Dr. Jeckyl & Mr. Hyde

Lately we've discovered that there are two sides to Ethan's personality. There's the sweet, tender, lovable side and then...there's the mischievous side. For example, he loves to give kisses to any baby that comes near him. At church, he literally grabs any baby walking by to give them hugs and kisses. We waves and blows kisses to random people wherever we go. He blew kisses to a lady in Ikea and she just melted. She said it totally made her day.

On the other hand, there's a little bit of a stinker brewing within. The latest trick has been hiding food in his highchair so that we think he's eaten his dinner. He used to throw it on the floor which he knew we weren't happy about. So, he got smart and started stashing it in his chair or, the latest, down his shirt. Also, he's been avoiding bedtime lately and will do anything to stay up. The other night we had done our whole sleep routine and were ready for bedtime when he started whining and pointing at the door. When he realized that I wasn't going to take him out, he started pointing at his books - in hopes that it would delay bedtime. He's very clever!

Below are a few pictures from the past week or so that we thought were pretty cute!

Ethan takes a bath. He loves trying to drink the bath water and having mommy sing the rubber duckie song.

That is a cute little boy! I think that all babies have a double personality. It's hard not to laugh when they are being a stinker because even that can be cute! You look fabulous!

Hi Jen, this is Amy Smith from your West Hartford days. I stumbled across your blog and thought I would check in to see how you all were doing. I can't believe how big Ethan is, what a cutie!

Ethan honey, Aunt Nic doesn't like the idea of you shoving chicken down your shirt. Maybe we could think of something else?
