Eating Apples

I could watch him crunch on apple slices all day! He can eat anywhere between a quarter to a half of an apple in a sitting. It's his new favorite.
Other food favorites these days are pears, pbj sandwiches, chocolate pudding (who doesn't love that?), string cheese, and dried cranberries.

Hello again

After a loooong hiatus, we'll give this another try. I'm hoping to continue to this blog to update family and friends on all the happenings of our family.

So what's new? Well, we're watching a lot of football today (a lot these past few weekends, actually) Today we said goodbye to the Seahawks season, but Ethan has perfected the high five, has recently learned "the fist bump," and can cheer with the rest of us when a favored team runs the ball in for the touchdown. Sometimes this includes running around waving his blankie wildly, yelling "Gooooooo!"

"Guck"

Yes, guck is the word around here:

Ethan and his guck...

Thanks to Hannah for the awesome present... also to Auntie Michelle for the puppy dog hat.

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:
