Some of Ethan's New Words

Santa attempt #2

Last night we went to the medmates playgroup Christmas Party and is was a lot of fun, until the scary man in the red suit and white beard appeared out of nowhere! As soon as Santa walked in all the kids were in awe, jumping up and down and we so excited, except for our little man, he started screaming right away! Santa even brought him a present, but he was not getting off his daddy's lap to get! He was going nowhere near that scary Santa!! Poor guy....maybe next year him and Santa will be better friends:) I promise you that we do not torture our son, Santa just happens to be at everything Christmas that we go to!!!Having a great time at the party with his friends Luke and Hailey.Here comes Santa!!All the kids in awe at the man in the red suit!Here in Ethan, crying and holding onto daddy for dear life!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Daddy Time

Hanging out at the playgroup Christmas Party
and of course.....going sledding!!

Ethan and daddy have been real buddies lately!! Ethan loves being around his "dadda" and the feeling is definitely mutual!!

Belly Laughs!

The other night at dinner Ethan would laugh really hard for no reason and it was so hilarious!!! I think that it was grandma and Uncle Mark, but who knows, it was just really cute!:)

Ethan's new Friend

Ethan has a good friend here in Kalamazoo. Her name is Hailey and she is so adorable! Ethan and I get to play with her and her little sister Addison a couple times a month in the afternoon and we have a blast! They play so good together and always have a good time :) In fact, Ethan has met many friends here and enjoys playing with all of them!

That Scary Santa!

Yesterday we went to a Christmas tree farm to pick out a wreath with some of our friends since we are artificial tree people. Ethan had a fun time looking at the trees, the reindeer, and Santa...until we put him on his lap! Family Christmas Picture!!

SNOW!

Now that Ethan has a full set of winter gear, he loves playing outside in the snow! At first he found it hard to walk in his new boots, but now he is a pro. With a heavy blanket of snow on the ground today, we played for almost an hour and he enjoyed every second. He found a shovel and pail and found it entertaining to shovel snow, out it in the pail, dump out the snow and do it all over again! I just plopped myself in a chair and cheered his progress:) I think that I need a pair of snow pants if we are going to be outside for an hour in the cold! I unfortunately did not get any pictures today, but I did manage to get some the other day when we were out there. What can I say, he is just like his father and loves the outdoors in any kind of weather!
