First Birthday Celebrations

What is this thing and what am I supposed to do now???



Playgroup Buddies!


We had a visit from NaiNai (Dennis' Mom) one weekend, and the McClure clan (Mum, Papi, Uncle Chad and Aunt Pam) from Augusta the next to help celebrate Ethan's FIRST birthday! He had no idea why everyone was so happy but seemed to have a great time. He loved his first cupcake--Mommy had to take it away because he just kept eating. :) Dennis and I had a wonderful time with all the family and friends who came to help us celebrate this milestone. Looking back over the past year, we have *much* to be thankful for and are so grateful that Ethan is healthy and happy.

First Hair Cut

People say it's bad luck to cut a baby's hair before his first birthday. We don't believe in that :) and Ethan needed a trim. He loved his fire engine and was a great sport. Ethan's first birthday and portraits are next week, so we wanted him to look spiffy!

Ethan has started to pull up and stand constantly. He loves it! Occasionally he will cruise along things, too. He'll be walking before we know it.
