June 2011

One more tidbit to add from May's post. We went to Ethan's 18 month appointment right after the post. Here are his stats:
Weight: 23 lb. 12 oz = 21st percentile
Height: 2 ft. 9 in. = 71st percentile
Head: 50.7 cm = 98th percentile

So, pretty much the same as always. Long and lean with a big head :)

As Ethan is growing, so is his personality! Every day there is something to laugh about with him. He has really grown to love playing dress up. Here are some pics from his many dress up moments.

Dancing while wearing his favorite headband.
Wearing his beaded necklaces...
Dad's shoes... (I'm pretty sure he will also grow to love shoes like his daddy. He already goes and picks out all of our shoes when we leave the house)
Dancing in daddy's Livestrong shirt...
Soccer player (he looks tough doesn't he?) lol...
Another huge change this month is his independence. He only wants to feed himself now, no help whatsoever. So, he is learning how to use a spoon. Let's just say it's a pretty messy learning experience. Most of the time the spoon gets turned upside down and his food ends up on his clothes.
June also brought a ton of outdoor time. Whether we were on his bike or stroller, playing in the pool, or hanging out at the cabin we were outside for the majority of the days.
The kids even helped me drive the pontoon for the first time! Kileigh took her helping job pretty seriously :)
Father's Day at the cabin

Watching the boats with grandma. (Ethan is OBSESSED with boats, trucks, cars, trains, pretty much any big vehicle that goes fast)
At the end of the month we went to the Milton Relay for Life. A family friend was the person being honored, so we went to listen to his speech. Ethan was much more interested in the balloons and running up and down the bleachers. He did however get to sport his sweatshirt in memory of his grandpa!
We also made the annual trip to Rotary Gardens to snap a picture of the kids by the brick in memory of Kevin.

On to July...
