Ethan In His PJ's

This morning Ethan looked so cute when he woke up, we had to snap a few pictures. Look at those pink cheek-ers!

Autumn in New Jersey

This past weekend we took a nice drive out to Sussex Co., NJ to Stokes State Forest. After driving up a very curvy road and a little hike, we reached this beautiful vista. We were amazed at how beautiful this area is!

Picky Eater

The photos below will give you an idea of what Jen goes through when trying to get Ethan to try new foods. In case you were wondering, those are prunes that landed on his nose when he smacked the spoon away. The other picture accurately displays Ethan's reaction to eating peas. What a stinker!

Future Attorney!

Today Ethan and Jen met Blake at work for lunch. We met some of Blake's very nice co-workers and checked out his office. We thought Ethan looked great in Daddy's chair!

Our Visit to Ort Farm

Yesterday we had a family outing to Ort Farm in Long Valley, NJ. It was a beautiful, crisp autumn day that was perfect for pumpkin picking. We took Ethan on his first hay ride, picked pumpkins, looked at farm animals and drank warm cider. It was a blast!

Swimmer Boy (a.k.a. "shrimp")

Recently, Ethan and Jen have been taking a swimming class at the YMCA called the "Shrimp/Kipper" class. Ethan absolutely loves being in the water. He bounces up and down when he sees the pool. This week he went under water for the second time. the first time went fine but he wasn't too happy about going under this week. Here are a few pictures of our little swimmer!

SUCCESS!!!!!

It's a miracle....Last night I decided that it was time for Ethan to get over his picky food preferences and try some new things. So, we started out with oatmeal and bananas (he wasn't a fan) and then moved to pears and applesause. To my surprise, he ate the pears and applesauce. Granted, he made some very funny faces at first, but I think the little guy is finally willing to branch out!

Our Favorite Little Guy!

Ethan Takes A Bath!!

The other day Ethan received his very first letter from his buddy Charlie who was born just a couple of weeks after Ethan. I was holding Ethan when I checked the mail and told him that he received his very first letter. He immediately started bouncing up and down and squealing. I had to snap a couple of pictures!

Over conference weekend, Scott and Natalie came down to NJ to visit. We (along with Emily) tagged along on their trip into Manhattan which was Ethan's very first New York experience. He did very well considering we dragged him everywhere from Canal Street to the Upper East Side. The girls had fun buying knock off purses while the guys tried to find parking. :) We hung out on 5th Avenue and had to make stops at Tiffany's, Harry Winston and the Disney Store. We also went to Serendipidy and enjoyed their famous Frozen Hot Chocolate desserts (Ethan was a BIG fan). These are some fun pictures from our trip!
