Fun at the Perkins

This evening we went over to the Perkins' house for dinner. The Taylors and Kim and Brennan Givens met us there. What a lovely evening we had while all the kids played. Thanks Perkins!

This is the face Ethan makes when he has done something bad.

What a precious face!

Playing with Julia

Tonight we went over to the Taylors for dinner. Ethan and Julia had a wonderful time playing together as always. Whenever we drive past Julia's street, Ethan freaks out in the car and yells "DITA DITA" (which means Julia in Ethan talk). I am amazed that at 1 1/2 he knows where he is in town and what certain landmarks mean. Here are a few photos from our evening.

Ethan LOVES guitars!

Ethan's on TV

This was the funniest thing! We went to my friend Melody's house today for a play date. Julia (2) got this really neat toy for Christmas. Is is a video camera with music and microphones. Ethan thought it was the coolest thing to see himself on the big screen. He even started waving to himself.

Playing with Delaney

Today I brought out all of Ethan's old infant stuff for Delaney to use. Ethan had so much fun with all of it. I couldn't tell if he actually remembered the stuff or not.

He got a kick out of the mirror.

He didn't quite understand that she was still on

the blanket and that he shouldn't do that.

It is a good thing Delaney didn't mind.

Ethan's new friend

I just started watching my friend, Jackie's, two and a half month old baby. Her name is Delaney and Ethan loves her to pieces. On days that she isn't at our house, he walks around all day saying, "Laney?". It is too cute! He will make a great big brother SOMEDAY! Here is our first outing to the mall. It looks easy right?

Merry-Go-Round

We have finally reached the point in Ethan's life where he knows what the merry-go-round is. We were at the mall today and we were walking past the Gap, which is halfway across the mall. Ethan starts ROARing as loud as he possibly can. We start looking around for a Tiger or a Lion somewhere. Then we realize that he sees the merry-go-round all the way across the mall. Once we get closer he starts yelling all of the animals names/sounds that are on the merry-go-round. "Bebra" "Roar" "(insert elephant noise here)" "Neigh" "Oki (ostrich)" Why he knows what an ostrich is is beyond me. Anyway, we started out on the Lion and then he kept yelling "Bebra" so we moved to the friendly zebra. The whole time while on the merry-go-round he would say, "up" as we went up and "down" as we went down. He never seizes to amaze me! I guess every time we go to the mall now we will have to ride the merry-go-round!

Feeding Dylan

Ethan is really into feeding people food. Here is a picture of Ethan feeding his friend, Dylan, Cheerios.
