We hit a "milestone" of sorts yesterday...making our first unscheduled doctor's appointment for Ethan. He started getting a red bumpy rash on his tummy and legs and I was just SURE that he caught some nasty skin disease at the daycare...but turns out the poor kid has dry skin (eczema - or however you spell it). So, I now have to torture him with putting cold lotion on his body in the morning and at night. The kid cracks me up when I touch his skin with cold hands. He kind of blinks his eyes real fast and inhales loudly, while flailing his hands. I'm sure if he could talk, he'd ask me what in the heck I was doing to him - it's torture!! Anyway, I was happy to hear that it wasn't something he "caught" at daycare!
Other cute things he's been doing lately is playing the shy game sometimes. If I'm holding him and Dave comes up to talk to him, he grins and buries his head in my shoulder for a second or two. Well, he's either playing the shy game or he doesn't like Daddy's morning coffee breath..ha ha ha. He has also started to giggle at times. To my amusement yesterday I was unpacking our first shipment from "diapers.com" (moms, this is nice...you don't have to shop for diapers, they come to your door!) and there was a sample of a lotion in a plastic wrap package. I was just looking at it and he started grinning, so I crinkled it in front of him and he just giggled at it. I thought it was so cute that I had to call Dave on speakerphone from home for him to hear it. Amazing what amuses kids - who needs to buy toys when you have plastic wrap that makes a funny noise!!

How sweet, I love to hear the Ethan stories and am relieved w/ you that his rash hadn't come from day care.
1. Of course, but the stores trick you into buying all that stuff anyways. c'est la vie.
2. You would have loved the crazy fit you put me into by putting quotes around "caught" I'm like, "This doesn't make any sense! WHYYYY!!! Ahhh, my brain's gonna explode!" etceteras.
PS, note that I intentionally choose which name I use when responding to this because when I use the prefix, "Uncle" I am in the persona of "Uncle Adam" otherwise, it is as if I am an ordinary citizen/family member as always. That is all.
