1st Birthday Party!

We had about 20 people over for Ethan's first birthday party. We really only took pictures of the cake event.



Notice the Tweety Bird cake...home made with some help from a wonderful mother-in-law:)

Finn had been practising singing happy birthday so he came up to help lead the song and blow out the candles.

Ethan's first taste of refined sugar.....

Wow, that's sweet!

Ethan's 1st Birthday!

We had a party for Ethan two days after his actual birthday (pictures to come). But these photos were taken on his real birthday.

Ethan's become a good little stander.



This is Ethan's new toy from mom and dad. He's just starting to dance when music comes on...it's so cute!



These pictures would suggest that he loves playing on his own. But he's got you fooled...if mom or dad leave the room even for a minute, he let's out a cry and tries to follow us....hopefully this is a phase(?)

Look at the concentration!

Early Birthday Present

We had the good fortune of Jay's mom coming out to "babysit" Ethan while we moved. We didn't move far, we can see our old place from our new place's backyard. So since Jay's mom was here a week before Ethan's 1st birthday, he got to open a present early!

Yes, that's football that Ethan is watching in the background.....and yes his dad is very proud!

A farm! Ethan now knows how to say Moooo and Baaaa.

The first thing Ethan did was dropped all the animals down the silo:)

More walking...

And a few more steps with squeals....

First Steps!

Ethan taking his first few steps....

Ball Throwing

Ethan's first few attempts at throwing a ball....not bad for a little guy.

Ok, so I know it's been a very long time since I last updated the blog. I AM planning on putting up some pictures from the summer and various other times, but I couldn't wait to post a few pics of Ethan's first Halloween! He's such a cute Tigger!!!
