games

I've been taking tons of video lately because Ethan loves to play games and it's so fun to watch and play with him.

First game that we like to do is give high fives!

Actually the first time he really did it by himself I said "YAY" so loud that it scared him and he started to cry. So now I have to make sure it's a quiet, happy yay.

Next game is one that Ethan initiates most of the time, so it's hard to catch. He started shrugging his shoulders and then I'll shrug back and he'll shrug back at me. It's so funny and random when he does it. In the video he actually shrugs at the same time I do at first, so the camera is jiggling around. I showed Steve what he's doing, so now he does it for daddy too, and actually does it all the time now.

It's so cute, he'll give us a little sideways glance and then shrug, and watch to see if we shrug back. So quirky.

Last game that is so fun, is singing together. I'll post it here, because it's too long for blogger.

at least we know where he gets it from...

Saige visits Ethan

My sister in law Laura got an amazing opportunity yesterday! She won a free makeover from a local salon! Check out her beautiful pictures here. I got to watch my niece Saige and she and Ethan had some fun with each other... well, except for this one moment :(



Don't worry, this next video that was taken literally less than 60 seconds (I checked the time stamp even) after the first one was taken. The situation resolved very nicely and quickly.




Saige decided to eat and Ethan later went down for a nap :)

family visits!

I didn't get the greatest pictures, I'll have to snatch some from everyone else that took them! We had a great visit with Steve's grandpa, grandma, aunt and uncle who were visiting from Colorado this past weekend.

throwing stuff

New skill - throwing. New quirk - touching an object to his forehead before he throws it :)

scooting backward

Just in the past few days Ethan has started to scoot backward :) He looks like a fish out of water when he does it, haha. When I took this video, he had started out in the spot where I was sitting so his little scootches are getting him far!

just cause...

...he's so cute :)
