Yum-o... sweet potatoes!

Daddy and Ethan had boy bonding time this morning and gave Mommy a break and let her sleep in. Thanks, guys!! When she got up and walked downstairs, Ethan immediately started talking to her and reaching out for her. When she got close he reached up for Mommy to pick him up. So cute!! We are loving this :) After Mommy picked Ethan up, he gave her big wet kisses on the cheek and then turned and smiled at Daddy. It sure feels so good to know you are loved!

We tried giving Ethan water in the sippy cup but Ethan doesn't really seem interested yet. He stuck the little sipper in his mouth right away but just munched on the nozzle instead of really sipping it, and played around with the cup. But, we did try sweet potatoes for lunch and he absolutely L-O-V-E-D them!! This has been the best reaction yet. He was ready for another bite one right after another. It was the quickest and messiest feeding yet :) He was constantly reaching for the spoon for more! Looks like we have a new favorite!

Ethan went to Mammaw and Papaw's for awhile and went to church with them. Mommy and Daddy were going to stay home to clean and reorganize Ethan's room/clothing, but Daddy had a surprise for Mommy! He made food and packed a picnic in our picnic basket and took her on a surprise date to Harbin Park. We had a very nice picnic and then went hiking. We didn't even know they had hiking trails, lol! It was a lot of fun. Soon after we got back home, Mammaw and Papaw brought Ethan home and he woke up all smiles to nurse. He fell asleep quickly, and Mommy took him upstairs to bed while Daddy had ran to get us a sandwich. Ethan woke up and was fussy and crying for about ten minutes. As soon as Daddy came home, he calmed down, Daddy read him "Goodnight, Moon", and then he went to sleep. I guess he is used to both Mommy and Daddy putting him to bed, and he just wasn't having it!!
