Father's Day

Ethan wanted to give Daddy a Star Wars themed gift for Father's Day so we used an idea from Sandy Toes & Popsicles blog.

Here's what ours looked like.

Star Wars goody kit

Notice Ethan trying to steal the pringles!

We didn't have time to do the dipped pretzel rods so I substituted with rainbow Twizzlers.

Success!!! Ethan stayed in his bed last night from 8:15 pm to 7:15 am this morning! We were shocked but oh so happy.

Then today he went and climbed up in and and laid down for his morning nap. Tonight same story.

I snapped a few pics, but he of course is too busy to pause for photo ops.

Ethan's toddler bed

Wow! He wants to make his bed.

Time for night night.

Milk & bedtime

Oh no!!!

Today at 16 months and 12 days old my baby Ethan turned into little Spiderman. He scaled the rails of the crib and climbed right over. I had put him down for a nap and I heard all this banging around. When I went to investigate I found him sitting on his floor with his lamp in his lap turning it on and off. Grrrr.

When Daddy came home we had to convert the crib to the toddler bed and rearrange the room a bit so the lamp was maybe a little harder to get to.

Ethan seems to think his bed is the coolest thing ever. Mommy & Daddy are not as enthused. Since we don't own the little guard rail that goes with his crib, and I didn't plan on converting his crib anytime in the near future we have nothing to keep him from falling out. I made a nice squishy pallet on the floor in case he rolls out. We're just hoping the little guy will actually get some sleep tonight. I'll let you know how the night goes.

Galveston Trip day 2

Galveston Day 1

Today we drove down to Galveston, had lunch at Whataburger and then headed out to Stewart Beach. For dinner we ate at Rainforest Cafe.
Snack time!

I just thought this one was too funny.

Our little Foodie

Yesterday evening Ethan was getting a little cranky so we decided to go use daddy's computer to watch some videos. He definitely quieted down. In fact he looked like he was on the verge of falling asleep.

Relaxing with mommy & watching YouTube videos

Then we decided it was time for dinner. I made paninis and figured what the heck I may as well let him try one too. If he didn't like I'd heat up some nuggets or something. Surprise! He LOVED it! Ate the whole thing.

Ethan's first panini- ham, cheese, olive tapenade, sundried tomatoes, & basil pesto

He loved his panini! He's ready for a trip to Italy now.

Memorial Day Weekend

Ethan and I had a fabulous 3-day weekend! We did a lot of swimming, playing, eating, and lounging. It was the perfect weekend for us. Here's some photos from our adventures.
