Food, Food, Food...I am learning about FOOD!

OK people...I'm a little put out by something here. It appears there is this stuff called 'table food'. I haven't had much contact with this 'table food' until just a few days ago. And I think that I totally DIG IT!!!

Here is what I've tried - and if there's one of these things (*) in front of it, I really like it!

Meatball

Diced Apples

Mashed potatoes (actually I've tried them before)

*Lemon Poppyseed muffin
Pasta O's
*Grilled Potatoes - the inside only!

Diced Carrots

*Cheez-Its

**Guacamole

*Baby Gold Fish

*Toast with butter

Toast with Jam

Pizza

Fried Egg

Impressive, eh????? I don't eat a lot, mind you. But I try and Mummy & Daddy are very encouraging!

I got to play with my girlfriend Alexia one afternoon. We had a really good time, and I stole her headband from her - I didn't keep it, I just put it on my forehead. It was quite comfy actually!

I love you all!

Some More New Tricks

OK, so you know that my Grandad and my Uncle Jayesh came to visit me from waaaay across the ocean, right?? Well, we had a fantastic visit!! I was very, very happy to see them cuz I haven't seen them in a long time - and they let me have all kinds of fun! Mostly I really liked telling them stories, or cuddling with them. I think they were pretty impressed with all my new tricks!

I've been doing a lot of new things too. I love to pull to stand ALL THE TIME now and I cruise around my little baby jail or the furniture if I can get close enough to it! I love to stand, then squat... stand then squat.... stand then squat.... I do it a lot but I HAVE to hold onto something to get the job done! Otherwise I'll fall right over! I still like to walk with Mum or Dad or using one of my toys. It's good fun!!

I'm doing really good with my foot braces, and I can wear them for up to like a million hours in one day! I'm sure you're quite impressed by that, as you should be! They make it much easier for me to pull off some of my favorite shananagins!!! (insert evil laugh here....)

OH... guess what I did?? I gave a girl a flower! No, not my Mummy (and she was crushed!) but I gave a flower to my friend Samantha! And she smiled really big!!! I think she liked it!!

I really like to stand up in my crib now...and I do it A LOT! Sometimes I like to stand and throw Tubby or Towers over the side - sometimes I like to stand and play with the door knob, or the cord for my light (no I can't reach the outlet!), and if I've been standing there too long and nobody has come to get me... I YELL! Good fun!

I've been doing good still with my eating... somedays when it's too hot I don't really want to do any eating. It's not a big deal - we can use my tube still. BUT the last time I went to see Dr. Hoffley she said that I was doing really great and that if I don't use my tube for 6 months (without losing any weight - mind you) I can have the tube taken out! WOW.... that will be nice. But I want to have everything in order first. I'm sure that I'll lose the tube by the time I'm 3. :-) I like chewing on my little puffs now, and so Mum says we're going to try some finger foods again. I think there might be some diced carrots on my menu tonight.... not sure how I feel about this - I'll let you know.

Well, I'm super sorry I've been so bad about writing... I promise to get back on track. (Ok, Auntie Tinkerchelle??? XX)

I love you all!!!!!

Ethan Busts Some Moves

I know that I missed my posting last week, but when you see what I've been up to you'll understand.

I started really busting a move about a month ago, as you know. And here is some footage of my very first extended and successful crawl! I hope you enjoy it!




So....now that I've mastered the fine art of crawling (and wait until you see how I can chase Cellar around....) and I have really gotten used to my new foot braces I am moving on to bigger and better things... May I present to you one of my first attempts at assisted walking. Assisted by the way of using one of my walking toys instead of my Mum or Dad. It was very exciting, and I do it more and more often now. :-)



Tomorrow my Uncle Jayesh and my Grandad are coming to my house. It's quite a trip for them since they live in London - you probably remember that. But I haven't seen them since just after I turned a year old, and you know how HUGE BIG I am now! They are going to be soooo surprised to see all my tricks.

I hope that I'll have all kinds of great pics for you all next week, and maybe a new video.
I love you all!!!
