Summer Fun

Despite a recent scare with Ethan running a high, viral fever, we have had a lot of fun this Summer. He has been very busy swimming and playing hard most everyday. Check out what else he has been up to...
Ethan posing aka working hard to get his new outfit dirty...Boys will be boys!!
Ethan with daddy spinning around fast on the playground.
Here he is climbing up to the tallest slides at a local hamburger joint.
Ethan recently acquired this neat table and chair set from his girlfriends down the street. He is trying hard to master his cooking skills so he can invite them down for a wonderful meal in the near future.
Ethan loves his new riding horse. He has really galloped his way through our home and backyard. The last photo shows him with his cool, Summer shirt thanks to our relatives in WI. What a little monkey he is!

Talking Toddler

Ethan is constantly acquiring new words. Here are the words he knows and says often:
mamma, daddy, nana (banana and Nana), paw paw, doggie, baba (bottle), nite nite, hat, hot, ball, ducky, uck (truck), thanks, hi, bye-bye, bubbles, baby, shoes, uh-oh, up, NO, light on, what's this, fish, boat, balloon, brush, flower, bath, apple, kitty, colors, bowl, book, kick. He loves to point at items and especially loves to say hi and bye-bye to all he sees and meets. He is about to be 17 months...Wow, how time flies!

Ethan with his favorite Summer snack, watermelon! Below is Ethan enjoying hanging out with his GrandBob and Nana and his new friend, Elmo.

The last two pictures were taken from a red snapper fishing excursion in Galveston. There were quite a few fish "tales" after that day!
