Summer Fun with Family!

We are done with our last reunion of the summer. We had so much fun with Jim's immediate family. Ethan especially loved all of his cousins. They could get him to smile so easily. He is getting so big. He started to laugh a week ago. He laughs when you tickle him. He is also getting to be a pro at sitting up when you help him.


We did lots of fun things when the family was in town. We had lots of family dinners and the adults even got to go out on the town one night. We were treated to a dinner at Ruth's Chris. Yum. Thanks for all of the fun grandpa and grandma. Here are some pics from the reunion.

We went bowling,

We visited a local farm. Ethan is sitting on a tracker seat.Yes our boy can smile!

Me and da boy. I love his hat, but it is getting too small.

One day we played in the kiddy pool at my sister-in-law's house. Ethan loves his bath, but wasn't so sure about this cold pool. His pout is so cute.

But then mommy convinced him that this is the best thing ever. That's my boy!

The kiddy pool was good practice for the next day, when we went to a water park. It was indoors which was so nice. Our family shot.

He really wasn't scared even though he looks it in this pic. He was kicking and splashing and having a grand time.

SIDE NOTE: Ethan is becoming quite bald in many places. Interestingly enough, he also has really long hair at the sides and back of his head. What is a girl to do but experiment with different styles. Jim did not approve, but I think he looks adorable.
