Puzzles!

Ethan's new favorite thing is puzzles. I love how excited he gets!

A few videos from this week

I thought I'd post a few fun videos of Ethan from this week from off my phone

Ethan pretending to be a dinosaur! Ethan is in love with Blue's Clues right now, and he watched an episode this week about dinosaurs. Now he likes to imitate them!

It was a warm day yesterday so we went on a walk to get the mail. Ethan was excited! He says "fast", "mail", and "cars"

He was watching me work on a project and he wanted to help out with the screwdriver! He learns so quickly.

Trip to Sacramento

Ethan and I went to visit Jeremy's family in Sacramento a few weeks ago.  We did so much and we had a great time!

He did great on the flights there and back!

Ethan and Toby became instant best friends. Ethan loves to throw the ball and Toby loves to chase it! They played constantly.

Ethan learned how to use a fork. Now he wants to at every meal.

Having a tea party with Mimi!

We went to the Folsom and Sacramento Zoos.  Ethan loved seeing the animals. 

   

 

 

His favorite part was the stairs though. We couldn't tear him away from them!

Ethan sporting his new rain boots from Mimi.  With no pants on.  Quite the fashion statement. 

We went to the park a few times.  Ethan's favorite was the slides.  

He loved seeing the doggies at the dog park. 

Robin bought Ethan this monkey stuffed animal at the zoo.  He started giving it kisses!

Halloween and the Zoo

Here's a picture from last month when Ethan was a raccoon for Halloween. He's playing in the dirt just like a raccoon!

We had a good Thanksgiving break. I had a test on Monday then I had the rest of the week off, so we spent lots of time together.

We enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner at a friend's house just across the street from us. They are in our ward. Everything was delicious and I think we all ate too much!

On Saturday, we headed up to Amarillo to visit the zoo (they don't have a zoo here in Lubbock). Ethan had lots of fun looking at all of the animals, but we barely stopped the stroller before he would start saying "More! More!"

He had fun running around too. It wasn't very crowded even though it was a Saturday.

Making a face for the camera

Hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving!

Some videos of Ethan playing

Ethan playing with some balloons. One of the balloons is still going strong, even though it has been a month! Ethan still loves playing with it. I think we'll just get him a bag of balloons for Christmas and call it good

My mom brought out this toy train set when she came to visit. Ethan was playing with it and making train noises

Pics and Videos from my Phone

Here are some recent pics and videos of Ethan!

Ethan seems to be running in place here!

He was licking the ketchup off the french fries and then handing them back to Kristen for more ketchup!

He liked sitting on this ride at the mall. I could barely get him to look at the camera because he just wanted to play with the flashing button in front of him

We started calling him the CEO after this...

Reading his new book
