Congratulations, Heather and Brian!

Ethan hasn't slept well the past few nights and has been up quite often needing to be rocked back to sleep. His cry is different when he's sick and you can just tell he wasn't feeling good. But Ethan was acting like his normal self this morning! I called the pediatrician's office to talk to one of the nurses about what's been going on since they're only open this morning, and then closed tomorrow. She recommended just keeping an eye on him and if his temps come back to bring him in on Monday.

Since Ethan was feeling better, we decided to get out of the house and go down to the aquarium for a bit this afternoon. They are having a special event for Halloween called "Ghosts of Pirate Cove" with underwater sword fights, pumpkin carving, costumed divers, etc. We had a lot of fun :) Ryan got his season pass, so now we have a family pass for the whole year! Ethan loved checking out the aquarium with Daddy. He really loved the big turtle and tried to touch it! The aquarium was decked out for fall and was all decorated. We missed out on the swordfight, but we got to see one of the divers dressed up as a pirate! Ethan also got to pick out his own pumpkin from the little pumpkin patch. We think we will really enjoy our passes here. They also do a big Christmas event, so we will look forward to that next!

Big news on the talking front! Ethan actually started saying "Dada" today! He has said "Da" every now and then, but he is now saying "Dadadadada!!"

After we got home, Grandma and Grandpa A. came over to watch Ethan while we went to Heather and Brian's wedding. He was going to go to their house to sleepover, but since he's been up so much the past two nights, we figured it would be better for him to sleep at home, and then he wouldn't keep Grandma and Grandpa up all night :) Grandma said that Ethan said "Dadadada" lots!!

Heather and Brian got married at the Vineyard right up the road from our house, and had a gorgeous reception at the Fairfield Community Arts Center. Everything was beautiful and their reception was so much fun! They had an awesome DJ, and some hilarious dancing - Brian busted out his Michael Jackson moves, of course :) Heather looked absolutely stunning! We are so happy for the both of them!! They are off to enjoy the warm beaches in Jamaica for their honeymoon on Monday! Congratulations and best wishes for a wonderful life together!! And lots of babies :)
