1st Haircut - before...
13.5 months

During...

Ok, I don't want to "sit still" anymore!

All Done! No more baby curls (and no more red!)

This is a better pic from when we got home. The red has really gone away and his hair is more blonde now. Cute little boy!

This picture was taken about a year ago...

I remember being so worried that his head would be flat from laying down all the time. Who knew I would continue to worry about his head - now we just have to make sure he doesn't run into things and keep his hair out of his eyes (and actually get his hair cut!). I suppose the next head topic will be intellectual worries - oh my!


No means no, I suppose...

Ethan Michael "Jordan"
13.5 months

He eats "nanas" whole now and his face will forever be dirty and sticky!

Taking all the Kleenexes out of the box - and Maggie is busted too...

Chillin' - he climbed up into the chair while Mike and I were cooking in the kitchen and he just watched the Olympics on TV.


Cheez-Its - another fav of his. I'm sure he thinks its a food group!

Ethan's new tricks:

He said "nana" at daycare while pointing the the fruit dish - that had bananas in it. Also, while grocery shopping this week, he freaked out when we went past the banana bin - heaven!

He knows how to shake his head - it's not "no" quite yet, but it is from practicing eskimo kisses!

When hungry or wants more cheerios, crackers, etc. - he bangs on the pantry door or tugs on his high chair tray from below. He definitely knows what he wants.

"Do you want to go upstairs?" and he will dart towards the steps, move (or try to move) the gate and climb away. This has become our "night-night" ritual. It has also become a "time-out" ritual when he tries to go up without an adult (and no, Maggie doesn't count).

Ethan got a basketball hoop for his birthday. He isn't quite tall enough, so we have to tilt it down a bit for him. He has mastered the slam dunk without mom or dad. Maggie plays defense.

"Where are Daddy's toes?" - he completely understands where everyone's feet/toes are, and he will grab them (aka tickle) and just giggle while doing it. Sometimes, it really does tickle!

He continues to talk on the "phone" - pretty much anything from the real thing to a shoe will act as a phone...he will babble what sounds like hello or hi, and walk away while "chatting." He tends to say "ya, ya" a lot!
The shoe collector!
