Update

Old friends from PR stopped in for a visit. It was great seeing Marg & Bob and the girls (who are getting so big). Emma loved having "older" friends to play with.

Emma & Mackenzie hit it off and we did not see much of them as they were busy with their stuffed pets in the playroom.

Kristen is very much a "young lady" now and she enjoyed being around the adults and Ethan. She will make a fabulous babysitter, as Ethan loved all the attention Kristen gave him!!

ETHAN UPDATE

We went to Edmonton for a few days last week, and Ethan cut his first two teeth on the bottom (he is not toothless anymore)!!
Getting a picture of them is another story.
Dann was trying, but Ethan would not cooperate!


So... Dann took some cute photos of Ethan's toes instead!!

Love them toes!!

Not only did Ethan cut two teeth at nine months, but he is working on his crawling technique as well. He has mastered the "bum rock" but still uses the "roll" maneuver to get around. Soon he will figure out how to move all four and he will be off (YIKES)!!

Ethan @ 9 Months

26 lbs 4 oz

31.5 inches long

Emma was practicing her "styling" techniques on Ethan last night. Ethan did not seem to mind being Emma's guinea pig, sitting quietly while she created her masterpiece.

Tah - Dah

So pretty Ethan!!

Last week old friends from PR visited us.

We enjoyed seeing Katie & Jeff again, but the best part was seeing how much their daughter, Kennadie, has grown and of course, meeting the latest addition... "Sawyer"

Sawyer - 2 months

Ethan - 8 1/2 months

Kennadie - 2 3/4 years

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!

Happy Canada Day... one day late.

We had a great time at our friend's Canada Day bar-b-que.

Emma ran around and played with all the kids (forgot my camera, so no pics) and Ethan sat on my lap for most of the afternoon. His ear infection is still with us and we are on the second round of antibiotics. Hopefully the darn thing will take a hike and my old Ethan will come back to me.

I know Ethan looks pretty happy in the photo, but his mood changes so quickly. I wish I could fix it for him and take away the discomfort!

Dann joined us after he got off work.

It was a beautiful evening so we stayed a bit later to enjoy it!

(the first evening in over a week that there were no thunder showers).
