Catching Up a Little More......

Since I have the Internet and some time (Ethan is sleeping:) I can update a little more. Ethan has another first besides his tooth.....he is saying "mom" and it is so cute! At first we weren't sure if he was really saying it, but now we know that he definitely is! We are now working on "da-da", but currently has no interest! We know he loves his daddy though, he LOVES playing "get my feet" with dad all the time. He anticipates dad coming and laughs way before Jim is even near him. Another new thing about Ethan that Jim and I find a little sad is that he does not like to cuddle anymore. When nap or bedtime come he wants to be fed and then put in his crib so he can put himself to sleep. I mean I know that sounds great, and it is, but we do miss that sweet cuddling time that we have had. There still are times that we sneak in cuddling though!

Ethan got his first professional portrait taken the other day (Thanks Ken, Tom, Bud, and Sharon!!) and he did fairly well. We walked away with a great photo! The photographer was like, "Does he sit still?" The answer we gave was, "No, not really." Even though he tried to get out of everything or crawl all around, he loves standing on things and that was the pose that ended up with and it was super cute! Loves standing on furniture and of course catching up on the latest news with Meradith Viera!!:)

I am so excited because a lot of my friends are going to have babies!! Congrates to JoLynn, John, and Maren who are expecting this July! Bethany I can't wait to hear the good news in March and then Angie is close behind in April!:) You all are or will be great mommies!

Also I big CONGRATULATIONS to Mindy and Aaron, some great friends of ours who are going to be married this August! I am so excited to be part of it and can't wait for August to get here:) Another big shout out to Stephanie and Bryan who will be married in September and Ashely and Matt who are also getting married next summer.....congrates everyone!!:)

Lastly, I have to thank my wonderful husband. He thought that I needed a safe place to showcase all of my scrapbooks ( I knew that he loved them!). So while he had some time he built me a beautiful scrapbook cabinet. It could not have turned out more perfect. I really appreciate it Jim!!

My beautiful cabinet!

Here are a few more pictures.....

This is HUGE! Ethan has been so afraid of Grandpa Biener for whatever reason and this was the first time that Ethan would let Grandpa Biener play with him!
Ethan is on love with this book....we read it like five times a day and mom and dad have it memorized we read it so much."Mmmmmmmm....mac 'n' cheese my favorite!""Hmmm everytime I go near this thing it blows air in my face??""I love when Aunt Kelly visits, I miss you!"Ethan and Avery (our friends adorable one year old) had fun playing together:)"FEED ME!" Great-grandma and "regular grandma" , as Jim would say as a kid, were feeding Ethan some yummy dinner.
