Oh, so you use the Ball!

After Matt and I explained, Ethan figured out that you need to use the Ball to knock over the pins, but I think it will still be a bit before he really figures out how the game works.

Teaching the basics

Matt really wants Ethan to share Matt's interests. He's letting Ethan try his hand at playing his Lego Star Wars Video game here. Ethan really didn't get very far, but I think he enjoyed it anyway.

Baby Hacker

I guess you never know just how much your kids watch you and just how much they pick up. Kind of scary, actually.

Phone talker

One of Ethan's favorite things to do is pretend he's talking on the phone. He punches in a few numbers and then holds the phone up to his ear.

Little talker

The scary thing is that when I took the phone away from him, I heard an annoyed woman saying"Hello?... Hello?" on the other end. Not really thinking clearly, I just hung up, I guess I should have explained to the poor woman what had happened, but I guess I was just so embarrassed I didn't think about it. So I guess Ethan has now made his first official Prank Call.

plug of war

We've been slowly trying to get Ethan off of his pacifier, but it can be a bit of a battle. Little distractions can help, though.

Stuffed animal friends

When my Mom and Dad were here, they took us Toys R Us and Ethan pulled a stuffed Horse off of the shelves that he has just been in love with ever since. He Also got a glow worm from his Grandma and Grandpa Leavitt that loves to cuddle up to before bed. Thanks Grandparents!!!! The stuffed animals are a huge hit!
