Do You Know Your ABCs?

Ethan is still not saying much besides babbling in his own language, but he recognizes over half the alphabets and 4 numbers. He can only say "A" and "O". In addition to these he can make 4 animal sounds - "Moo", "Bah", "Oink Oink" and "Woof". Mommy is still waiting for Ethan to call her....soon she hopes...

Baby Einstein DVD wins...for now

I guess Ethan has finally moved on from "Waltzing Matilda" to his Baby Einstein DVDs. His new phase now is watching the Baby Einstein DVDs twice a day. He seems to have forgotten about the repeating songs. Hmmm...wonder when this new phase will end....

My New Wheels

I am finally tall enough to ride my other set of wheels. This is the cool cruiser that Aunty Julie and Uncle Nelson got me. Maybe I will start getting some second looks when I take it out for a spin! Vvrrooommm....vvvrrooommm....

So You Think You Can Dance

Ethan has been dancing every time he hears music. It doesn't matter where he is, whether he is in a restaurant, in the car or at home. Right now, his favorite song is "Waltzing Matilda" and he can listen to it over and over again. Actually he insists that it gets replayed. Check out his moves here:

Swim, swim, swim

Ethan just completed his first swimming class today. He did great and enjoyed being in the water for the last 2 weeks. He learned how to kick, go under water, hold on to the edge of the pool and jump into the pool. Daddy was with him all the way. Mommy was a spectator cheering on. Ethan received a certificate for the completion of his class. Yeah!!

No Peanuts!

The results are in. Ethan is definitely allergic to peanuts. Now, we have to change the way we eat and be very careful about what he eats. We hope that he will outgrow it, but we'll just have to wait and see. I guess we will not be able to enjoy peanut butter sandwiches together in the future. We will have to stick with oreo cookies then :)

Happy Father's Day!

Ethan thought of a great idea and gave daddy a nice present for Father's Day. I think daddy loves it. We also took daddy out to dinner at Shimogamo for some yummie Japanese food. It was enjoyed by all.
