Pool Time

We finally got a little pool for Ethan to play in since it has been getting hotter. He loves getting in and out of it and splashing in it but he's not a fan of actually sitting in it. Jellybean just thinks it's a really big water bowl and likes to drink out of it. Here are a few pictures of the first time we got it out.

Warmer Days are Finally Here

The first warm day we had, we headed out to the park. Ethan LOVES going down the slide. He climbs up the steps to the slide (with help), sits down, slides down, gets up, runs back to the stairs, and does it all over again. He will do this for as long as you let him.

Taking a break

After sliding we went swinging. He likes to go high and look down at the ground. He just smiles and giggles the whole time.

After swinging on the baby swings we tried the big swings. He really liked it and got pretty comfortable swinging on mommy's lap.

He got so comfortable that he fell completely asleep. We had to wake him up to put him back in the stroller. Of course, he never went back to sleep when we went home for a nap after his short power nap on the swings.

Snow Fun in Ohio

Back in the first week of March, Ethan went to spend the week in Ohio. There was still a lot of snow on the ground so he spent a lot of time outside with Grandma and Grandpa Crowder. He got to walk back in the woods, go sledding, and make snow angels. Here's a few of the pictures they took.

Time to go sledding!

PB and J

Ethan's very first peanut butter and jelly sandwich was a success. He LOVED it. However, afterwards we had to completely strip him down and give him a bath. I have no idea how he got it in the places he had it in!

Warning: Contains Nudity

This is what I was greeted with when I came home from work one day. Just thought I'd share.

Video Games Already??

I fear that Ethan is truly becoming a boy. When Ethan sees Jonathan playing video games, he now crawls up next to him on the couch and plays with a controller that Jonathan has taken the batteries out of. He will intently watch Jonathan to see what he is doing with his controller and try to mimic him. After I took this picture, Ethan saw Jonathan moving the joystick with his thumb, so he put his thumb on the joystick and started moving it. He then looked up at the tv to see what he was making it do.

Better Family Pictures

Since I HATED the last family pictures that we took, when a great deal at The Picture People came along, I took it. I had us go back for more pictures, much to the chagrin of both Jonathan and Ethan. However, when they were done, even Jonathan admitted that they were MUCH better than the ones we took this summer. We got several poses taken but since The Picture People changed their website around, I can no longer copy and paste the pictures so I just scanned in the couple of poses that we bought.
