Harvest Party

Ethan was very impressed with the festivities

Don't you just hate it when another princess shows up wearing YOUR dress

Ta-Da!

Toddlers are funny

I was giving Abigail a bath last night; when she was done playing she pulled the drain plug to let the water out of the tub. She then proceeded to tell me, "Water's sad. Water has to go home. He misses his mom and dad."

Following our church's harvest party (pictures from that coming soon) Abigail started getting fussy when we told her we were going home. To try to divert her attention Wil asked her where she wanted to go. Her reply, "The moon!"

Catching Up

The last few weeks have been so busy for us, we've taken lots of pictures but actually finding the time to download them and then get them onto the blog has proved difficult. Wil passed his HAC check last week and between all the flights required for that and the other duties he's had now that he's the officer in charge of flight line we only managed to have dinner together once during the week. And that was when we went in to the duty office while he was working and ordered pizza.

Ethan continues to grow well and he is such a happy baby. He still needs to eat once in the middle of the night but that is gradually getting later. Now he wakes up between 4 and 5 am. We've moved him into his own room which means all of us are sleeping better. Abigail has recently developed a dislike of the dark (fear seemed too strong a word to use) and now requires a night light. Somtimes at night she also turns on the hallway light, leaves her bedroom door open and then goes back to sleep. The good news is that she's coming into our bed less which means a better night's sleep for Wil. (She always goes to his side of the bed now, I would often wake up to feed Ethan and discover that she was there.)

On the trail
We found the treasure!

Ethan loves his changing table, it's nearly a guarantee that you'll get some smiles from him when he's there.

Make sure your volume is turned up =)

Exciting News

Abigail just read her first word! I was getting her some cereal for a snack and she looked at the box, pointed to the word and said, "Go!" She can "read" her books that she's memorized and repeat words when we read them to her but this is the first time she's ever actually read something all on her own.

And because I know you're all dying to see how much Ethan has grown (you know who you are Nana, Grandpa, Grammy and Poppy) here's a recent shot.
