On the Move!

Ethan is crawling! Well, army crawling at least. This video was taken last week. This week he is working on his speed...the word "No!" makes him crawl faster!

Ethan's First Bike Ride

Ethan went for his first bike ride yesterday...although he is not sure what to think about it yet. He could not decide what to think about the big, heavy thing we put on his head!

Vacation!

We are back from a great week long trip! We left on Saturday evening and drove through the night to get to Myrtle Beach and stayed there for 5 nights. Ethan loved the beach and the pool. He is definetly a water baby!

While at Myrtle Beach we visited the Ripley's Aquarium. Scott and I called it our scuba trip! My favorite part was their "Ray Bay." They have a large tank of all different types of rays and a few small sharks that is attached to a shallow touch pool where you are allowed to pet any of the rays that come close enough. I said the chant Kristy and I were taught by Carlos in Belize..."Eagle ray, eagle ray, eagle ray," and it worked! I got to pet an eagle ray several times as it swam by. (I would have included the second part of the chant, "Turtle, turtle, turtle," but seeing as that there were no turtles in the tank I did not think it would work very well.)

On our way home we stayed one night in Cherokee, North Carolina and then spent a little bit of time in the Smokey National Park.

Ethan's New Trick

Check out Ethan's new trick! He is so proud of himself!

Nine and a half months old!

We finally went for Ethan's 9 month appointment this week and he weighed in at a heafty 20 pounds 1 ounce and 27.5 inches long! He now falls in the 25th-50th percentile on his weight. It's hard to believe this is the same baby from 9 months ago. Everyone used to comment on how little he was and now they say, "What a big boy!"

Obviously, we don't miss too many meals!

Uncle Ken Does it Again!

Big Boy!

I took Ethan for a weight check a couple of weeks ago and he weighed in at 18 pounds 6 ounces and 26 inches long! A few days ago we weighed him at about 19 pounds at home. Our little boy is not so little anymore!!!

So many toys, so little time!

Splish splash I was taken' a bath!

Ethan has learned to splash!

The things we do....

Oh, the things we will do to make our children laugh....

Let's make noise!

One thing Ethan has had no trouble finding...his voice!

Uncle Ken is Funny!

Ethan thought Uncle Ken was hilarious! He was blowing rasberries on Aunt Kristy's back in the pool for Ethan's entertainment. Ethan is definetly a Lawrance, but what little boy would not crack up over farting noises?!?!

The 4th of July

We spent the July 4th weekend up at Lake Webster where Ethan went for his first swim in the pool. He was not too sure of it at first, but by the end of his first dip he was enjoying it. On the second day, he had a lot of fun! Ethan also did very well with the fireworks...he slept right through them!!!

The rest of our pictures from the weekend are posted on Picasa as well as pictures from June!

Learning to Sit

Ethan is learning to sit and he is getting pretty good! He can sit on his own for several minutes at a time. His favorite place to sit is in the middle of mom and dad's bed. If he gets tired or just wants to for fun, he can flop backwards on all of the soft pillows!
