My little chef!

Ethan is still enjoying school. His teacher sent a weekly report home last week with a note at the top that read as follows: "I complimented Ethan today on being so well behaved. He winked at me! I cracked up. His face turned red and he started laughing - He's too cute!" I love that he brings his teacher as much joy as he brings to us! Everyday he amazes me! Not only is he very smart but he also has an amazing capacity to love! He enjoys helping others and that is an amazing and rare quality. Yes, he is also so strong-willed that at times I just want to scream but the good outweighs the bad a million times over! We went camping with Jennifer & Ben last weekend and he really enjoyed it. He got to hang out with Ben's niece Erin. They watched a movie on the lawn there, drove pedal cars, played in the game room, swam, and rode on the boat! Ethan acted out while we were there but I think it was because (1) he didn't have enough sleep and (2) he wanted to be cool like Erin (she is 4 years older than him)! Once we got in the car to leave he took a nap and after he woke up he acted like his old self again.

Landen now has three teeth (the third one just came in this past couple of weeks)! He is working on his fourth one and it isn't making him very happy :( He is still trying to crawl and I have been trying continuously to get him to say "mama"! I know he will talk when he is ready but I don't want him to forget what he should say first, lol!! We had to go to the pediatrician last week due to a cold and Landen now weighs 25 pounds!!!! The other day a cashier called him a "juicy baby"! That's the first time I had ever heard that one. He now reaches his arms out when he wants to be held and it is the sweetest thing <3

This is Landen while watching his "Praise Baby" dvd. He usually doesn't take his eyes off of the tv but then when he saw that I had the camera out he just had to smile for me :)

I fall more and more in love with my boys every day!!!
