Ethan now has 4 teeth - and they are sharp little guys! Word to the wise - try to look in his mouth at your own risk! He is also discovering how to be more mobile. For one, he rolls and rolls and spins and spins around the room and is all over the place. In the last couple of days he has shown us that he knows how to extend his arms to hold himself up, and how to tuck his knees and stick his butt up (see the box pics below). Just tonight Daddy found him on all fours in his crib scooting backwards. This would be a fair sign to move the crib mattress down a notch - and Mike did that immediately! We are thinking a matter of weeks and he'll be everywhere and into everything! Time to baby proof the house!

We met a new friend this weekend - Aiden - he was born on July 4th (to a college friend of Heather's). Ethan was curious and interested for about 2 minutes, barely touched Aiden's foot with that look of "Hmm...this would be something new to put in my mouth." Mommy was very adament that we had "nice touches" with the baby. So, we look forward to playdates with Aiden when he gets a little older (and tougher to withstand the wrath of Ethan!).
