Grandparent's Day Lunch

Yesterday Ethan hosted his first Grandparent's Day lunch and it was a big success. Unfortunately only 2 sets of Grandparents were able to make it, but he'll get to see Grandma Hughes this week when she comes to watch him on Wednesday. Everyone was in charge of making their own pizzas and they all came out tasty!! Then, Ethan helped mommy make a strawberry-jello desert that was very yummy to close out the meal. Ethan is very grateful for all his grandparents and it's very apparent how they feel about him!! (Sorry, completely forgot to get pictures of the event).

Other random stories...
Ethan has started to give kisses it seems - in the last few days he'll just come at you with his mouth wide open and it's the sweetest thing!! I'm home with him today and when I took him up for his morning nap he gave me one on the way upstairs and then in the middle of me rocking him, he looked at me and gave me one - makes my heart melt!!

I think Ethan is going thru a growth spurt or something, because last night for dinner, I had to STOP him from eating, because he was cramming bite after bite into his mouth!! Same thing for breakfast this morning - keep the food coming Mama!! He's also become VERY antsy these days - he's about 90% there with crawling and making more progress every day. He likes to walk (with help obviously), knows how to get from a sitting to crawling position (we dropped his crib mattress this weekend), and he absolutely LOVES the Pampers box now - Daddy attached a string so now it's easy to be pulled around in. Dave was talking about decorating the box with racing stripes - silly Daddy!

Ethan is all about saying "Ma ma" and "Da da" these days. I can't believe he'll be 11 months this week and soon a year old! While he was sitting and playing yesterday, I just looked at him and can't believe what a little boy he is now!
