Splish Splash

Ethan has finally figured out how to TRULY splash in the bathtub. He's splashed before, but nothing like this! This video was taken after he had already been vigorously splashing and laughing hysterically for at least 5 minutes, so he's starting to slow down a bit. But it's still funny! (It's a little long, so don't feel like you have to watch the whole thing!)

Where's your Belly???

Dear Grandpa Willis...

Why did you have to pass on your allergies to me? I'd rather not have puffy, red, runny eyes! I look like I'm crying all the time, but I'm not! And I don't like the drippy nose and constant sneezing. But it's okay, Grandpa...I still love you!

Love,
Ethan

P.S. Mom's not that happy about the allergies you gave her, either.

This picture does NOT truly capture how miserable Ethan looks. He's had red, puffy, watery eyes all weekend, but I almost didn't recognize him when I picked him from daycare today. His eyes were so swollen! The ladies at daycare said he was not himself today at all. After getting a quick consult from nurse/soon-to-be pharmacist Aunt Rachel, we headed to the pharmacy to get some allergy medicine. Hopefully that will kick in soon!

(Oh, and of course he also fell and whacked his head on the concrete this evening and got a HUGE goose egg, so he REALLY looks like a mess now!)

Pearly Whites

We finally got around to getting Ethan a big boy toothbrush. We had still been using the baby kind that you put on your finger. He LOOOOOOVES watching us brush our teeth, so I knew he'd love having a real toothbrush of his own. And I was right! He cried when I took it away after we were finished. If you know me very well at all, you know I like clean teeth! So having a boy that loves to brush makes me so proud!!!!

***Oh, and our tooth count is suddenly up to seven! We noticed another one on the bottom today. So now he has four on the bottom and three on the top.

Daredevil

Ethan has suddenly become Mr. Daredevil. He refuses to sit on his tricycle anymore - only standing or squatting. He surprisingly has not hurt himself yet! (small falls only...)

Dancin' Girl

I had the pleasure of going to Keira's dance recital this afternoon. It was sooooo fun and soooo cute! Keira looked absolutely adorable and did a great job! I'm working on getting a video up - Blogger is finicky with videos sometimes. (I hope it works because you all need to see how much Keira looks like me in the video - it's almost scary! It's like she's my child, not Rachel's!) Way to go, Keira!




Check out Rachel's blog later for pictures of Keira in action. During the actual recital, I did the video on my camera and Rachel took the pictures with hers.

Okay, is that not me????
