Three Stages of a Lion's Fan

Hey they are winning! Maybe this is the week???





Tired . . . big yawn . . . the game is getting boring.



Crying . . . 0-7. Maybe next week?!?!

We went on our first road trip with Grandma up to our cottage. It was winterized a week ago so we went up and did the final items - clean out the fridge, put plastic over the mattresses, etc. It was so beautiful with the leaves changing color. We hope next summer we will get to enjoy it more that this past one. Daddy is excited to teach Ethan how to fish!

On the way back from the cottage we stopped to vist my cousin Kerri, her husband, Scott and their 18 month old, Nicholas. Nicholas played with Ethan on his mat and ran circles around him. I know what to prepare for when Ethan is his age. Wow, so much energy!

I am just chilling in my swing.

Ethan definately likes being held by mommy, but that is ok because mommy loves holding Ethan!

On Monday Ethan went on his first shopping adventure. He was so excited he slept the entire time we were out. Once we got home he needed a nap from the outing!


Ethan is now lifting his head on his own and becoming more alert. He is starting to grasp things like Mom's hair, Grandma's necklace . . .

Grandma is playing with Ethan and his swing. As the mobile was going around Ethan kept reaching for the leaves on it. He was sucessful and grabbed it. He is starting to smile a bit too.

We went on an outing Wednesday and Ethan is now heavy enough to be carried in the baby carrier. He seemed to enjoy it as he put his head on my chest and slept. I enjoyed it as I was getting exercise without having to go to the gym!

Bath Time

Once I put Ethan in his tub, he was unsure whether he liked it or not. It didn't take too long for the verdict to come in . . .

Once we were finished we put him in his swing and life was good again.
