journaling

I was talking with a friend of mine who told me to start writing a journal about everything that Ethan is doing, so that I can give it to him when he's older. I was ready to run out to a stationary store and get a pretty new book to write in when I remembered that I have a horde of cute little journal books in my office. And then I was reading an article in my parenting magazine about powerful Mom bloggers and I remembered my sweet little blog! It's the perfect answer to an Ethan journal/photo album/whatever I want it to be. Hooray!

Currently, Ethan is asleep in the room that has my external hard drive with all the recent photos on it, but never fear! Pictures will be coming shortly.

Ethan is so big now! He's cutting his first teeth (two at once). He is cruising around, standing for a second or two on his own, growling like a car or motorcycle all day long. We got him some little cars to play with and he pushes them around going, "grrrr, grrrr". He waves bye-bye to people, but only after they are already gone. He has 8 signs: cracker, milk, more, finish, dog, cereal, bye, water/book/somethingerother (we don't know quite what he means with this one) and 5 words: banana, Mama, Daddy, bye-bye, up. He is the sweetest, most well-behaved baby in the world. Ethan is always smiling and laughing. He jams on the guitars and bass with Daddy every day, singing and strumming the strings.

We are happy and well and I'll post some pictures soon so that everyone in the world can see my beautiful baby!
