again, at 1 am...just to make things fun!  

while talking to a friend in California at 1am, here is what Ethan Benjamin loves to do!  

2 little brothers hanging out together! Mikey is the best biggest brother there is! 

what a face, huh? I think he was laughing, but now I can't remember for sure. 

Everyone else is asleep except the baby! Sound familiar to anyone?  

Can you read his book. "No Need to Count Sheep, We Co-Sleep".  

Just wanted to post a pix of Ethan with his UTN baby in matching pj's! How cute, huh?  

See how easy it is for him to crawl from my bed, to the crib mattress, then to the floor? I just want him to learn not to crawl head first (I worry about him hurting his neck). 

I am so excited! I finally moved the mattresses of my bed onto the floor. We co-sleep and I always get worried that Ethan will fall out of bed, since my bed was so high off the ground and he has been so squirmy lately. So, I moved my mattresses onto the floor and then put his crib mattress beside mine. He never slept in the crib that I had side-carred beside my bed anyway. I am trying to teach him to get off of my bed feet first, then get off his crib mattress to the floor feet first too. When he has learned this, I will the remove the crib mattress. He is such a smart little guy. He has already crawled from the floor to his crib mattress, then onto my bed. He is so strong too. He can move FAST!!!!  

now we have to clean up! but Ethan Benjamin loves bathing after dinner!!!  

I know this is alot of pix from one event but these just get better and better! Daddy was over for dinner, so Ethan Benjamin was being particularly funny!  

This dinner is interesting...and very very messy!  

OMG! I can't even crop this pix...its too cute! This is the first lasanga dinner that Ethan Benjamin fed himself. Its just too cute for words.  

And then he's all the way up! How cool is that, huh?  

Mikey was working on a project...sitting on a stool..and UP UP UP comes Ethan Benjamin. He pulled himself up on the stool. First time ever. :) 

Are you ready for this? One day he is just sitting around...crawling a bit....playing with a few toys...then... 

I didnt get really good pix of the boys together...I am sad about that, but Ethan wasn't very cooperative. I think I see a hint of a smile from Ethan in this pix though. :) 

The gang! 

Ethan was happier once he got strolling around the neighborhood. He is just not used to being in a stroller. Other than walking and jogging around, he is always being worn in a sling or mai tai. Doesn't it look like he is saying here "mom, when are you going to pick me up and put me in the sling? Why are you taking so long?". I felt strange too...walking around with him in the stroller.  

Ethan didn't like the froggy outfit..he was NOT amused. :( 

Ethan was a froggy for Halloween. Dh's company mascot is a frog, so we have a lot of frogs at home for Ethan. :) Ethan was not happy at all with the costume. Not. at. all. :( 

I just love looking at my boys sleeping together...they are so adorable and angelic. The one time during the day that they are satisfied at being motionless. With boys, there is so much activity...so much energy. 

Mikey is so helpful in the kitchen! I hope he learns the joy of cooking. I think he will...he helps me almost every meal. I'm a lucky mommy!  

another cute smily pix!  

I couldn't help but take this pix. He just looked so beautiful when I brought him home. i went to the bathroom to grab something and looked in the mirror and saw his cute face and body. They are small for such a short time. :*(
