What's Ethan been up to? (and snow...lots of snow.)

Ethan has finally figured out how to get off his belly and "crawl like a big boy". He really began crawling well last week. He will sometimes still do his little army crawl thing because he gets around pretty quick like that.

He also said his first word a few weeks ago, "dadadadada". He says it all the time now. He thinks it is pretty funny. As for "Mama" he said it once, and Emma is my witness. Emma and Ethan were taking a bath sometime last week and Ethan fell over and drank some of the bath water. As you can imagine, he wasn't all that thrilled about that and reached out for me and cried, "mama". That was it. I haven't heard it since.

Little Ethan is turning into a little tease too. He wants whatever Emma is having, especially if she doesn't want him to have it. The other day I caught him in the picture below, trying to steal Emma's sippy cup.

I think this is how she does it.

This picture was requested by Emma. She wanted a picture of her and Ethan in front of the tree with jammies on. Ask and you shall receive Emma.

Now for the snow...Friday school was canceled because of the approaching storm. I was disappointed because since I am still layed off and if I don't work I don't get paid. I was at least hoping for a half day. Oh well! The snow did start coming down around 1 or 2 in the afternoon. Once it started it really did come down.

Emma Friday Night

Emma Saturday Morning

You can really see how deep it is on the railing above Emma.

Our Snowy home.

These next few are from Sunday. Emma and Josh enjoyed some outside fun too. Ethan would have loved to get out there too but he didn't. He doesn't have a snowsuit and the snow was so deep I thought we might loose him out there.

Can you see in incoming snowball? Nice one Daddy!

Coming up next...the Ugly Christmas Sweater Party....stay tuned....
