Travels to Wisconsin

This past weekend Ethan and I went up to Wisconsin to celebrate a belated Thanksgiving/30th birthday for my cousin on my Mom's side. He was a bit timid at first with all the unfamiliar faces, but he warmed up after a while and gave big grins to everyone. My cousin even tried to win him over with bits of brownie and M&M's...mmm!

Just a few pictures of Ethan with Grandma. He got a few belated birthday gifts from my aunt and cousin...among his favorites were the little doggy pull toy and thomas the train book. He loves his choo choos!!



Other updates...we've transitioned out of bottles during the day (as of Friday) and now it's just the morning and evening bottle. I will be so thankful once we can stop cleaning bottles. :) Ethan learned the word yellow at Lauren's house, so Dave and I now point out yellow things to reinforce what the color is. Ethan's bedtime story used to be Mom and Dad's pick for the night - he's now showing his independence and brings YOU the book HE wants to read - very cute! One of his favorites right now is "Go Dog, Go"...when he pulls it out he says "Ga-Go, Ga-Go". Of course he knows how to say doggy, but he definitely gets the point of what the title is!

I don't know if I mentioned this before, but Dave and I bought him a toddler sled a few weeks back, so we need to get that baby in action one of these days. Pictures to follow once we try it out.
