E's Half Birthday!



We celebrated Ethan's half birthday by swimming at Aunt Judy's house!



Playing with cousin Matthew



"Loving on" Matthew, or eating him.  The jury is still out on that one. :)


The babies had had enough and were so ready for naps.
Perfect photo-op with Aunt Alli!

Father's Day

I had a lot of fun doing this little project for Dean. He is proudly displaying the pictures on his desk at work. 
I think he had a great first Father's Day.

Ethan is wearing mostly 3-6/6 months clothes with a couple 6-9 month items.

Loves cuddling with a paci and his lovey to go down for a nap.
He has started to make da-da noises and lots of squealing.  Love that he is finding his voice.
Sitting up like a champ! He is so sturdy and strong.

 We started solid foods at around 5.5 months.
So far, Ethan has enjoyed oatmeal, bananas, carrots, green beans, and banana puffs.
He has started to figure out how to get water out of his sippy cup.



Favorite toys:
Stacking cups- we build a tower and he loves knocking it down.
LOVES reading books!
Shapes sorting toy-- he loves the lid.
Likes to hang out in his Jumper toy.  We call it his laboratory, it's where he works on his experiments. :)
