Here's what we've been up to

We've played outside in the snow, made a snowman and gone sledding.

This is from when it had just snowed a ton.

It's fun just to pull his sled over the sidewalks.

And, even when the snow is melting, it is still tons of fun!

King of the Hill!

Making another snowman.

"What exactly is this thing supposed to be?!?"

Snowy, Sun, & Smiles

Had our first poker party since last January 6th- not like I'm keeping track, but I was 5 months pregnant, feeling very preggo, not able to enjoy any tasty beverages, and very tired by 9:00, even though the games went on till about 2 in the morning. This year, baby was sleeping and everything was good, especially being able to enjoy the night with our friends and some of B's coworkers!

"Check out these rockets! That's right, I said I'm ALL IN! Man, these chips sure are tasty. Good thing I'm not up against this guy.....

...the Pro. Hey, aren't those some of Mommy's chips?!?"
Good thing B won all the games otherwise I'd be asking for those chips back :)

She was about a 2day old peanut last time we played;)

Cute pic!

Food for Thought:

Since everybody's asking. Here's a pic of what Ethan eats in a meal.
The first course, in its frozen form, is carrots, sweet potato, chicken, broccoli.
The second course is Ethan's favorite- pear (I think this one happens to be Bartlett).
...In addition, to one 3/4cup sippy H2O, 4oz formula, yogurt or cheese, and a couple of finger foods (cheerios, puffs, yogurt melts, wheat bread, fruits, or a combination thereof).

Playing with his Buddies:

We met up with the Padgetts one day for a stroll around the mall and play time at the kiddie play area. I think Ethan loved this sporty red convertible. Liam & Ethan.

It was so cute watching Liam crawl around like a pro and Ethan trying to chase him with his little steps.
The Best of Buds.
Eli, and Liam came over to play. It's so amazing watching them grow up together.
Aren't Eli's overalls the cutest?!

Stepping out on his own:

Ethan got some walkers from his Aunt on Sunday. It's taken a couple of days to warm up to them. Yesterday he walked only with one of us holding his waist. Today he was able to push and take a couple of steps on his own. This was later in the evening and he's about spent.

Feel free to mute the video, otherwise you'll have to listen to me goo-goo over Ethan.
