"I'm the Boss!"

Ethan and I had fun hanging out today on my day off (while Dad was at school). We're doing lots of tummy time these days and he seems to actually be enjoying it. The slogan on his shirt, "I'm the BOSS" is pretty true!!

Smiling for Mom & Dad...

I just love this little boy!! I can't imagine what we did without him. Here are some smiles Ethan shared with Mom & Dad...

Pumpkins, mums, and a cute little boy!

I wanted to take some fall pictures, so we visited a pumpkin patch this afternoon. It was pretty busy and Pat didn't want to hold a photo session in the middle of everyone, so we set-up some hay bales and pumpkins in the backyard. Ethan was in a great mood, but it will definitely be easier when he can sit-up alone.

Enjoying the beautiful weather...

Ethan has recently enjoyed his first "camping" trip - twice in one month! We joined Uncle Ralph, Aunt Sandy, and the Zikas at Carlyle a few weekends ago and at Beaver Dam last weekend. We drive down to hang out during the day and then go home at night; they have campers, so it makes the experience a little easier with a baby. We bundled Ethan up, because it was a little windy, but he loves to be outdoors. Here he is relaxing in a camping chair:

"Wannabe" Soccer fan...

Most of you probably know that Pat and I aren't really sports fans. I hear that the Cards are headed to the World Series, but I haven't watched a single game in the past few years and don't even own a team shirt. Ethan has several sport related outfits, because it's popular for little ones. I couldn't pass on this one, even though I have never watched a soccer game in my life. So here is our little soccer "fan":

Ethan the Dinosaur..

Grandma Tammy got Ethan this adorable dinosaur outfit that he wore it this afternoon to run some errands. He was a little too squirmy to get good pictures, but it was so cute!

Getting big fast...

Wow, I can't believe how much Ethan has grown! Here he is at 2 weeks old and today, at 14 weeks...
