There's no photo evidence (yet), but Ethan's first tooth has broke on thru to the other side! We're eating lots of table food now and throwing just as much on the floor!
And after a long day of eating, playing, and napping — Ethan likes to kick back with a bottle of formula before bed…
Wait a second…this isn't my Mets hat…
Pewwww!! Dad, I know you love the Mets and all – but you gotta throw this thing in the washing machine – my diaper champ smells better than your hat…
The best part about giving E a bath lately has been the post bath hijinx. No matter what we try, he's always on the move with nothing on but a towel. And that rarely stays on for long…
Later on, Ethan got a kick out of playing with his Mickey Mouse ball that Cousin Lana got for him when she went to Disney World…

E has actually been a little under the weather lately. He caught a virus this week – but with the help of mom he's getting thru it and already back to his normal self.
He was feeling so much better today that he took the truck out for a spin…
Yesterday we took E to Nana A's place to go for a swim…
We took some time to get adjusted to the water temperature…
And after that, it was good times. It almost seemed like he automatically knew to kick his feet when I had him in the water. We really had a lot of fun and can't I…I mean, Ethan can't wait to go again — hopefully next weekend!
Some videos…

After a long day at the pool…even the big guy needs a nap…
This weekend we took E up to Burlington, Vermont for a little road trip.
We had a great hotel room on the top floor with a beautiful view of Lake Champlain. Ethan decided that he'd take the big bed and Mom & Dad could sleep in the pack and play…
We took a ferry ride across the lake to get to Vermont. We walked around Church Street, which is the main drag in Burlington and ate at a bunch of great restaurants along the way. We also went down to the boardwalk on the water, went to a Farmers Market in town, and spent some time driving around and checking out the city – and we even got to check out UVM…Ethan's 1st visit to check out a college!
On Saturday afternoon, we took E to Shelburne Farms – which is about 10 minutes outside of Burlington – where among a lot of neat things, they had a petting zoo. As you'll see in the video's, E LOVED it.
The first 2 video's – E meets a calf…Moo.

Here E gets up close and personal with a donkey…I think…

Some more pictures from Shelburne Farms…
E is starting to walk…or at least trying to walk and we realized that even though Burlington is a hippie town, it probably wasn't a good idea to let E walk around barefoot eveywhere – so the big guy even got a new pair of kicks along the way…
And despite being a 2 foot terror at the restaurant Saturday night – E made up for it by showing mom how much he loves her…
We took the road less traveled home and on the way we stopped and had lunch in Lake George. When E is big enough – were going back and were renting wave runners!!
Ethan is on the move! Put up the stair gates and child proof the cabinets…E has gone mobile…
