Merry Christmas to all...

















1) Santa Ethan (that's Me!)
2) Playing on my Bounce & Spin Zebra... I fall off it a lot!
3) Opening presents - it takes me about a day to get through one...
4) Say Cheeesseee!
5) I know I look like I'm doing that standing all on my own - but Mummy's holding the back of my overalls!
6) Sitting on Mummy for a snooze!
Merry Christmas everybody! I had a fantastic Christmas this year!!! It was nice to be so big and strong that I could do tons of stuff and really have fun!

A lot has been happening with us since I last posted. Let me think... the last thing I did here was my video of checking my email. I try to check that everyday, but since I have to do it with Mummy or Daddy I sometimes have to wait. It's OK though, I have tons of other stuff to get done in a day. So I have been getting bigger and stronger all the time, I weigh close to 20 pounds now, and I'm 30" tall. I LOVE to stand up and I do it well enough that Mum doesn't have to hold me up all the time... I can stand just holding onto something and I get better at that all the time. I think that soon I will be ready to stand on my own! Mummy gave me another small haircut before Christmas because some woman in the showroom of Gladstone Ford called me a girl... Mum HATES that!!!! But she says that my hair grows fast like Daddy's, and that I needed a big boy trim. I look pretty handsome if I must say so myself.
I have been working very hard with Kelly, my PT, and have been honing my skills for playing, rolling over, sitting up, and standing. I finally get that when you pick up a ball or something, you can actually put it back down again without flinging it across the room! Yeah for me!! Kelly calls that grab and release skills. I'm skilled!!!
I had 2 Christmas' this year. What a lucky boy I am. I spent the weekend before Christmas with Nana and my aunties Tracy & Pam (of course Mummy & Daddy too!) We had a really good time, and they got to eat a bunch of cool food... I tried some, but I still like my stuff better. THEN, I went to NJ to spend Christmas with my Uncle Sanjay and my Auntie Uchi and again Mummy & Daddy were there (it's not like I could drive myself to NJ). That was so much fun too! I loved my Auntie Uchi so much that just the sound of her voice made me smile! Bruin and Lola went with us to NJ too, and it was fun to have them there. They spent most of their time sleeping on some big, squishy chair called a lovesack. The looked like they were in love when they slept on it! Uncle Sanj & Auntie Uchi have a cute furry bunny named Chilindrina (Chillin-Dreena) who came out to play one night. Lola had to stay outside, and Bruin had to go in the other room while Chilindrina came out cuz they scared her bad! But she was so cute hopping around and she came by and gave me a sniff a couple of times. I got to touch her ear once...but then she was on the move.

So we're home now, waiting for something called 2007 to come along. I wonder if that comes by mail....
More later - I hope you all had a good Holiday, and I love you!

Ethan checks his e-mail

Hello all,
It's been a very busy time of the year, so I promise I'll do a big post when the holidays are over, but for now here is a video of me checking my e-mail.
