Too cool!

We just thought you might enjoy viewing Ethans first styled hairdo. He turned 7 months a few days ago and just to update you all, he is spending most of his time playing while sitting up, but not crawling just yet. When he is on his tummy he likes to kick his legs but hasn't yet figured out how to get use them to move. We are in no hurry to see Ethan become mobile as we still need to baby proof. We are moving this upcoming weekend, so it's been nice packing with Ethan who isn't able to get into everything yet. It will be interesting to see how Ethan likes his new room!

Hiking with the family

Ethan went on his first outdoor adventure with grandma and grandpa Fawcett. He had so much fun taking in all of nature's beauty. If he could get his hands on any of it, he'd eat it all! He especially liked being strapped to Dad so closely. We just recently bought a baby backpack for him in which we plan to use in August when we take him on his first camping trip. We will let you know how that goes. Here are some pictures of the hike with Mom and Dad and a picture of Ethan and Thomas trying out the new backpack.

Nice to meet you!

A couple weeks ago, we had the privalege of attending Owen Grady Fawcett's baptism in West Branch, IA. The Fawcett boys hit it off right away and didn't waste any time getting to know eachother. Ethan was pretty mesmorized by Owen's abilities. He could sit up without toppling over and crawl all over the place with such ease. It was great to see the boys play in the pond and spend time at a place where we hope many memories together will be made. We had a great time with family and friends. Thanks to everyone who made it happen!
