another Block Party pix!  

Playing around with blocks! 

he's pretty darn happy about it too! next thing you know, he will be walking!!! The first stealth crawl happened on September 19, 2006! Yeh Ethan! Way to go (of course he doesnt have much use for crawling when he is being worn in an Ergo or sling most of the time! :) ).

Moving forward! Ethan is moving forward finally! He has a stealth crawl..not on his knees yet, but he takes his right foot and plants it down and takes his left foot and places that in the air (must be a balance issue for him) and he moves forward!!!! Still photos are difficult to capture it but here it is!  

 

all cleaned up! :) 

checking out the stuff that's available for play (wooden spoons, ice trays, measuring cups, water toys).  

he was tired here, but he really does love his baths!  

Taking his bath in the sink (we cant go very far with all the mango on him).  

getting ready for his bath. we had to clean all the mango off of his arms, lets and head! :) 

attack of mango boy! 

Mango Boy! 

Ethan and I at the Roger Williams Zoo yesterday in Rhode Island. It was a nice peaceful trip. Although he is young, he is very alert and he enjoyed the animals.  

A cute little yawn for the camera. This was my cue to stop taking pix! :) 

It is so RARE for him to cry that I just had to take a pix of this. I wanted to photograph a picture of the scarf I knit for Mikey so I could post it on a knitting board but then Ethan started to cry about it. I felt so horrible and put the camera down but this is really a priceless picture. The only one I have of him crying. Its just soo rare! Poor baby. He got lots of hugs and kisses after this shot! :) 

Ethan loves modeling his new hat. Except that since I didnt have a pattern, I used an acrylic yarn b/c i didnt want to destroy my nice organic yarn or wool yarn so now I will recreate this hat for him in a nice yummy organic cotton or wool yarn. Its such an easy thing to do though! :) 

and here is the top of the hat! this was SOOOO easy! 

I took the top off and redid the hat, so here is the final product. :) 

This is the first attempt at making the hat pictured below. I don't lik ethe way the top looks though, so I am going to take that part out and redo the top of the hat. This was only a trial anyway and I didn't have a pattern, so I think it was pretty good all things considered.
