Playing with Hayden

Tonight Hayden and his parents came over for dinner. Ethan and Hayden had so much fun playing together...even though they were playing with the most annoying toy ever made! Thanks for a fun evening guys!

Today we went over to Dylan's house to play. Ethan and Dylan ended up watching Sesame Street on his sister's princess couch. So cute!

Pismo Beach Part Two

Today when we woke up we headed to San Luis Obispo and walked around their cute little town. When everyone was ready to leave beautiful Pismo, we left and went to State Street in Santa Barbara to shop. Then we stopped in Ventura and ate dinner at the Busy Bee Cafe. All in all it was a great trip with great people. Ethan had such a great time and misses his Aunt Peaches!

Pismo Beach Part One

Today me and Ethan left for Pismo Beach with some of Dan's mom's family that were in town from the east coast. We had such a nice and relaxing vacation. Ethan LOVED playing in the sand (I believe it was his first time). He had so much fun running all over the beach.

Here is my handsome little man

Jade & Mike's Wedding

Today was Dan's sister Jade's wedding. Ethan had the privilege of being the Ring Bearer. He did such a great job! He strolled down the aisle this time with the Flower Girl. They were both 1 1/2. Ethan took a quick nap during the ceremony after his duty was done and then he was ready to party at the reception. I didn't realize that we had such a little party animal on our hands. He was the first one on the dance floor and the last one to leave it once the reception was over. He seriously danced the whole night! He loved the photographers. Whenever he would see one he would do his "cheese face" for them. All in all it was a fabulous night! Congratulations Jade and Mike!!!

The Rehearsal

This evening was the rehearsal for Dan's sister's wedding. Ethan did an amazing job. He actually sprinted down the aisle. His motivation for getting down the aisle so quickly was the drum set at the end. We couldn't keep him away from it!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We wish you all a very

Happy Valentine's Day!

Ethan's Half Birthday

I am so sad that my little baby has turned 1 1/2 today. He is no longer a little baby! He finally had a growth spurt and is now in the 75th percentile for height (he was always in the 25th) and he has stayed in the 10th percentile for weight. He grew 3 inches and gained 2 pounds since his last doctors visit three months ago. To celebrate this huge milestone (since when is 1 1/2 a huge one?) we went to Picture People to have some photos taken and then he got to ride on a cheetah with daddy.

These are all pictures of pictures so sorry for the poor quality. You can click on them to make them larger.

This one is my favorite.

I couldn't figure out how to rotate it though.

Ethan wanted to ride the cheetah this time.

Sorry Dan for cutting your head off!

Ethan's Cheese Face

Ethan we love you more than you will ever know. You are such an amazing little guy who is growing up way too fast. We love your sense of humor and your special way of always making us laugh. Thank you for always being such a happy and easy going guy. Happy Half Birthday to you!
