Wow, I haven't posted in a while. I need to catch up with my blog and with everyone else's. Ethan is doing great. He will be 11 months old next week. Wow!! We have had a busy couple of weeks. Ethan has been dancing a lot - every time music comes on. It is the cutest thing to watch. He will just bounce. His little bum and legs look so cute from behind.

Last week, on about 5/13/08, Ethan stood up on his own. He didn't use anything to pull up on. He did it once and then a few more times the next day.

Kim and Eli came over on Tuesday. We had the best time watching a bulldozer and dump truck work in the neighborhood. The boys were entranced with them. They both love trucks so much. We also went to the park and Kim and I took Eli down the slide. The last time I took Ethan down the big slide, he got scared, so I will wait awhile on that one again.

I have decided for Ethan's first birthday party that I am going to have a car or truck theme. Ethan loves wheels. He will scoot anything across the floor and make vroom sounds. I have no idea how he got this fascination with cars. He is his own person!

I have had to work a lot this week. I sure have missed Ethan. Wanda was here with him today and she tickled him so much that he was laughing with no sound coming out. I was cracking up watching it.

What Ethan loves today: Dancing, throwing his food on the floor, ignoring me when I say "no" and laughing at me, being held - A LOT, his pi-pi, giving me sugar (he just giggles when he does this), hanging out at Don & Gwen's and scooting their chairs all over the driveway, the box house Don made, scooting any furniture across the floor, playing outside, clapping his hands, handing me food that is on his tray and then taking it back. Um, that's about all for now.

Thanks everyone for your sweet comments on my Mother's Day. I was so sad. Love ya'll!
