Ethan likes to bite the spoon and not give it back!
That's what you get for feeding me green beans Grandma!
8.5 months

Mmmm, baby cheese crunchies.

Ethan has 5.5 teeth now, and 2 others are starting to poke through!

Crash - he seemed comfortable!

First bites of ice cream at Hickory Park in Ames!

Hehehehe Daddy....I have the keys to the car!

Ethan was not interested in wearing pants that day.

Dakota (Aunt Jessi's new puppy) and Ethan waiting to see who is at the door!
I love that their hair is the same color!

Um, you are letting the bugs in!
One of our neighbors actually came over and knocked on the siding while Mike was at Menards!
Labor Day 2009

Notice the safety glasses are on his head. Real smart.

Dave kindly came over to help - he received a large share of Buffalo Wild Wings in return!

After a layer of saw dust throughout the entire house, it's finally going to fit!

The door is in, level, and he didn't crack any tile or brick!

Drinking my bottle and holding onto a shoe.
Silly kid

How am I going to get to the other side of the room?

Peek a boo!

Pestering Maggie as usual

Sipping my sippy cup - more like biting it, but whatever!

Splashing away!

Hi Mom! I can't turn my head anymore because of this neck brace thing!
Safety first is such a pain!

Getting ready to jump in the big bath tub!

Trying to get a picture before going swimming!

Who is that monkey in the mirror?

Being goofy

Ethan's favorite attraction at the zoo was the waterfall!

Comfy nap!

Ethan likes to get all his toys out - especially after Mommy picks them all up!

Here he goes try to be a puppy again!

Mommy and Ethan on game day

Sept 3rd - Go State!

Leave me alone. Really.

Whoa, what is this thing in the mirror?

The front of his shirt says "naughty." Wonder why...

Walking along the couch

He has discovered how to put toys in his mouth and let go...we think he has learned this from the Mags.

He fell asleep sitting up, but slumped over onto his Curious George Monkey. Hey, when you are tired, you are tired.
