go out Saturday night and go shopping for winter clothes for Ethan. We didn't realize how few pants and long sleeve shirts he had until just this past week when the weather started getting cooler. We decided he probably couldn't make it through the whole winter with the 2 pairs of pants and 5 long sleeve shirts he had so we bit the bullet and spent the money. We actually had a lot of fun looking at all the cute clothes and trying to find the best deals. Jonathan even got into it! However, even though we thoroughly enjoyed our little break, we were so ready and excited to get him back Monday night. It's amazing how fast they can change in just a few days. He is now crawling so much faster and doesn't have to think about what body part he needs to move next at all. He now just takes off and is gone!
