Finally...a new post with pictures!

Me and my Daddy
















A typical Sunday afternoon - sleepin' with Daddy




















Playin' with Aunt Andee before bed





















All smiles after waking up from his nap

Ok, so it took way too long to get an update with pictures, I know. But I finally got my pictures off the camera and ready to upload. It's been pretty hectic here. Now that band is over, I've been spending some time trying to catch up on stuff around the house.


What's new with Ethan: He has officially reached the phase of separation anxiety. While I love his hugs and kisses and constant closeness, it can be really hard to do anything around the house when you can't put him down. He cries and crawls up my leg when I put him down...and gives me the pathetic face: "please Mommy, don't leave me or I'm sure I'll die!!!" And for the past three weeks, he's been dead set on getting up at least 3 times during the night. Last night, he got up 3 hours after I put him down, and was just about to scream his little head off. So I laid down with him on the couch, gave him some juice, and ended up falling asleep there with him until 3:30am when he woke up again. So I finally got him back to sleep and took him to his bed...only to wake up again at 6:30am. I can't decide if it's new teeth coming in, or that he wakes up and is scared that he's alone...or what it is. But I'm ready for this phase to pass! :)

Halloween was another adventure! We had 5 stops to make: Grandma's and Grandpa's, Great Grandma's and Grandpa's, and Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Andee's houses. If you can imagine a hungry cow who can't stand to sit still, or be taken in and out of the carseat, and only wants to be held by Mom and Dad...but everyone else is wanting to hold him...then you can understand how our evening was. But when it was all over with, and we finally made it back home, it was a pretty fun night. I'm trying to add a video also, so we'll see how that goes.
