Ethan can push his walker

Today Ethan started walking using his walker!  There is no holding him back now, he'll be walking in no time!  The video is only his second attempt....he's already much better at it.  We're looking forward to  my parents arriving on tuesday, so I should have lots of pictures to post next week.

Teething Sucks

Sorry I haven't exactly been keeping up with the blog.  We've had a rough week or two.  Ethan got another tooth and has been super grumpy!  He wakes up multiple times during the night and screams when I set him down.  Things seem to be getting better though, and I was actually able to clean up my house today!  On a brighter note, Ethan is now very very good at pulling himself up.  All he needs to stand up now is the wall....I imagine it won't be long until he starts walking!  He also has started babbling and making noises up a storm!  Zach has been working pretty much non-stop, but it will all be worth it when he gets done with school a couple of weeks early!  Here are some pictures and videos of Ethan's new accomplishments.

Goodbye Wisconsin :(

On Monday we said goodbye to Wisconsin after a wonderful trip home.  We had soooo much fun and miss everyone already!  Now we're counting down the days until my parents come to visit in February. (If anyone else feels the urge to travel to SC, we like visitors)  Ethan was such a trooper on the plane ride home, since we missed our connection in Atlanta and had to hang out at the airport for a couple of extra hours.  He is really crawling EVERYWHERE now, and even starting to pull himself up on furniture!  He is growing way too fast!!  Here are a few recent pictures of him.  I almost didn't want to post the ones of him in his Packer jersey, since I'm still a little bitter, but he's just too cute to pass up!

Whoops....

So someone finally just told me that I forgot to put the link to the video up.  So here it is, and the other one too.

Another video

Here is a preview video of Ethan on Christmas morning.  I have another one coming, but it's about 7 minutes long, so its taking a bit longer to upload.  I'll try my best to get it up before we make our journey back to Wisconsin on Saturday!

All Ethan got for New Year's was his two bottom teeth

Well, after a week of being an absolute bear, Ethan got his first teeth today!  I hope he goes back to normal before we head to Wisconsin.  I'm super behind in posting videos, so here's one we took a week or two ago, and I'll get working on some other ones!

Ethan's first Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!  We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, we definitely did!  Of course we missed being home, but it was fun to have a low key day where we could just eat, watch the Packers, and play with all of Ethan's new toys!  He certainly is a spoiled baby boy :)  We were very happy, because Zach ended up getting Christmas eve off and only had to go into work for three hours in the afternoon on Christmas day.  We also got to skype with a bunch of our family.....makes me so excited for our trip home! Here are some pictures from Ethan's first Christmas, and I should have some videos up a bit later in the week!
