Pumpkin Patch 2010

What a difference a year makes :)

Walking adventures

My little boy is one!

Here are a few pictures from our impromptu photo shoot at the park on Ethan's birthday

Fun on the patio

Continuing with the fun theme:

Fun in pajamas!

Fun with friends

Ethan and his little friend Hannah had a blast at Woodland Park Zoo's Zoomazium last week. Top animal exhibit at the zoo?... the Meerkats were a big hit. They are Meercute. At times they're still a little young at times to get excited about certain exhibits. The other day for instance, Ethan was more interested in the flies on the Plexiglas than the lions on the other side of the glass enclosure. Also a big hit at the zoo? Ethan and Hannah enjoyed crawling around in the dirt and on the ground.... who needs animals when there's concrete to explore, right?

Fun at the zoo

Alright it's time to catch up. We've had an awesome summer and I can't believe how lucky I am to have Ethan as my little buddy to love, play with, cuddle with and just enjoy watching as he grows into a little boy. Here are some pictures of Noah and Ethan at the zoo:

9 month checkup!

Ethan is turning into such a little boy and not the little baby that he used to be.

At his 9 month checkup he was 17 pounds, 4 ounces and 27 inches tall. He's a little on the small side, but he is at least on the growth charts.

Here are some pictures of our camping trip and time with the family.

Crawling for real!

First few strides:

Getting it down!
