Ethan is 11 Months!

Ethan and Bearmey at 11 months!

Hurray! Ethan is 11 months. This little guy is growing by leaps and bounds. He enjoys finger walking with Daddy and giggling with his sister. Ethan is a natural cuddler and gives snuggles to anyone available. He is the apple of our eye and we think he is the tops.

Ethan Turns 10 Months!

Ethan and Bearmey at 10 months

At 10 months Ethan is more than on the move, he can't sit still for a second! Ethan now climbs stairs, climbs the swing set slide and is generally climbing the walls of our house. Easy going Ethan has transformed into Energetic Ethan. He is still a happy go lucky young man. Mom and Dad are even happier with Ethan in his 10 month of life, with a little sleep training and a little guidance Ethan has learned to sleep through the night. A well rested Mama is worth twice her weight in love and patience.

Ethan is 9 Months!

Ethan and Bearmey at 9 months.

We have started calling Ethan our "baby dinosaur" (in a Jurassic Park kind of way) namely due to these adorable dino jammies. At 9 months Ethan is a hoot. He had his wellness check up at our new pediatrician and has been deemed quite healthy. Ethan is learning to pull himself up and is discovering he likes many different varieties of food. Ethan sure brings variety to our lives, we love him!

Ethan is 8 Months!

Ethan with Bearmey at 8 months.

Ethan is enjoying his 8th month of life. He is crawling like a pro and has cut his two bottom teeth. Ethan has started to voice his opinion about various things. Although still quite easy going guy, we are learning that Ethan prefers green beans over sweet potatoes and likes to be held and cuddled. We are blessed to have Ethan in our life.

Dennis was ordained on July 15, 2012, at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Albion, MI. This day was very special for our family. I haven't been this excited about a day since our wedding back in 2007. The amount of sacrifice, discipline and perseverance on both of our parts is unmeasurable. To God be the glory.

A Visit to the Missouri Botanical Garden

We discovered that the Botanical Garden offers free admission on Wednesday mornings from 7-9 AM. Well, if it is free...it's for me (and my family). Dennis, Olivia, Ethan and I strolled leisurely around the beautiful gardens all morning long.

From May 26-August 19, the Botanical Gardens are celebrating with a Lantern Festival. According to their website you can "Experience one of China's most treasured events and ancient traditions this summer as the Garden hosts an international exhibition of larger-than-life, lighted works of art." We didn't see the lanterns lit, but they were quite impressive.
