Long Weekend

This is Ethan's friend Ula. Really it is the first time he has ever met her - and she lives in Fort St. John so it will be a while before he sees her again - but they seemed to like each other. She is only two weeks older than Ethan, and was visiting town with her mom (who I know) so we thought we'd get them together. They played a bit...

But really, Ethan was only interested in the pretty pink buttons on her overalls and the little butterflys on her shoes. He spent the majority of the visit pulling at her articles of clothing!

Later on in the weekend I came into the living room from the kitchen and found Ethan standing - YES STANDING - like this. When I left him he was sitting and playing with the toy and when I came back he had used it to climb up and stand! He does not seem very interested in crawling still - but will use crawling to get to another apparatus (couch, tall toy, people's legs) and scramble and claw his way up. Look at the "innocent" expression he has been practicing!

This picture below I just thought was precious. Dad and Ethan dressed like twins kicking back and enjoying a snack on a long weekend morning. Ethan gets the bottle and Troy gets to nibble on toes and baby sock lint! Ethan LOVES LOVES LOVES his daddy - weekends are the best (especially long ones) because he is home all day. Hope everyone enjoyed theirs.
