I love to swim!

Well if Ethan had his way we would swim all day every day. The temperature doesn't matter and never has. When he was about 6 months old we put him in the water and thought he wouldn't like it because it was too cold, but that made no difference to him. Here he is loving the freezing water (of which Matt tried to warm up by heating 4 pans of water on the stove and pouring them in the pool...it didn't really help, but that's how cute of a dad he is)

Here is Ethan singing at the top of his lungs (song was made up) and holding all of his toys, not wanting any of them to feel left out of the play time...

Okay this has to be one of my favorite new things that Ethan does, he sits and pretends he is riding a horse and it starts out with, (in a very quiet voice) ride a horse like a lady, (a little bit of a louder voice with trotting accompanying it) ride a horse like a gentleman, (then at the top of his lungs with his right arm swinging in the air) ride a horse like a cowboy, woowho!

This is Ethan right before he took a fall in the pool...

I love summer and spending time outside and enjoying watching Ethan learn, grow, and discover. Every sound is exciting to him. Every truck, airplane, or train sound is new and intriguing. He loves to help me in whatever I am doing whether it is weeding, getting the mail, or sitting next to me telling me about his day. I really think this time of his life is the most fun and I wish time would slow down and keep him young forever. I love being his mom.
