Ethan went to Greenwood for three nights and spent time with both grandparents so I could have a few days "off" for my birthday! We appreciate both of our families so much for taking such good care of little man and giving us a little break. He LOVES his Grandma, Grandpa, Mimi, and RayRay.

Words

Ok so I know I have been terrible about updating the blog lately. We have been to the beach (Ethan HATED it)! He hated the water, he hated the sand. Hopefully by next year he will have grown out of this fear...b/c I LOVE the beach! Ethan started Mother's Morning Out at Highland's last week, and it has been SO nice for me. Ethan has not been a huge fan, but he is getting used to it. He always cries when I drop him off, but his teachers say he does great once he calms down.

It took a while for Ethan to start talking, and we were a little worried. We found out that he had fluid behind both ears so he couldn't hear! Once that cleared up he has really started saying a lot. I know many of you probably don't care what words he can say, but I am going to list them here, mainly because I would like to keep track!

Carson Turns 1!

Last weekend we headed up to Arkansas to celebrate Carson's 1st Birthday. It was fun to see the boys together!

14 Months

Ethan is already 14 1/2 months old. Good grief, they grow up too fast!

Yes, he is screaming in this picture...he hates the sprinkler!

Scott's favorite outfit for Ethan--his State Jersey, and even though I went to Ole Miss, I don't mind =)

We went to our neighborhood pool last week. Ethan was less than thrilled. We are gonna have to work on the pool thing. He loves bath time, so we thought he would love it!

Dallas Trip '10

We went to Dallas last weekend to visit family and have a little vacation. Ethan got to meet his great grandfather and his great aunt and uncle Brynne and Luis. We went to the Dallas Aquarium and a Ranger Game. We really had a great time, and Ethan was really good the whole time. Now that he is walking, he really hates to be held. We spent much of the weekend chasing him around! Here are a few pictures from the trip.
