So I am trying to keep up with this silly little blog of ours probably more for our sake than anyone else's, but I thought I would just pop on here and put another little update, I mean our little boy is a week shy of being 1/2  of a year old, and I always feel like there is so much going on, strangely since I started typing I can't seem to think of anything to say, so I will just post some picture updates since those are way more exciting than words, and go from there!

Teething has begun, and with it has come a whole new little monster...I love him, but he can be a little frightening lately...(i.e. the pictures above=typical day) on the upside, he is absolutely adorable and is learning new tricks all the time, well when he's not insisting on being held. He has so much personality starting to show through and I am starting to be a little afraid because this kid has got some spunk. He rolls over really well both ways, but rarely chooses to do so, I think out of stubbornness, he is very possessive of his things, including sippy cup, spoons, toys, etc. If you try to take something from him, he lets you know you've wronged him unforgiveably. 

He sits up pretty well on his own and loves reading books. His favorite book, ok I only have about 3 books for him, but the one he likes best of those three is this snowman book- for some reason he thinks it is the best thing since mommas milk!

he LOVES playing with this ball- and I love the faces he makes!

A smile!!! Rarely caught on camera without half his body being blurry because he's always in motion!

We decided to take a close up family picture- and what are the odds that mom and dad would be having trouble but the baby is perfectly positioned and ready to go- he positioned himself so well!

his new high chair which puts him right with us at the table

David tried to set himself on fire while starting up the grill- he singed his eyebrows, eyelashes, front of his hair and all his arm hair...it smelled awful and it looks hysterical!

Ethan also loves his hiking pack which he is actually big enough for now...looking forward to the summer, but he just loves his daddy and being right there on his daddy's back is too wonderful for words, and I'm sure even if he could use words, he wouldn't! Anyway there you have it, we're just livin' the dream- just the three of us and life couldn't get any better!
