Here are some other pictures of Ethan from just before Christmas. He went with his Grandma and Grandpa and cousins to get these done and surprised us!
Green monster rides green 4-wheeler!
We've been enjoying the winter. Christmas and New Years were fun and not too stressful. Ethan's Grandma and Grandpa Beu came out to Colorado to celebrate with our family and Jason's sisters' families. Ethan received lots of fun toys as well! He loves his little people-type sets - the construction workers and airfield set, the Old MacDonald animal and tractor set, and the Noah's Ark set. He also got an awesome tool box, cool balls, and books! He loves his Kawasaki 4-wheeler too - especially the revving noises (I guess he is taking after daddy?)!
Ethan is eating more and more "real" food. He is pretty good with some finger foods like macaroni noodles and cheerios, but as you can see from the picture, he misses his mouth sometimes. Avocado can be messy even for the best of us, so I don't blame him for the mess! He had fun though...and I just thought he looked disgustingly cute here.
He isn't crawling yet but he should get the hang of it sometime soon. He is already trying to pull up and stand a lot more.
Photogenic Babe
Here are some of the pictures I took of Ethan this weekend. He was just so smiley, so they all turned out pretty cute (if I do say so myself).
My first REAL snow!
It snowed all weekend here, so we actually had some accumulation. About 5 inches by Saturday and another 3 or 4 inches on Sunday. So Ethan got to experience snow! After Jason finished plowing our driveway and sidewalk in front of the house, he took the tractor around to the backyard and created a track by flattening down the snow and pulling the innertube. So Ethan and I hopped on the tube and went for a gentle ride around the backyard. Then Ethan went by himself. He fits perfectly in the tube (just like his cousin Colten did last December) and he actually enjoyed riding on his own as well. He was hootin' and Hollerin' and laughing most of the time. Ethan and Jason then drove for a while so they could pull me around. Ethan doesn't seem to mind the tractor noise at all. And then I drove and pulled them together on the tube. Lots of family fun!
Bummin' Around
Ethan has discovered that his toes need to be sucked on regardless of whether he has bare feet or not. Yummy toe jam!
He always has a blast with his noise-making hammer. Just wait until he starts "fixing" things around the house with it...maybe we'll leave that to Daddy for a while.
Watch Out Squirrels!
I know what you're thinking, this is just wrong! But isn't it amazing how huge the tiny Red Rider BB Gun looks in Ethan's hands? He even holds it correctly! Ethan had plenty of adult supervision for this shot, and the gun is not loaded. All we have to say is "Watch out squirrels - when Ethan gets older!"
Chili Peppers and Teddy Bears!
Happy Halloween! Ethan had a chance to dress up as two different things this year at two different parties. He looked adorable in his chili pepper costume, but he is so tall that his legs were crunched in it and he couldn't wear it too long. He's hoping to save it for a little sibling some day... So his friend, Abigail, loaned him a teddy bear costume that she didn't plan on wearing this year. Usually it snows on Halloween here in Colorado, so warm costumes are usually a good idea, but it was close to 80 degrees during the day this year...so he was extra warm and couldn't wear either costume very long. Oh well...it was fun for us all!
